Paul Hibbert said Homey was brilliant… so I had to find out for myself.
This week I’m testing Homey (self‑hosted) to see if it’s really as easy, polished, and powerful as it looks — or whether Home Assistant still wipes the floor with it.
In this video I cover:
• Installing Homey self‑hosted on Proxmox
• Docker setup and first‑time configuration
• Connecting devices (Tasmota, Tuya, MQTT, etc.)
• What worked… and what absolutely didn’t
• How it compares to Home Assistant’s setup experience
• Whether Homey is worth your time
Is Paul right? Is Homey actually good?
Let’s find out.
