Homatics Box 4K Pro - SoC S6 S905X5

Help & Support Hardware
1

I just noticed of 2 new Homatics devices on androidtv-guide.com.

There is an S905X5M-based Homatics Box 4K V2, which isn’t very interesting, but then there is also the long awaited S905X5-based Homatics Box 4K Pro.

Details are still pretty sketchy, but at least according to the site DV/DA are supposed to be supported, so hopefully this is a J/K variant.

There was a YouTube video shared by the Homatics Telegram group admin that indicated the device is indeed S905X5-K. It’s since been taken down. I’d fully expect a flagship Homatics device to have DV support so J/K licensing for sure. The real question in regards to CoreELEC is whether SEI unlock the bootloader.

It has the -K variant in its specifications overview. But what @signde writes, when they have CE usage (b)locked, it will be dearly missed.

I really hope it won’t be locked. While I seldom ever leave CE, the Ugoos UI is absolutely horrible. I much prefer Homatics’ clean ATV.

They’ve now updated the image on www.androidtv-guide.com, as well as added the Homatics Box 4K Plus V3. Fortunately I plan to put it in the closet, because I’m not sure what they thought of with this Commodore-like box.

depending on price can be interesting, but specs are little worse than AM9P, less RAM and less storage, maybe no big deal but depending on price, about Ugoos UI, half agreed, can be solved with installing Projectivy launcher which I’ve done on all Android TV players, or install slimboxtv firmware when it arrives as I run it on AM6B+ to get ATV UI.

The Homatics 4K Pro is spec’ed to have exactly the same RAM (4GB DDR5) and same flash storage (64GB). Even the GPU is the same.

The main differences might be the USB ports (not very interesting for my needs), and possibly a locked bootloader, which would make it a no-go. On the other hand, Homatics’ are certified products.

aha ok I went with your 4K Plus V3 link with S905X5 and ofc the specs is enough for CoreELEC, I wouldn’t pay that much more for 1GB extra RAM and 64GB storage.

They start selling the Homatics Box Pro 4K V2 in Europe now.

Does anyone have made experience with this device?

Does it work with CE 22?

Thx

The BuzzTV G series is almost identical, but using the exact same firmware. That one is locked for CE usage, I expect there will be no difference with the Homatics one.

Thank you.
Then I’ll go for another Homatics Box R Plus 4K. I own one and it’s working fine with CE22.

the Xiaomi box is working too and much cheaper and newer SoC.
