Sonoff iHost vs Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro

Think of it as a local smart home server versus a simple Zigbee bridge: the Sonoff iHost is the stronger hub, winning on connectivity, protocols and integrations with Ethernet, full Bluetooth, a Matter bridge, full third-party device support and Apple HomeKit. Inside it has a 1.5GHz quad-core CPU, 4GB of DDR4 and 8GB of eMMC plus a microSD slot, a speaker and a microphone, and it lists ONVIF, RTSP, Node-RED and Tailscale support. The Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro keeps the lower price, the better owner rating and a 2-year warranty against 1, all in a 35g box. Both coordinate Zigbee over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, handle up to 128 subdevices and work with Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. Power users who want cameras, Node-RED and HomeKit on one local box should choose the iHost; a plain, inexpensive Zigbee gateway is all the Bridge Pro aims to be.
