Should I upgrade from Homey sphere ball to the newest edition?

Hello!

I’m on the fence about upgrading from my original 2019 Homey (the white sphere). It’s still going strong and doing everything I need, plus I already have Advanced Flow unlocked.

With the steep price tag of the Pro, I’m worried I’d be paying a hefty amount for a minor upgrade. For those who made the jump from the 2019 model, was it actually worth it? I’d love to hear some real-world opinions!

Thanks!

Web interface for guests

I've got a guest staying at my apartment. He's not at all tech literate, so I don't feel comfortable asking him to download and install the Homey app. I'd rather get him to scan a QR code, which magically pops up a page on his phone :)

I thought about setting up Dashboard Studio which seems ideal, but doesn't seem to be able to easily run flows (I almost never just turn on one device – I nearly alway trigger a flow). (Homey dashboard is a no go because it requires him to have an account.)

Is there something I can use that can do that, and will run on Homey Pro 2019?

Do you use AI (or avoid it) for your smart home? 10-minute anonymous survey for my master's thesis

Hi, I'm Alfredo, a master's student in Digital Humanities at the University of Pisa. For my thesis, I've put together a short survey to gather information on how we use (or avoid) artificial intelligence tools to manage our smart homes, and how much we trust their answers. The survey is for anyone with a smart home, including people who have never used AI: understanding why some prefer to do without it is just as useful.

Responses are anonymous and it takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once data collection is over, I'll share the results here, with the trends that emerged on how we use these tools to manage our homes.

You can fill it in here:

Thank you so much for your help!
