The Homey Bridge represents Athom's quest to make the Homey platform accessible to a wider audience by offering a cloud-based software solution. An interesting aspect about the Homey Bridge is that, unlike its previous sibling models such as the Homey and Homey Pro, it consists primarily of antennas. This design choice has allowed for a reduction in the price of the hardware, which in turn makes Homey Bridge more accessible and cost-effective for a wider market.

For users who do not have requirements for the advanced features offered by Homey and Homey Pro, Homey Bridge can be an excellent option. It is especially aimed at the less tech-savvy user who is looking for a simpler and more user-friendly solution for automating their home.

Although Homey Bridge is aimed at a less advanced user base, this does not mean that its functionality is limited. It still has the capacity to handle a variety of smart home devices and protocols, giving the user the ability to customize their smart home in a way that suits their needs and preferences.

In summary (without using the word “In Summary”), Homey Bridge represents Athom's attempt to make the Homey platform more accessible and affordable through a cloud-based software solution. With its focus on ease of use and cost efficiency, this is a suitable solution for those looking for an easier way to automate their smart home.
