Hi All!  
About a month ago, I started using iHost. I successfully connected several temperature sensors and a thermostat to it. I set up remote access.  
After that, I decided to try Home Assistant. The only problem with it was that it would periodically disappear from the network—the IP address couldn’t be pinged.  
I decided to switch back to CUBE OS.

I turned off the power, removed the SD card with HAOS, and inserted a blank SD card. I pressed the reset button and held it down while turning on the power. The indicator turned red, then after about 5 seconds, it turned blue for 1-2 seconds and then turned red again.  
I don’t see any activity on the network. There are no DHCP requests. There are no new IP addresses on the 192.168.0.\* network.  
If I reinsert the SD card with HAOS, HA boots successfully.  
How do I reset iHost to factory settings?

To switch back to eWeLink CUBE, follow these steps:

1. Power cycle iHost.
2. Repeatedly single-press the mute button (♪) within 3 seconds.
3. The LED Side Strip will switch to a RED flowing light pattern, confirming the system has switched back to eWeLink CUBE.

Hi!  
Thank you for answer!  
It’s correct! I restore CUBE on iHost.

Big thanks.
