Homey — A better smart homev10.1.0

Released July 27, 2026Major

Android

The latest major update resulted in a 0.41-star decline in the average Android rating. While the new flow design logic received positive feedback, persistent friction in account registration and regression in color adjustment precision drive a negative net sentiment. The current impact is classified as negative, though the small sample size suggests caution in long-term projections.

What worked

New feature
Users identify the flow design logic as a manageable interface for home automation tasks.

What didn't

UX
backfired
The interface update introduced a color wheel lacking numerical input, and the account registration flow now requires username inputs that conflict with existing sign-up fields.

Marlvel takeaways

Align account registration username requirements with the sign-up form fields to resolve user friction.
Restore precise numerical input options to the LED color wheel interface to address control complaints.
Monitor connectivity and onboarding stability as recurring complaints persist despite the latest performance improvements.
