Questions about Athom Homey Pro

That's not a problem. I can recommend the Homey Community, you have all the answers there. https://community.homey.app/ Homey is simply the easiest best system. I've loved it for many years. And the company has a great spirit.

Short answer: In many cases you can replace existing bridges with Homey Pro, but for some systems (e.g. if manufacturer software/functions are only available via the original bridge) the bridge remains useful or necessary. Important details: - Homey Pro supports multiple wireless standards (including Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) and can connect many devices directly, so separate bridges are often no longer necessary. - Philips Hue: Homey Pro can integrate Hue lights directly via Zigbee or alternatively connect the existing Hue Bridge; both are possible - without a bridge, saved Hue scenes/bridge-specific functions are lost, with a bridge they are retained. - Nuki: Support depends on which interface you use (Bluetooth, Nuki Bridge/API). Some Homey apps work with the Nuki Bridge or Nuki Cloud, so the Bridge may still be required for full functionality (Community apps or official integrations may vary). - Practical consequence: For many devices, Homey Pro completely replaces one or more Bridges; however, for some manufacturer functions or scenarios (e.g. proprietary cloud features, backups of scenes or special sensors), the original Bridge is still useful or required. - Recommendation: For each of your bridges, check specifically whether there is an official Homey app or a reliable Community app (app catalogue on Homey shows whether the bridge or direct connection is supported). If you want, I can look specifically for Philips Hue and Nuki in your setup (number of devices, which functions are important to you) and tell you whether you probably need to keep the bridges or not.

In principle, it is correct that bridges are no longer required (e.g. Philips). However, the problem is that there are some manufacturers who do not allow direct access to their devices in the home network (Daikin), but you can integrate them via the cloud, often without a bridge. And other manufacturers even deliberately make it very difficult to integrate their products (velux or RCT, for example). They are still living in the Stone Age. However, the trend is for everything to be increasingly integrated into one system. Today, almost everything is networked via WLAN because it's cheap and good. And this is almost always an open system. In terms of ease of use and the ability to connect devices, Homy is the best compromise on the market. I have connected 120 devices from the wallbox to solar.
