Homey Pro Smart Hub Ethernet Adapter Setup Guide

Homey Pro Smart Hub Ethernet Adapter

  • Tools required:
    • Homey Pro Smart Hub
    • Homey Pro Ethernet Adapter (this product)
    • Standard Ethernet cable (as used on your local network)
    • Active Ethernet port on a router, switch or wall outlet
  • Applications:
    • Homey mobile app (iOS or Android) to verify the hub is online and to complete any configuration
    • Router or network management interface (optional) if you need to assign a static IP, configure VLANs or reserve DHCP addresses

Setup steps:

  • Prepare devices: place the Homey Pro and the Ethernet adapter close to an available network port and a power outlet for the Homey Pro.
  • Power state: if the Homey Pro is powered on, you may choose to power it down before connecting the adapter. Refer to the Homey Pro documentation if unsure; powering down is the safest option for making physical connections.
  • Connect adapter to Homey Pro: attach the Ethernet adapter to the Homey Pro according to the adapter's orientation and the hub's connector. Ensure the connection is fully seated but do not force connectors.
  • Plug in Ethernet cable: connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the adapter and the other end to an active port on your router, switch or wall outlet that provides LAN connectivity for your network.
  • Power the Homey Pro: switch the hub on or reconnect its power supply. Allow the hub to complete its normal boot sequence; this can take several minutes depending on the device state.
  • Verify network link: once booted, check the Homey mobile app to confirm the hub shows as online. If the app reports the hub is connected, the wired connection is functioning for normal operation.
  • Network configuration (if required): most networks use DHCP and the Homey Pro will obtain an IP automatically. If your network requires a static IP, VLAN tagging or special firewall rules, configure these in your router or network equipment, or in the Homey Pro network settings as documented by Homey.
  • Troubleshooting:
    • If the hub does not appear online, confirm the Ethernet cable and the network port are working by testing with another device or port.
    • Try a different Ethernet cable or use a known-good switch port to rule out cable or port faults.
    • Restart the Homey Pro after verifying the physical connections and network port status.
    • If your network uses MAC filtering, static IP assignment, or VLANs, ensure the hub is permitted and configured correctly in your network equipment.
  • Final checks: confirm all Homey functions that require network access are operational via the Homey app. If you encounter persistent connectivity issues, consult the Homey Pro documentation or your network administrator for network-specific settings.

Notes: the adapter provides a wired Ethernet connection for the Homey Pro to improve stability and latency where Wi‑Fi is unreliable. Additional network-specific configuration is not specified by this adapter and will depend on your local network settings.
