Become a Homey Certified Installer and Grow Your Business
Grow your installation business with one flexible smart home and energy platform. Homey helps professional installers connect comfort, lighting, climate, safety, entertainment, and energy in one clear experience for the customer. With support for 2,000+ brands and 70,000+ devices, Homey gives you the freedom to build future-ready installations without locking every project into one manufacturer.
The Homey Certified Installer Program is designed for professionals who want to deliver smarter homes, stronger energy solutions, and long-term service after handover. Through online training, certification, installer tools, and the official Homey Certified Installer Badge, you learn how to design, install, automate, and support Homey projects with confidence.
Start with one useful improvement, such as solar-aware EV charging or climate control that responds to open windows. Then grow the same installation over time with dashboards, security, shading, heating, smart lighting, and advanced automations.
Homey in professional installations
Every home is different. One customer already has Philips Hue lights and a smart thermostat. Another has solar panels, a heat pump, an EV charger, and two different camera brands. A third wants a premium smart home experience, but without replacing products that still work perfectly.
Homey is built for that reality. It brings devices, brands, protocols, and services together in one app, so installers can create clear, useful solutions around the customer’s actual home. For the customer, the experience feels simple. For you, it creates more flexibility, more upgrade paths, and more reasons to stay involved after the first installation.
Imagine arriving to install an air conditioner. While discussing comfort, the customer asks if they can see their cameras, energy use, and climate controls in one place. With Homey, that single job can become a smarter installation: air conditioning that reacts to solar production, a dashboard that gives the customer control, and automations that reduce waste when windows are opened.
Homey Certified Installer Program benefits
The Homey Certified Installer Program gives you the knowledge, tools, and recognition to work with Homey in a professional setting. After approval, you receive access to the training program and the opportunity to order your first installer kit through the right channel for your region.
The installer kit helps you follow the training, test integrations, create automations, and build a demonstration setup you can use with customers. The exact contents, pricing, and availability may differ by country and distributor.

Professional tools for long-term service
A good installation does not end on handover day. Customers may want a new dashboard, a seasonal heating adjustment, a smarter EV charging automation, or help adding a new device months later. Homey gives certified installers a practical foundation for that long-term relationship.
With customer consent, the Homey Certified Installer Tool lets you view the status of your customer installations, organise installed Homeys, and securely request access to a customer’s Homey Pro or Homey Pro mini. The customer remains in control and must approve access before support can be provided.
This makes it easier to offer remote support, annual checks, energy optimization, seasonal comfort tuning, maintenance services, and future upgrades without always needing to visit the property.
Built for the work you already do
Homey is useful across different installer specialisms. Whether your work starts with electrical installations, HVAC, solar panels, batteries, EV charging, property projects, or premium smart homes, Homey can act as the flexible layer that brings the installation together.
For HVAC specialists
For HVAC professionals, Homey connects heating, cooling, ventilation, thermostats, heat pumps, sensors, energy information, and household presence. This makes climate control easier to understand for the customer and more intelligent behind the scenes.
A cooling system can pause when a window is opened. A heat pump can run more actively when solar production is high. Rooms can be heated or cooled based on occupancy, temperature, humidity, and time of day. Instead of a fixed climate schedule, the home can respond to what is actually happening.
Homey works with climate and HVAC brands such as Daikin, Danfoss, Honeywell, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, Panasonic, Plugwise, Remeha, Sensibo, Tado, and more. Compatibility can differ per product and integration, so always check the Homey App Store before specifying devices for a customer installation. To read a more consumer-facing example, check out the inspiration article about how to beat the summer heat with Homey, which shows how comfort and automation come together in daily life.
For electrical installers
For electrical installers, Homey makes it easier to add smart lighting, switches, sensors, relays, energy monitoring, and automation to both new-build and retrofit projects. You can upgrade a home step by step without forcing the customer into a full rewiring project, and the guide to connecting a first device to Homey gives a simple view of how approachable that process can be.
A motion sensor can switch on lighting from another brand. A smart relay can add intelligence behind an existing switch. A dashboard can give customers one overview for lighting, safety, climate, and energy. Homey helps you combine practical electrical work with a modern user experience.
Depending on the selected Homey product and installation, Homey supports technologies such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, Wi-Fi, 433 MHz, infrared, Bluetooth, KNX-IP, LAN APIs, cloud APIs, and more.
For solar, battery, and EV installers
For solar, battery, and EV installers, Homey helps turn separate energy products into one connected energy-management solution. Solar production, smart-meter data, EV charging, home batteries, dynamic prices, climate systems, and household devices can all become part of the same automation strategy.
An EV can charge when solar production is high or energy prices are favourable. A heat pump or air conditioner can make better use of available solar power. Household devices can be shifted away from expensive or high-load moments. The customer gets a clearer view of what is happening and a smarter way to act on it.
Instead of only showing customers how much energy they use, Homey helps you turn energy data into useful actions. That makes every solar, battery, or EV project more valuable over time. For example, customers can discover smart ways to save energy and money, see how Bas optimised EV charging with Amina and Homey, or explore how Jeroen uses his pool as a thermal battery.
For smart home specialists and system integrators
Homey creates a flexible bridge between premium systems and everyday smart devices for smart home specialists and system integrators. Lighting, climate, shading, security, access, energy, and entertainment connect in one customer experience.
