Yes, you need Homeway Supporter Perks to enable Google Home and Alexa. All new users get a free, no-obligation 30-day trial of Supporter Perks, giving you time to try Homeway and see if it works for you! Homeway establishes a secure, private connection between your Home Assistant server and Google Home or Alexa cloud services. This enables communication between Home Assistant and services without exposing Home Assistant to the public internet. However, Google Home and Alexa place a heavy workload on our services, which is why we require users to support Homeway with Supporter Perks to use them.
