Have you installed HA as a docker on iHost? Well, it is not the same as other installation options, e.g. on RPI. Mainly because there are significant limitations on iHost. You quickly reach a wall and the fun is over. A better idea is to use iHost as the HAOS hardware platform. Unfortunately, this project has recently been stuck on a serious Ethernet port problem. There’s more about it in this thread.
Almost all tutorials from eWeLink are out of date. With particular reference to those concerning integration with HA. eWeLink has even stopped developing the official integration with HA. With the continued development of HA, this integration sucks.
This does not seem to be very successful. What came out of the quite interesting iHost project was a tangle of unfinished and/or underdeveloped ideas.
There’s a custom integration called Sonoff LAN for control Sonoff devices with eWeLink (original) firmware over LAN and/or Cloud.
By all means, do not go for eWeLink’s official HA integration. It’s outdated (2021) and no longer maintained. eWeLink does not seem to be concerned about this.
I didn’t know that.
Thank you.
But someone in Sonoff is responsible for this situation.
Maybe someone should lost the job.
Do you mean this?
Yes, it’s the real McCoy! The one and only.
You’re going to extremes! Should be really chewed out once or twice, for a start.
It is bit difficult to install. But will try again.
Could you please check for me one thing… is it possible to use ZBbridge Pro to sound alarm in scenes?
Under what circumstances?
If temp will drop to certain value… then sound alarm for 3 minutes using ZBBridge Pro.
This is what I can do using Sonoff cloud eWeLink. But can’t do using iHost.
This I don’t know. Sorry.
No problem.
I am very satisfied with ihost but I have installed iobroker in the docker (in my opinion it is better than home assistant and does not cause problems with ihost) and have integrated anything of any brand.
My sonoffs are connected to the pro hub because I want to use the app too but they are also integrated locally with iobroker and even with ihost’s Cube. If they were connected directly to ihost’s zigbee they could still be integrated into iobroker. So it is possible to do everything and ihost is a great hardware to do it
Sonoff I don’t know but ihost yes if you put iobroker in it
Please… tell me more about this iobroker?
How did you install it on iHost and how configure to run and discover all Sonoff devices?

From Docker, install buanet/iobroker. Then you have online tutorials for iobroker.
For sonoffs in ewelink: Adaptor ham (homebridge) with plug in ewelink , configuration file (you can insert also plugin dummy for virtual switchs):
{
“description”: “Add configuration for your accessories or platforms according to the docs of the plugins.”,
“accessories”: [
{
“accessory”: “DummySwitch”,
“name”: “My Switch 1”,
“disableLogging”: false
}
],
“platforms”: [
{
“platform”: “eWeLink”,
“name”: “eWeLink”,
“countryCode”: “xx”,
“username”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,
“password”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”
}
]
}
If you have also zigbee sonoff with the coordinator integrated into ihost:
Install oznu/homebridge in ihost docker, then adaptor homekit controller in iobroker.
For automations in iobroker here are various systems but the easiest is to use scripts. If you don’t know how to program in javascript you can use blocky which is kind of a puzzle: https://wiki.instar.com/en/Advanced_User/IOBroker_on_Raspberry_Pi/IOBroker_Setup/Blockly_Script_Engine/
Backup function is perfect. It backup all, program, configuration, automations. Obviously the automatic backup must be done on a device external to ihost for obvious reasons
I’ve a Sonoff ZB Bridge Pro with Tasmota firware installed.
How can I use it in HA (installed on a Raspberry)?
Just check this video out.
