I want to learn more about home automation. I currently have Apple TV as HomeKit hub, some Eve Energy devices, Google Nest Hub Max, Google Hello Doorbell and a couple of old Nest Cam. I am using Apple Home App, also set up Homebridge on the M1 Mac Mini.
I also have dabled into Homey and Home Assistant. They take very different approach. Based on my preliminary observation, Homey is a lot more visual (like the use of flow for programming), Home Assistant is a lot more nerdy, using YAML for configuration, etc. Apparently Homey is more restrictive (like IOS versus Android), HA is more like Android, more configurable but need more work.
Just wondering other have more advice or experience to share using either or both platform, especially which is better future proofing using HomeKit, Google and better support for thread and Matter . At this moment, I am slightly more inclined to use Home Assistant and order the Home Assistant Sky Connect, not sure there could be any issue using them in Australia
I have also reviewed the discussion on this post.
Appreciate any suggestion and recommendations.
