Homely is a Norwegian home alarm and smart home system from Homely AS in Oslo. It is built around a hub (Hjemmesentral) with Zigbee sensors, sirens, smart plugs and door lock modules, controlled from the Homely app, with an optional staffed alarm center.

Works with full table
Homely connects through its own hub, which links to the internet by Ethernet or Wi-Fi, talks to Homely devices over Zigbee and has a 4G eSIM backup included in the subscription. Homely describes the hub as open in principle but says every integration must pass an approval process, and its hub page says it works only with Homely's own solution.
That suits households that want a self-installed alarm with monitoring in Norway. It is weaker for open smart home setups: we could not confirm Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home or Matter, and Home Assistant support is read-only and community-made, while the Homey app needs a Homey Bridge.

| Connection | |||
| Zigbee | Yes | Homely's hub page says it uses Zigbee to communicate with all Homely components. Homely's help pages list the Zigbee channels the hub uses (11, 14, 15, 19, 20, 24 and 25) and say the channel cannot be changed manually. | Homely hub page Homely smart technology help |
| Wi-Fi and Ethernet | Yes | The hub connects by Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi. Homely recommends Wi-Fi channel 1 or 6 and advises avoiding channel 11, which overlaps most with the Zigbee channels. | Homely smart technology help Homely hub page |
| 4G / mobile backup | Yes | A built-in 4G eSIM is always active as a backup when the internet fails, included in the subscription. Homely says it is a temporary backup and not a replacement for Wi-Fi. | Homely FAQ |