Homey can also extend existing installations. KNX projects, for example, can be connected through a compatible KNX-IP gateway, allowing you to keep a reliable wired foundation while adding wireless devices, dashboards, voice assistants, and multi-brand automations. The support article on how to connect KNX with Homey gives installers a useful starting point for those projects.
For customers, this reduces the number of separate apps and interfaces while it creates more flexibility when designing, extending, or repairing systems that include different brands and technologies for installers.
For property managers and project developers
Homey offers a flexible platform for smarter homes, apartments, offices, and shared spaces. A project can start with a defined set of functions, such as lighting, energy insight, access, or climate control, and expand with optional upgrades later.
This makes Homey suitable for projects that need both consistency and flexibility. One building may use a standard dashboard and shared-space automations, while individual apartments can add extra comfort, safety, or energy features based on the resident’s needs.
Because Homey supports many brands and technologies, installers can tailor each setup while keeping the overall user experience simple and recognizable. Project teams can also use Homey Moods and Homey Dashboards to create repeatable experiences for different homes, apartments, or shared spaces. For inspiration from a real high-end home, the story of how DJ Sam Feldt relies on Homey shows how a connected home can still feel personal and easy to live with.
Home Energy Management with Homey
Energy is becoming one of the main reasons customers invest in connected technology. Solar panels, heat pumps, batteries, smart meters, dynamic energy contracts, and EV chargers all create new possibilities. The real value appears when these products can share information and respond to each other.
Homey brings energy insight, device control, and automation together. Customers can monitor live consumption, follow solar production, view historical data, compare device behavior with Homey Insights, and create dashboards that make energy use understandable at a glance. For deeper analysis, installers can also learn how to export Insights data.
For installers, this creates a strong reason to add Homey to energy projects. A solar installation can become a solar-aware home. An EV charger can become part of a household energy strategy. A heat pump can respond to presence, outdoor temperature, dynamic prices, and solar production.
Example: use solar energy for cooling
A customer has solar panels and an air-conditioning system. When solar production rises above a chosen level, Homey can activate or increase cooling. When production drops, prices rise, or a window opens, cooling can be reduced or paused. The customer stays comfortable while using more of their own solar production.
Example: smarter EV charging
Homey can combine information from the smart meter, solar inverter, EV charger, household consumption, and dynamic energy prices. Charging can start when solar power is available, slow down when household consumption is high, or shift to lower-priced hours when the customer wants to save energy costs.
Example: intelligent heating
Heating can respond to more than a thermostat schedule. With Homey, heating can take room occupancy, open windows, temperature, solar production, dynamic prices, time of day, and presence into account. This creates a more complete climate solution that balances comfort and energy use.
Easy to install and easy to explain
Smart technology should feel understandable. Homey keeps the customer experience clear while handling many integrations and technologies behind the scenes. In the Homey app, devices are added through a guided process: select the brand, choose the device, and follow the instructions. The Homey Knowledge Base is always there for practical installation and support questions.
Automations are created visually with Flow. A simple Flow might switch on the hallway lights when motion is detected, pause heating when a window opens, or send a notification when smoke is detected. For larger installations, Advanced Flow lets you combine multiple conditions, actions, devices, and systems in one visual interface.
Dashboards and Kiosk Mode help customers interact with their smart home in a natural way. A wall-mounted tablet can become a central overview for energy, climate, lighting, safety, and favourite scenes, while the Homey Web App can make bigger-screen setup and control easier during larger projects.
One platform for the brands you already use
Every installer has favourite brands. Every customer has existing devices. Homey helps bridge that mix instead of replacing it. It can connect products customers already own, add professional-grade products where needed, and create one clear experience around them.
Installer-relevant brands include ABB, Aqara, Daikin, Danfoss, Enphase, Fibaro, Fronius, Growatt, Honeywell, Huawei, KNX, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, Netatmo, Nuki, Panasonic, Philips Hue, Plejd, Plugwise, Remeha, Schneider Electric, Shelly, SMA, SolarEdge, Somfy, Tado, and many more.
That means a sensor from one brand can trigger lighting from another. A thermostat can respond to presence. Blinds can close when sunlight heats up a room. A smart lock can start a welcome-home Flow. Energy products can work together across brands.
Compatibility differs by product, region, technology, and integration. Before specifying a product for a customer installation, check the Homey Apps overview, search the compatible devices page, or browse the Homey Pro app catalogue for the brands you want to combine.
Connect and extend existing installations
Customers do not always want to replace what they already have. Homey can help extend existing installations by connecting wireless devices, cloud services, local-network products, and selected wired systems.
A KNX installation can be extended with wireless sensors and dashboards. Philips Hue lighting can be combined with Z-Wave sensors. Shelly modules can work alongside thermostats and smart plugs. Sonos speakers can play useful alerts. Solar production can trigger EV charging and climate actions.
This gives existing and premium systems a more flexible, user-friendly layer. It also helps installers solve practical customer questions without rebuilding the complete home, especially when combining technologies such as KNX, wireless sensors, dashboards, and multi-brand automations in one Homey setup.
Stay close to your customer after installation
A smart home grows with the people who live in it. Seasons change. Energy prices change. Families change routines. New devices appear. With Homey, installers can keep supporting customers as those needs develop.
Certified installers can build service propositions around remote support, annual optimization, seasonal comfort checks, dashboard updates, new device installation, energy tuning, and maintenance. The result is more than a one-time product sale. It is a long-term relationship built on trust, comfort, and practical value.
