If you’ve been eyeing up a new Homey smart home hub, you’ve only got a couple of weeks left before the prices jump.
Athom, the LG-owned brand that runs the Homey platform, has confirmed that both the Homey Pro and Homey Pro mini are getting price increases from June 1, with rising memory and storage component costs – widely labelled RAMmageddon – blamed for the hike.
According to Athom, the cost of RAM and eMMC storage has risen sharply, and its supplier Raspberry Pi has passed on higher costs for the compute modules used inside the hubs.
That means the Homey Pro will rise from €399 to €449 in Europe and from $399 to $449 in the US. The Homey Pro mini jumps from €249 to €279, while US pricing climbs from $199 to $249.
Homey says current pricing will stay in place until June 1, or while existing stock lasts, which gives buyers a short window to grab the current-gen hardware before the increase kicks in.
The timing is interesting because Homey only refreshed the Pro line a few months ago with the Homey Pro (2026), doubling the RAM to 4GB while keeping the same $399 / €399 pricing at launch.
Now that extra memory looks a lot more expensive to source than it did at the end of 2025.
What Athom is facing isn’t an isolated incident; it’s a symptom of a massive global component crisis.
Driven by the insatiable appetite of data centers for high-bandwidth memory, the ripple effect has sent the baseline prices for standard DRAM and flash storage skyrocketing over the last year.
A recent Gartner forecast warned that this wave of “memflation” will cause average annual prices for DRAM to spike a further 125% and NAND flash by 234% across 2026, with no meaningful pricing relief expected until late 2027.
The good news is that not everything in the Homey ecosystem is going up. Athom says the Homey Bridge, Energy Dongle, Ethernet Adapter, Homey Cloud, and Self-Hosted Server products will stay at current pricing because they don’t rely on the same memory-heavy hardware.
The brand also launched the Homey Self-Hosted Server at the end of last year – a software-only version of the Homey Pro operating system that runs on your own hardware.
You can run the Homey Self-Hosted Server on a Raspberry Pi, a mini PC, a NAS, or a docker setup through macOS or Windows.
