With Homey Pro Backups, your Homey Pro mini is automatically backed up to the cloud every night. You can restore your backup when setting up another Homey Pro mini or after your device returns from repair.
Backup compatibility
Backups from other Homey Pro models can’t be migrated to Homey Pro mini.
This functionality requires a subscription. Alternatively, you can manually create a local backup using the Homey USB Tool.
About backups
Homey stores its last 7 backups in the cloud. Backups are bound to Homey’s owner’s account. You can back up up to 3 Homeys at the same time.
In short, one account can store up to 21 backups. You can manage and delete your backups at My Backups on the Homey website.

Backup compatibility
It’s not supported to migrate a backup from a Homey Pro (2023 — 2026) or Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) to a Homey Pro mini.
Transferring ownership
When you transfer ownership of Homey to another user, your backups up to that point remain available to you. If the new owner is also a Homey Pro Backups subscriber, Homey will continue to back up automatically. However, the new owner can only access the backups created after the transfer date.
