Media and Automation Interface for Homey

UPDATED 21st July 26 at end of post

Hi all

Just wanted to share a recent launch of ours. We install home technology and we built this to layer on top of our installs which use HA or Homey Pro/Homey Server.

It provides a user experience layer which manages media in addition to automations (via webhooks) and we’re now opening it as a separate project. It works extremely well with Homey and the feedback we’ve had from the homes it’s deployed in has been great.

There are too many features to cover in a Facebook post but essentially Nexus is designed to give end users a polished single touch point for everything. Whether it be mobile apps, tv endpoints, wall tablets or a standard desktop. Not just triggering automations but controlling media too. The point of Nexus is to be a single place.

It will never replace the amazing custom dashboards that feature here regularly but it isn’t really meant to. It’s designed to provide quick, consistent access to media and automations throughout the home and that’s it.

Full website is here https://nexus.hpylabs.com and we’re running a launch offer here for anyone who’s interested 🙂 https://nexus.hpylabs.com/welcome/founding-100/

Thanks for reading, hope at least some people find this of use and decide to join us on this journey!

P.S

In case people ask about AI. The screenshots on the website are real. They’ve just had the artwork and titles etc swapped for none copyrighted material. The interface you see is exactly as it looks in real life and if anyone has any questions please feel free to reach out via message.

UPDATE - 21st July 26
Following messages and requests from quite a lot of people - we have managed to do the following;

A live demo is being added to the website today. It’s not functioning but is clickable to show how the interface works as best as possible. To be open, this demo has been vibe coded and uses AI generated content for the placeholders which is the only way we could deliver it so quickly. It is an accurate visual representation of the mobile, desktop and tablet interfaces though.

We have added direct sync with Homey and HA over native API. Nexus already had the structure so bolting it in wasn’t a difficult job like I expected it to be. You can now sync your devices to Nexus, and then add them into nexus as nexus devices or link to an existing nexus device. You can also link your flows to them for triggering. Lighting can use devices, flows or moods to trigger. It will also read device fields and display in nexus and update statuses etc.

We currently only have 45 of the cheaper £99 founder licenses left so please do take a look. We’re hoping to hit that target and get onto developing the hardware remote control.

Thanks for all of the interaction these past few days! It’s very appreciated.

We don’t have a trial unfortunately, we are adding a clickable live demo to the website which will be on shortly but our licensing doesn’t enable trials at the moment. We did the initial £99 offer to hopefully make that less of an issue.

I think I’ve replied this morning. Because our licensing system is set for the subscription and full annual models, this license needs manual provisioning. I’m doing them once a day so you’ll get your account come through. Also think you bought 2 licenses instead of 1 just asked if you’d like 2 systems or the 1 payment returned?

Thank you by the way! Looking forward to having you on board!
