Way back at the beginning of my figuring out home automation, I bought a Animus Heart.

It’s ok but it’s extremely limited and the UI is terribly sluggish and unwieldy, so I’d like to replace the OS with Home Assistant instead.

I have reason (my router recognising it as a such when it crashed) to believe that on the inside it’s just a Raspberry Pi with some added bells and whistles.

Has anyone tried this? Is this feasible?

    Update 2: Home assistant from the normal raspberry pi SD flasher worked like a charm out of the box.

    It’s basically just a custom raspberry pi board with some integrated antennas and apparently a temperature and humidity sensor included.

    That’s it, everything else went fine too, overall a strong purchase.
