Google Home suits people managing compatible devices such as cameras, doorbells, speakers, thermostats, lights, locks, and appliances. Away-from-home control of Matter devices requires a Matter hub.
Homey suits people who want to control smart-home devices and create automations across supported brands and protocols. Its free cloud option fits households with up to five devices, while larger setups can consider the paid cloud plan or a one-time Pro hub.
