Do we know anything new about iHost 2? I hope they are working on making it easy for us to transfer all devices and scenes from iHost 1 to iHost 2. really adding more than 40 new devices and so many scenes is definitely a strong demotivator to buy a new iHost 2.

I’m pretty sure I was told somewhere that you would be able to backup iHost 1 and upload it to iHost 2. Maybe when I was trying to think of uses for an iHost 1 if you have a 2.
Also would be interested in the date it is coming out. Guess now it is going to be a pre-Christmas thing.
For us using Home Assistant, we have ave not received HA Version 12.0. Is this the end of the project? I have waited for the new Ihost and now losing patience

They could at least write some information.
Just out of curiosity, what do you expect from a new iHost?
HA is nice
But there’s actually better hardware out there
Something that uses the official images directly
That way, you’re not dependent on the manufacturer forever.
And cube os
I actually really like it for certain configurations.
The current hardware is sufficient for that.
It’s more of a software thing
The hardware isn’t being used to its full potential yet.
Clearly integrated Thread would be nice
But the rest?

Ihost running HA gives you so many possibilities. The sky is the limit, once you go through the learning curve.
Check out my recent video on How to Use the Sonoff Ihost in-built speaker for voice notifications.
A faster Ethernet speed & NVME so it could be used to store movies and music as it is on all the time, aswell as a faster processor that is 64bit so that it is supported by Node Red in the long run.
