The project The main idea of this project is to get a fully working home assistant test environment on a cheap TV box. Well, it's easier to do with a raspberry pi but I've an unused TVbox. The Hardware This box is a cheap (I think that I paid over 25€, perhaps less). It's based in quad core Amlogic S805 with 1GB of RAM, 100Mbps ethernet and wifi but only on 2,4GHz band. It also has a 8GB internal storage but I'm using a 32 GB microSD The software OS installation I've installed an armbian version for S805 build by user balbes150 at freaktab forum. You can download the image files from: https://yadi.sk/d/DnCkh3KBvAFES/Linux/Armbian I suggest Ubuntu bionic server: Armbian_5.44_S805_Ubuntu_bionic_3.10.108_server_20180521.img.xz because it has newer software versions of all packages than debian etch. For example, it has installed python 3.6 instead of python 3.5 that is in debian etch and for install home assistant in a python virtualenv you&#
