So I’ve been using Sonoff devices for a number of years now and recently treated myself to an iHost to automate my home Central Heating with a mixture of TRV ZB and various wi-fi switches. Having been using iHost for about 1month now with firmware ver 1.13.4 I would like to suggest some future features:

SETTINGS  
Option to define NTP Servers  
Option to fully back up iHost to a pc/Mac

Wi-Fi DEVICES  
Option to add wi-fi devices in iHost without having to use the Ewelink App  
TH16&TH10 Option to access and edit “Auto” “Schedule” “Timer” and “Loop Timer” in iHost  
Basic Switches Option to access and edit “Schedule” “Timer” and “Loop Timer” in iHost  
Ability to update wi-fi devices firmware in iHost

ZIGBEE DEVICES (eg TRV ZB)  
Ability to update Zigbee device firmware in iHost  
Ability to view and edit Zigbee devices paired to iHost in the Ewelink App

Thanks

iHOST backup is needed ASAP !!!

Sonoff developers… PLEASE

ATM I backup scenes by doing prints screens of scenes details.

This is not serious solution this days.
