HAOS for Sonoff iHost

This is an unofficial port of Home Assistant Operating System (HAOS) to run on Sonoff iHost (Smart Home Hub Appliance) hardware by ITead.

Documentation specific to this port is in this wiki -> https://github.com/darkxst/ha-operating-system/wiki/HAOS-on-Sonoff-iHost

A reason for using this port is that this hardware represents one of the most inexpensive ways to run HAOS on a decent dedicated appliance, and another reason is repurposing the hardware Sonoff iHost if you have outgrown its own built-in features, functions and supported devices.

A custom integration that enables you to control the RGB indicator and buttons on the Sonoff iHost is available here. The underlying library that powers this integration but also provide a command line tool to control the LED is available here

(FYI, compared to the official Home Assistant Green, Sonoff iHost comes with build-in Zigbee Coordinator, similar to Home Assistant Yellow).
