I’m experiencing a recurring issue with my iHost running Home Assistant OS 16.3.

Every 1–3 days, the iHost freezes: the status LED turns solid red, Home Assistant becomes completely inaccessible, and it never finishes booting again on its own. The only way to recover it is to manually restart the device, after which everything works normally until the issue happens again.

From the logs, it looks similar to an unexpected power loss or an unclean shutdown, even though the device remains powered the entire time.

I’ve tested this on two different iHost devices with the same result, so it doesn’t appear to be a hardware defect.

My setup:

  • SONOFF iHost (AlBridge-26 4 GB)

  • Home Assistant OS 16.3

  • Main purpose: integrating SONOFF devices with Tuya devices

Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a solution? Is there any way to prevent these freezes?

Alternatively, is it possible to connect the Tuya integration directly to eWeLink CUBE instead of using Home Assistant?
