Let me guess: Homey SHS release? I see a NAS, and on the bottom you can clearly see the Raspberry Pi (you see its GPIO pins and ports) ---

They didn’t update their DNS records ([raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) and [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net)) yet. They are still the GitHub redirect sites. ---

I’m wondering what the changelog ([https://ota-api.homeypro.net/api/v1/changelog?channel=stable](https://ota-api.homeypro.net/api/v1/changelog?channel=stable) for the Pro 2023) would look like for the SHS. But they didn’t update the DNS yet. I also tried to send my own request to a Homey server IP address with the “Host“ header set to [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net), but unfortunately that didn’t work ---

Self hosted storage/backup? Homey backup? Store webcam streams (security system?) ---

The storage is self-hosted, because it’s running on your hardware. I don’t know if the Homey Cloud Backups subscription is supported. I also don’t think that storing webcam streams is available, since I couldn’t find any references to it in the web app. ---

Actually ordered one a few days ago … and well I wonder what this is gonna be. SO I am holding of my tinkering until after the announcement. But as Sven kinda noted this will be subscription based most likely and that is what I liked about Homey Pro … the one-off type of deal. Subscriptions are not always my favorite type of situation. But as a subscription It has to be very very good of a deal to take mw off the selfupgrade route.I did see a “transfer-lifetime-license"“ in Svens post. So who knows. Fingers crossed 🙂 ---

There is also a lifetime subscription, according to the web app code. Indeed, this is based on the transfer lifetime license feature. I’m waiting for the DNS records to get updated ([raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) and [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net)), since those might contain the biggest pieces of evidence how this system will all work. But currently, they’re not on an actual server yet. I’m refreshing the DNS lookup often, but it isn’t updated yet. ---

Still no DNS updates, I wonder if they’re using another domain for testing. It’s not homeyshs.dev at least. I also did a subdomain scan on both homey.dev, athom.dev, [athom.com](http://athom.com) and homey.app, but didn’t find anything related to the SHS ---

Guess you’ll have to wait until the announcement tomorrow, can imagine they just added the newer records to their internal DNS servers so it wouldn’t be publicly available until they decide it’s ready to be publicly available. ---

AFAIK Homey uses the same set of IPs for all of their cloud services. I just checked a few of them with a spoofed “Host“ header but that doesn’t work ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/e/1e2d884c526627fe49fabc60f305beae0638295e.png) ---

Just checked, ota-api.homeyshs.dev as Host header also doesn’t work. ---

I also ordered a CM4108032 a couple of days ago to upgrade my 2023 Pro model. While I am very interested in a self hosted Homey SHS option, I would still be upgrading Homey, because the RAM on my NAS is too valuable to dedicate to this. I guess this could be very interesting for tech savvy users who already have suitable hardware, want to use specific antennas instead of those provided with the Athom hardware, or are looking for a lower cost first step without buying a Homey upfront. ---

I just wrote a scanner that scans all the domains from the [domain list](https://community.homey.app/t/list-all-domains-associated-with-homey/146822) for DNS records and then GET’s all IPs for the 2 spoofed Host headers, unfortunately it didn’t get any 200’s back (both [raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) and [ota-api.homeyshs.net/api/v1/changelog?channel=stable](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net/api/v1/changelog?channel=stable)). Except for the GitHub IPs, but those don’t contain any useful info unfortunately. I have the feeling that it must be somewhere, but I think that’s on a local IP or server then. ---

When debugging the web app ([https://my.homey.app](https://my.homey.app)), I notice that the wifi settings, led ring settings, and the auto updates are missing when `api.homey.model === ‘shs’`. The combination of network settings instead of wifi settings and no updates, makes me think they will release a Docker container.
