Futurehome is a Norwegian smart home platform built around the Smarthub, a hub with Zigbee and Z-Wave radios that links lights, plugs, thermostats, sensors and energy devices. It is controlled from the Futurehome app. The company behind it, Futurehome AS, was declared bankrupt on 20 May 2025, and the platform now runs under a different operator with a paid subscription.
The Smarthub connects to the home network over a cable and talks to devices over Zigbee and Z-Wave, with setup and daily control in the Futurehome app. Following the bankruptcy, the platform was bought from the estate and is run by FHSD Connect AS. As of reporting in July 2025, core features such as device control, automations, modes and energy services need an annual fee of 1,188 NOK, and hubs without a subscription no longer work as before. We could not confirm the current price or terms as of November 2026.
That suits Norwegian households that already own a Smarthub, want Zigbee and Z-Wave in one box, and are comfortable paying a yearly fee. It is weaker for anyone who needs a guarantee of long-term operation: Futurehome itself says it cannot promise that local API access will stay unchanged, and we found no Matter support, Alexa documentation or built-in Home Assistant integration.

The current app for the Smarthub. Covers lighting, climate, home, away, night and vacation modes and shortcuts, automations, multiple users and households, a timeline with push notifications and the Power Manager energy features. Recent releases added device history, full hub backup and restore, a dashboard and in-app device firmware updates. The App Store listing names Futurehome AS as seller, while the Android package listed by Similarweb names Sikom Connect AS as developer.
The legacy app for the Classic Smarthub, which uses EnOcean and Z-Wave radios. The Android listing says Classic owners can migrate to the current app from the Classic app's settings menu. We found no separate store link and could not confirm whether it is still maintained.
Compatibility, platform by platform
Official supported by the brandCommunity built by someone elseNot found searched, nothing foundUnconfirmed sources conflict or could not be opened
Smarthub II supports Zigbee and attaches to the home network with the included cable, which needs internet access. The older Cube 1V1 hub also has Zigbee; the Classic hub does not.
A UK retailer comparison lists Wi-Fi for the Smarthub II, but Futurehome's own support page describes a cable connection to the network. Wi-Fi devices such as Mill heaters join through cloud integrations rather than the hub radio.
Documented by Futurehome. Link it under Works with Google in the Google Home app and sign in as household owner. Only one household can be connected. Lights (on/off, dimming, colour), appliances, thermostats and sensors are covered, and modes and shortcuts appear as scenes.
Futurehome publishes a Playground article for the Philips Hue Bridge. The same list includes Sonos, Bose, Netatmo, Sensibo, Tibber, Easee, Zaptec and others.
Futurehome documents a local API: enable it in the app and the Smarthub exposes its MQTT broker on port 1884 using the FIMP message format. It is labelled Beta, needs hub version 1.9 or later, and Futurehome support is needed to turn it off. A separate open API is described for developers at dev.futurehome.io. After the bankruptcy, Futurehome said it cannot guarantee that local API access will not change.
We found no built-in Home Assistant integration, though the integrations list we could open was truncated, so this is not certain. Two community add-ons exist: one bridges FIMP messages to MQTT discovery, and another presents itself as a drop-in replacement for the app and uses public and reverse-engineered local APIs. Neither is from Futurehome.
A Homey app from Drenso V.O.F., marked Official in the Homey store and described as developed together with Athom, not published by Futurehome. It lists Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth LE devices and requires Homey Bridge for every device. It is listed for Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and self-hosted, and warns that Futurehome may not be compatible with some Homey models.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.

Does Futurehome support Matter?
Not that we could find. No Matter support is mentioned on Futurehome's Smarthub page, and a third-party compatibility site lists none. We found no announcement.
Does Futurehome work with Alexa?
Unconfirmed. The Google Home article and the Playground list do not mention Alexa, and we found no Futurehome Alexa page when searching.
Does Futurehome work with Google Home?
Yes, officially. Documented by Futurehome. Link it under Works with Google in the Google Home app and sign in as household owner. Only one household can be connected. Lights (on/off, dimming, colour), appliances, thermostats and sensors are covered, and modes and shortcuts appear as scenes.
Does Futurehome work with Apple Home (HomeKit)?
Unconfirmed. Not mentioned by Futurehome. A package named homebridge-futurehome appears on npm, but we did not open it, so what it does is unconfirmed.
Does Futurehome work with Home Assistant?
Yes, through a community-built integration. We found no built-in Home Assistant integration, though the integrations list we could open was truncated, so this is not certain. Two community add-ons exist: one bridges FIMP messages to MQTT discovery, and another presents itself as a drop-in replacement for the app and uses public and reverse-engineered local APIs. Neither is from Futurehome.
Does Futurehome work with SmartThings?
