    Concept ingenious, but unusable because of poor reliability.

    The homee concept with the different cubes is ingenious. Unfortunately, the system is so unreliable that it is completely unusable for a halfway serious operation (I have the Brain with ZigBee Cube). In one room I have 5 Philips Hue bulbs installed with a Philips Hue dimmer switch. Only about every 5th to 10th time all lamps are switched on or off correctly. Sometimes you have to press the on or off button on the dimmer switch up to three times until all lamps respond. Really a pity. This will probably not change so quickly, because the problems are known for more than 2 years and obviously nothing has been done.
    Besides, for a simple dimming you have to create a rule per lamp (or lamps) that should be dimmed and per dimming level. This quickly becomes very time-consuming and confusing. This deficit has also been known for years and does not seem to be improved. Too bad, because as I said the concept would be ingenious.

    Great idea to connect several standards, but implementation or corresponding extension disappointing

    The concept behind it is very interesting, also the supported devices. Now, however, the big but:
    - Although you can, for example, Zigbee also "other devices" to learn, which are not in the list, it can come to Problmen.     In my example I have temperature sensors in operation from Aquara or Xiaomi, which are very strong price line and these communicate via ZigBee. But they are NOT compatible with Homee, because according to the devs they "deviate too much from the standard".
    - Also I run 4 MyStrom adapters which are officially supported by Homee but again.... the Swiss version of the adapters do NOT work! Only the DE version with DE plug can be integrated into Homee. On the part of Devs it is basically said: "is so because is so..."

    Unfortunately very disappointing and so I control the rest via the Philips Hue Bridge.     

    Pro

    • Beautiful design
    • Simple operation
    • Supported devices (probably) work fine

    Contra

    • Stick to the list... Other devices will pretty much not work
    • Devices which speak a "FunkSTANDARD" are partly not supported
    • No Mystrom (CH) support
    • More "workarounds" than features implementation
    • Limited range of devices despite radio standards
    • Device requests are often rejected (even by larger providers)
