I understand that right? For Philips Hue I have no brigde longer necessary if I use Homey. Or ???
No, you will still need to have the bridge for your Hues. Homey will 'talk' to the bridge to control your lights.
Exactly. Technology wise Homey has everything on board to eliminate the bridge, but first round versions will still need it It's all a matter of choices. As long as it works, I'm glad the choose to deliver other thinks first. :-)
Hi, I'm thinking of preordering homey it seems better than other solutions I have found especially in this price range.
You say that technology wise homey has everything on board to eliminate the Philips bridge. Does that mean it should be possible to do that via a software update in the future?
I wouldn't like to have to do a hardware update and buy a new homey later on...
Well, for my interpretation, Homey works together with the Hue Bridge to control the Hue lamps. Their app is currently available in the Homey App Store. So controlling Hue will be available from the release of Homey.
