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?

    Correct assumption yeah, the product is unfortunately not very widespread, so there isn’t much about it, let alone about jailbreaking it.

    Physically opening and checking it sounds indeed like the next step, I was hoping to get a more definite answer from someone who was there before, but i guess that will have to be me.
