Sonoff iHost — installing Home Assistant, adding integrations and add-ons

Опубликовано 25 августа 2025, 17:36

In this video I continue the topic of the Sonoff iHost local smart home controller, and this time we will not look at the capabilities of its stock firmware, but at turning the device into a full-fledged Home Assistant server. We will install several integrations and add-ons — including specialized ones that let you control even the device’s backlight and buttons.
