Set up a smart home with frient products and the Homey hub
If you want to use the frient smart home devices, you need a compatible Zigbee Hub. One of the hubs you can use for many of the frients is Homey.
The Homey hub makes it easy for you to connect the frients and set up flows to protect your home and loved ones, automate your everyday life, and lower your electricity consumption. With Homey, you can also connect the frients to other smart home devices such as light bulbs or door locks.
The hub is compatible with most frients. Check out our "frients with" page for a full list.
Here's some inspiration for what you can do with your Homey:
Connect your home with flows
Use Homey to easily set up flows to connect the frients with each other and other smart home devices to make your everyday life simpler.
Set up your lights to turn on automatically whenever you enter a room in the evening or turn off all appliances at once when you go to sleep.
You can make devices work together, turn them on and off at different times, sunset, or sunrise – Homey sets no limits to your creativity.
Keep your home and family safe
Homey and the frients can also help you make your home safer. Use Homey to send you a notification from your Motion Sensor or Entry Sensor that there is suspicious activity at home when you aren't there.
With a Smart Plug Mini, you can automate your lights to make intruders think someone is home when you're actually enjoying a well-deserved vacation.
Homey also helps you protect your home from fire and water leaks with the friently alarms. In case of an emergency, you'll get an instant notification and can act before the damage becomes extensive.
Make your home greener
One of Homey's goals is to make your home greener – a goal supported by the frients.
The hub lets you automatically turn devices off when nobody is home. It can send you notifications about unusually high energy consumption or turn off the lights in the house when you go to bed.
With the Smart Plug Mini, Smart Cable, and Electricity Meter Interface, you can monitor the energy consumption of your electrical appliances and give Homey the information it needs to make your home greener.
