The controller is designed to solve home automation and monitoring tasks: polling sensors, collecting and transmitting data, PLC functions in smart home systems. The powerful JetHome JetHub H1 quad-core processor will allow it to be used as a central controller in smart home systems in conjunction with various Wi-Fi and ZigBee wireless sensors from other manufacturers. The controller case is made in a laconic modern design that will fit into any interior.
The controller is powered from a stabilized DC source +5V via the MicroUSB connector. Power consumption is not more than 5W (excluding external consumers connected to USB ports).
When powering the controller from the computer's USB port, it must be taken into account that the standard USB 2.0 interface can limit the output current to 0.5A, which may not be enough for the controller to work normally under load.
To power the controller, it is recommended to use the power supply supplied with the controller. When powering the controller from a computer or from another device with a USB interface, as well as when using a third-party power supply, make sure that this device or power supply is capable of providing the necessary output power: up to 5W if no additional devices will be connected to the controller or up to 10W if via USB -ports of the controller will connect additional devices powered by the USB port.
Armbiam operating system with the ability to install a large number of additional packages from the Ubuntu 20.04 repository, as well as other third-party applications. It is possible to install such popular systems for home automation as Home Assistant, openHAB, etc.
The latest version of the JetHome Armbian firmware can be downloaded at http://update.jethome.ru/armbian/ (see p. “Controller firmware”) <color #ed1c24>For the H1 controller, the Armbian firmware version with the suffix “j80” is required</ color>
Images of the Home Assistant Operating System (HassOS) operating system are also available for the controller: http://wiki.jethome.ru/hassos
The controller is not designed to perform high-load tasks in 24/7 mode, such as video processing.
The figure shows:
The controller has two external USB 2.0 ports (USB1 and USB2. see “General view of the controller board”) for connecting additional peripheral devices. When powering an external device from the USB port of the controller, the current consumed by this external device must not exceed 0.5A.
The USB1 port (located closer to the power connector) is also used for controller firmware (see “Controller firmware”).
The console is brought to the Micro-USB connector (also used to power the controller) through the USB-UA interface converter installed on the board
