SONOFFiHost Smart Home Hub, 4G Central Control Gateway, Private Local Server for Secure Home Automation, LAN&Zigbee Compatibility, Local Data Storage and Open API for Customization(RV1126 DDR4 4GB)

I love the device, it does exactly what it advertises provided that you spend some time learning how to use it. This is not an easy device to use and if you are not tech savvy enough, you might have a bad experience.If you get it, the first thing you must do is to update the firmware of the device. The version I got couldn't update automatically so I had to link my eWeLink account to my IHost, then update it through my phone's eWeLink app.Once the device is updated, you get the latest software available, like the Matter bridge that allows connecting to voice assistants without Node-Red. You can also use Node-Red but I found that to be a bit time consuming to set up.With the latest software version, I added my Sengled(Zigbee) devices and then bridged it with Amazon Alexa without a single issue.It's a great device with great software. I do wish that they added better documentation or updated the old tutorials they have. I spent a day trying to set up my devices through Node-Red just to find out I was running an outdated device.

Muy fácil de instalar y poner en marcha no requiere que esté el internet la opción cash es muy práctica me encanta muy útil con dispositivos Echo Dot funciona perfectamente

This would be a better replacement for something like SmartThings if it had Z-wave support also. If I have to run something else for Z-Wave it defeats the purpose.Hopefully there's a daughterboard or z-wave stick that you can add-on to make that happen. Or, better yet, maybe the radio is in the unit, just not activated due to lack of software. That would be great, but I highly doubt that, and is conjecture on my part.The thing is - local control of your home is what you need. The whole "rely on our cloud" for home is not a great model.From reading around - I understand that this thing has docker support. So I believe the possibilities of what can be achieved will expand. Hoping the developer community rallies around this thing.Again - not having z-wave means I can't move everything to this. I have way too many z-wave things. I know zigbee seems to be gaining traction - but there are many z-wave based products for which I haven't found a reasonable zigbee replacement just yet.Long story short - Sonoff - please figure out how to get Z-wave support on here - or this is DOA, for a lot of us.

I can't get it to pair to anything. At all. Hours and hours, I have been trying to connect this to my smart devices to control everything from one place as promised, but so far this has just been a paperweight.

This is a must have for automators on a Sonoff ecosystem. This now supports matter, which expanded my automation beyond just Sonoff products. Now I don't need the internet for my home automation to work.Even though this product is marked as beta, it is a solid product with minimal bugs and tons of features added with every update. Sonoff support is very helpful and responsive.

Excelente diseño, acabados y lo más importante su funcionalidad!

Sonoff has a great reputation in the enthusiast community, although a lot of it is in spite of themselves: they tend to make useful hackable boxes that are easy to upgrade with different firmware that enables complex home automation scenarios. (Their 433Mhz RF boxes are a particular star.) This is their atempt to move into the whole-home automation control world, and while I definitely see and appreciate where they're headed, it's not ready for prime time yet.Right now, what you get is a box that out of the box is essentially just a classic Zigbee gateway. When you add products, they end up in a list and you can set up scenes and a web dashboard (which you could then control from automation screens, tablets, etc.). And... that's pretty much it.There's a huge amount of hardware here that's underutilized with promises for the future. Sonoff says that in 2024, this device will gain Matter support, and there's also an internal Wi-Fi radio that's currently not used at all. But I have to judge it based on the current feature set.Probably the best feature of this is the ability to add new features via Docker support. This is similar to another home server device I recently tested, the ZimaBoard, which has its own Docker-centric home OS. The Sonoff device is much less powerful, though, so while it should be fine for some simple Node-RED logic, it's not going to have the horsepower to be a complete home server. (You also need to supply a MicroSD card for Docker support to work.)Given Sonoff's reputation, I was hopeful I'd be able to ssh in and set this up with custom software, but no shell access is provided - a shame as community development has been instrumental in making their past products attractive to home automation enthusiasts.There's a lot of potential here, but so far, it's difficult to recommend this hub in its current state. I'm looking forward to seeing what Sonoff does with it as they add Matter support and build out the functionality, though.

Recieved early and as easy to setup as in the video , very happy can't wait to start create my own scenes in Node- Red.
