Global Goal

“We have strict launching policies per country, in order for us to be able to guarantee availability, information and compatibility”, says Stefan Witkamp, commercial director of the company. “Because we launch the product per country, we can make sure that Homey also works well with devices that are popular in that particular country”, explains Emile Nijssen, creative director at Athom. In this context we are integrating, amongst others, the Hive Thermostat, Amazon Echo, LightWaveRF, Sartano and Nexa. “This way, we enable everyone to use Homey together with the devices you already have, know and like.”
