Homey vs Jeedom

Homey is a smart-home platform for controlling connected devices and building automations. It supports local control, Matter, Zigbee and Z-Wave, along with camera integration, energy monitoring and voice assistants including Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri Shortcuts. Flow and Advanced Flow cover simple and more complex automations, while the Homey App Store offers apps for brands and services such as Spotify, Slack, Twitter and Discord. Homey says it works with over 70,000 devices from more than 2,000 brands. Its free Homey Cloud plan covers up to five devices; Homey Cloud Premium costs $2.99 per month after that allowance. Homey Pro is a $449.00 USD one-time purchase, and Homey Pro mini is $249.00 USD once. Homey Bridge, an extension for Homey Cloud, is sold separately for $69.00 USD once. Homey is available on Android, iOS and web, as well as through tablets, desktop web, Apple Watch and widgets. Family and friends can receive different access roles, and flows can provide temporary guest access. Homey says it does not sell data or serve ads.

Jeedom is free, open-source home automation software for connecting, controlling, and automating equipment. It operates locally without requiring a cloud connection, and its scenario engine lets users build routines that adapt an environment to daily life. The software supports local control, Zigbee, Z-Wave, voice assistants, cameras, and energy monitoring. Jeedom Market offers more than 400 plugins for additional integrations and capabilities, while multi-brand and multi-protocol compatibility is checked through a dedicated compatibility site. A local history engine provides graphs, smoothing, compression, CSV and XLS export, and links to InfluxDB and Grafana. Jeedom exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 API and another API using URLs and HTTP requests. iOS and Android apps can control installations over local Wi-Fi or a mobile network. The mobile WebApp is mainly advisory and cannot edit scenarios, modify equipment, or open configuration. Software costs nothing; some plugins and services may be paid. Community forums and approved professionals provide installation help.
