Podcast : Inside Homey Self-Hosted Server • Philips Hue Founder Story • Last Christmas

Homey Self-Hosted Server is here. In the latest episode of The Homey Podcast, we share why we built it, who it’s for, and the thinking behind design choices like extending connectivity with Homey Bridge.

We also look back at last year’s Homey updates, what shipped, what we learned, and how that’s shaping what’s next.

You can watch or listen to The Homey Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. Tune in and subscribe to stay updated on the latest in the smart home scene.

Meet George Yianni from Philips Hue and learn how the brand evolved from an internal startup into a global standard for smart lighting.

George shares why long-term reliability matters, how Hue unlocks new capabilities from existing hardware, and how technologies like Zigbee, Matter, and AI are shaping the future of the smart home.

Philips Hue’s MotionAware for Hue Bridge Pro lets lights detect presence without cameras or motion sensors. Once set up in the Hue app, it’s available in Homey for use in your Flows.

Tomorrow is the final day of the Homey Advent Calendar. If you haven’t checked in yet, now’s the moment. Several deals are still available, with some running through New Year’s Eve.

We hope Homey has helped make your smart home a little more easy and fun this year. From the entire Homey team, we wish you happy holidays and a great start to the new year!
