Homey Pro is getting a big price hike next month because of rising RAM costs

If you’ve been thinking about buying a Homey Pro, you might want to move quickly.

Homey has confirmed that both the Homey Pro and Homey Pro Mini are getting a significant price increase from June 1. The company is blaming rising memory and storage costs for the jump.

According to Homey, the standard Homey Pro will increase from $399 to $449. Meanwhile, the smaller Homey Pro Mini will climb from $199 to $249. The new pricing could arrive even sooner if existing stock sells out before June.

The company says the increase is largely tied to soaring RAM and eMMC storage pricing. These are components that sit at the heart of its smart home hubs. Homey also pointed to supplier Raspberry Pi. This supplier has already raised prices and warned that further increases could arrive later this year.

It’s not the kind of announcement smart home fans ever want to hear. Especially at a time when local-first platforms like Homey are becoming increasingly attractive alternatives to cloud-reliant ecosystems. However, the company insists it held off for as long as possible. It also claims it’s still absorbing some of the additional costs internally rather than passing everything directly onto customers.

Importantly, not every Homey product is getting more expensive. The Homey Bridge, Homey Energy Dongle, Ethernet Adapter, Homey Cloud subscription, and self-hosted server option will all keep their current pricing. This is largely because they don’t rely on the same high-memory hardware that’s been hit hardest by recent supply chain increases.

The timing is interesting too, because Homey has been expanding aggressively in recent weeks. The platform recently launched dedicated apps for Android TV and LG webOS. This effectively turns TVs into full smart home dashboards with remote-friendly navigation and QR-based login. It also introduced Homey.tv, a browser-based interface that even works in Tesla browsers for controlling devices and automations from the car.

That broader push suggests Homey is trying to position itself as a more central smart home platform. This is one that stretches across TVs, vehicles, and local hardware rather than just existing as another app on your phone.

Still, with prices about to jump by as much as $50, Homey is also clearly creating some urgency for anyone still sitting on the fence.
