The Homey Podcast

Abe from Homey talks with Eric Welander, who’s been documenting his smart home on YouTube since 2018, about the week’s biggest news: Google’s new smart speaker and SwitchBot’s parent company buying Nanoleaf.
They compare notes from the CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance) event, then walk through Eric’s own smart home setup: how it’s built, what’s changed over the years, and where Homey fits into his daily routine.

Danny Oosterveer from De Groene Nerds joins Abe to dig into how a smart home becomes a full energy management system (EMS). They cover solar production, EV charging automation, dynamic energy pricing, and the automations that turn all of that into real savings on energy and money.
Danny co-hosts the Dutch podcast De Groene Nerds, where he covers sustainable living and smart energy for more than 25,000 engaged listeners. He’s also appeared on Dutch national news to explain dynamic energy pricing, the same topic he and Abe dig deeper into here.

Paul Hibbert and Shane Whatley join Abe for a wide-ranging conversation about smart home news, AI, Matter, and what a smart home should actually be. They also answer questions straight from the Homey Community.

Co-founder Emile joins Abe in episode 13 of The Homey Podcast. They cover a wave of new Homey features, share what they’ve been up to in their own smart homes, and tell the story of the failed attempt to make it to CES. Plus: a recent controversy, and answers to your questions.

Co-founder Emile joins Abe in episode 12 of The Homey Podcast to discuss Homey Self-Hosted Server, welcome new partners, and look back at everything that happened in 2025. They share behind-the-scenes insights, and look ahead to what’s next for Homey and the smart home world.
