GoKawiilHomey adds unified OTA firmware updates for Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices
Homey has introduced a new Device Updates feature that lets users install over-the-air firmware updates for smart home devices across Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave protocols directly within its app. Zigbee and Z-Wave updates come through their respective sub-apps, while Matter updates are pulled from the Connectivity Standards Alliance's Distributed Compliance Ledger. The feature is rolling out with Homey app version 9.10.0 and later across Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini, and Homey Self-Hosted Server.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Smart home users often juggle devices from many manufacturers using different protocols, making firmware maintenance fragmented and inconsistent. By centralizing updates into one interface, Homey removes a persistent friction point that has long complicated multi-brand smart home setups and kept devices running outdated, potentially insecure firmware.
- Homey's Device Updates feature centralizes OTA firmware updates for Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices.
- Matter updates pull from the Connectivity Standards Alliance's Distributed Compliance Ledger.
- Available now on Homey app 9.10.0+ across Cloud, Pro, Pro mini, and Self-Hosted Server platforms.
