It's been a while since we first announced that we will bring a new major update to Homemanger. Maybe you've been asking yourself: β€œWhy is the update taking so long?”

In a nutshell: It was time for something NEW.

We didn't want to leave it at just an update, instead we're developing a completely new app! πŸŽ‰

‍

Why the big effort?

We've rethought Homebridge management to make Homebridge accessible to even more people without skimping on features!

The new app makes it easier for you to get started with Homebridge, the configuration easier to understand and the management even more convenient. But we don't want to stop there... Our vision is to make free SmartHome more accessible. Homemanager should show you new ways of managing and operating smart homes in the future.

‍

What have we done so far?

Over the last few months, we have created a completely new basis that covers the majority of Homemanager's previous features. We have rethought and optimized everything from scratch in order to create the best basis for all the features you might want in the future.

‍

When will it start?

  • February: First tech demo for the Homebridge team and selected plugin developers.
  • March-April: Start of the pre-beta - be part of it! πŸŽ‰
  • May-June: Public beta => release phase πŸš€

Will my licenses remain valid?

Yes, all previous licenses can be migrated and at least the previous range of functions will be activated.

‍

Thank you for your patience, your interest and the trust you have placed in us over the years. We are convinced that the effort is worth it - and we are looking forward to showing you more in the new year! πŸ™Œ Be excited...
