Chores have a habit of creeping into every spare moment—vacuuming after breakfast, clearing dishes after dinner, squeezing in laundry between errands. With Homey, you can hand many of these jobs over to automations that run at the right time. That means evenings and weekends are yours again, whether you spend them with family, on hobbies, or simply enjoying a well-earned break.
Clean Floors, Right on Schedule
Keeping floors clean can feel like a never-ending job, but Homey can take it off your hands. Connect your robot vacuum from brands like Roborock or iRobot and set up a Leaving Home Flow. As soon as the last person heads out, it gets to work. You’ll return to a freshly cleaned home without the noise while you’re home.
For quick touch-ups, place a smart button in the kitchen. After dinner, one press sends the vacuum straight to the kitchen and dining area to collect crumbs. This keeps your busiest spaces tidy without running a full cleaning cycle.
Make Kitchen Cleanup a Team Effort
Tidying up after dinner is faster when everyone chips in. A simple Flow can send a friendly reminder through your smart speakers at a set time—say, 9 PM. It’ll ask everyone to bring their last plates and cups to the kitchen, turning a nightly chore into a two-minute team task.
You can even make trash day easier by mounting a small smart button near your bins. Press it when you take out a bag, and Homey will add “trash bags” to your shopping list. If the button hasn’t been pressed by Thursday morning, you’ll get a reminder so the bins never get missed.
Gardens That Look After Themselves
Mowing the lawn takes time that could be better spent relaxing. A robotic mower from brands like Gardena can take over—and with Homey, it gets even smarter. Set up a Flow that checks the weather and pauses mowing if heavy rain is on the way, so it only runs in the best conditions.
Watering gets the same upgrade. Homey can skip irrigation if rain is in the forecast, or use data from a soil moisture sensor to water only when your garden needs it. Your plants stay healthy, you save water, and you save yourself the hassle.
More Time for What Matters
Automating your chores with Homey isn’t just about convenience—it’s about reclaiming your time. A few smart Flows can take the routine work off your plate so you can focus on what you enjoy. Get started for free with Homey Cloud, or step up to Homey Pro for local control and advanced automations.
