TL;DR<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Homei has launched dedicated Android TV and LG webOS apps.<\/li>\n
  • The new TV apps are built for QR code login and remote navigation with a clean experience.<\/li>\n
  • The new browser-based Homey.tv platform also works in vehicle browsers, including Teslas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Your smart TV remote is getting a new job. Smart home platform Homei has officially launched dedicated Android TV and LG webOS apps, bringing device control, automation and smart home dashboard to the home’s biggest screen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    According to the company’s announcement, once you install the app on an Android TV device or compatible LG TV running webOS, you simply scan a QR code to log in. From there, the experience is optimized for remote controls rather than touchscreens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Favorites sit front and center, providing quick access to commonly used tools, flows, and moods. This means you can dim the lights for movie night, trigger automations at bedtime, or control connected gadgets without having to navigate through menus. You also get dedicated sections for Devices and Flow if you want deeper control over your setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    If this idea sounds familiar, that’s because the smart TV dashboard has slowly become the next battlefield for the smart home ecosystem. TV makers know the living room is where most people interact with connected devices, and Homey is clearly leaning into that trend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The update isn’t just for TVs. Homey has launched a browser version on Homey.tv, and the company specifically notes that it works on vehicle browsers, including Teslas. An example given by Homey is that you open your garage door before you even pull into your driveway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Additionally, compatibility within the Homey ecosystem is widespread. The apps work with Homei Cloud, Homei Pro, Homei Pro Mini, and self-hosted Homei Server setups. On the LG side, the webOS app runs on compatible smart TVs released in 2021 or later, though availability may vary by region and model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
