## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

## Jobs To Be Done

From cited vendor documentation, each completion verdict says whether an agent can deliver the job's main outcome by and large through this product and which steps still need a person. Scope may limit cases or prerequisites while preserving that outcome. An unknown verdict means the answer is not yet established.

- **Automate household devices** — Control connected devices and run home routines.
  - Route: Native connector
  - Completion: Documented complete
  - Setup needs a human: Unknown
  - Per-task human step: Unknown
  - On behalf of a principal: Unknown
  - Scope: A ChatGPT agent uses the connected Homey app to check and control connected household devices and start existing Flows. This covers an existing Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini or Homey Self-Hosted Server installation where the documented app integration is available and configured.
  - Conditions: Requires an existing configured supported Homey installation, connected devices or existing Flows, a Homey account and access to the Homey app in ChatGPT. Connect the Homey account before asking ChatGPT to perform device or Flow actions. Availability depends on the connected home and client eligibility. Specific hardware model-year compatibility, human setup/execution requirements and delegated-use policy remain unknown. This assessment covers operating existing devices and routines, not creating new automations.
