Pasching, Austria – April 30 – Tractive, the global leader in GPS tracking and health monitoring for cats and dogs, today announced a new partnership with Homey, an LG company known for its all-in-one smart home platform. Together, the companies have launched the Tractive App for Homey, making it easier than ever for pet owners to monitor and protect their furry friends, right from their smart home system.

Bringing pet care into the smart home era, the Tractive App for Homey lets users create automations that respond to their pets’ real-world activity—think turning lights red if your cat has not returned home for 12 hours or announcing when your dog leaves the yard on smart speakers.

By connecting Tractive’s GPS data with Homey’s wide range of smart devices, pet owners can build personalized, proactive flows between Tractive and smart devices.

“We’re excited to partner with Tractive and expand the Works with Homey ecosystem into pet care, making the smart home better together,” said Abe Haverkamp, Head of Partnerships at Homey. “Pets are family, and now Homey users can easily ensure their pets’ safety and well-being using Tractive’s trusted technology.”

For Tractive and Homey users, the possibilities for pet owners to trigger actions between Tractive and other smart devices are endless!

Tractive App for Homey Examples:

  • Trigger your smart doorbell camera to record if your pet is detected leaving the property.
  • Activate a siren sound on a smart speaker or flash smart bulbs if your pet leaves a designated safe area at night.
  • Trigger a recorded voice message (“Welcome home, Buddy!”) to play via smart speaker when your pet re-enters the home Wi-Fi zone.

And many, many more!

“At Tractive, our mission is to strengthen the bond between pets and their people through technology,” said Michael Hurnaus, CEO at Tractive. “Partnering with Homey allows us to bring our services into the broader smart home experience, making it even easier for pet owners to care for their pets — whether they’re at home or away.”

This partnership marks a significant step in Homey’s expansion into new lifestyle and well-being solutions, building on LG’s broader vision for connected living.

The Tractive App for Homey is available now for download here.
