TL;DR Summary

The Homey Pro is a specialized smart home hub designed for those who prefer local control and want to integrate primarily Zigbee or Z-Wave devices. Priced at $400, it offers robust local or cloud backups, advanced automation, and a custom scripting language. However, it lacks the extensive compatibility of open-source projects and major smart home platforms. While it excels at adding Zigbee and Z-Wave devices, compatibility with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-based devices is mixed. Overall, the Homey Pro is a particular choice for those who prioritize local control and have already invested in compatible hardware.
