Homey just solved one of the biggest smart home problems
You can now update Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices directly from the Homey app.
Homey, a smart home platform, has solved a significant issue for its users by enabling over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for devices from various manufacturers. This feature, called Device Updates, is now available in the latest version of the Homey app and web experience. By supporting Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices, Homey addresses the common frustration of managing firmware updates for products from different brands.
In a blog post, Homey explained that users of Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices can now download updates directly from the Homey app. Zigbee and Z-Wave updates will come from their respective apps within the Homey ecosystem, while Matter device owners will receive updates through the Distributed Compliance Ledger (DCL) managed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.
