Are you tired of being locked into your All-in-One Home Automation solution? If you’ve ever transitioned from one to another you know the struggle (Fibaro, Homey, Home Assistant, Zipato, Domoticz, OpenHAB, or whatever else is out there…). Wouldn’t it be great if you can simply use the best mobile app, the best dashboard, and the best rules-engine, etc?

The Homie convention is an MQTT based convention that adds meaning to MQTT topics. Used by tinkerers and home-automation users to easily discover, describe, and interact with devices. MQTT + Homie becomes your own open message bus without being locked into all of the proprietary all-in-one tools.
