Manufacture and sell Home Assistant Yellow Devices

Can I use the Home Assistant Yellow open source hardware details shared on Github to manufacture and sell it in market (online/offline)? Do I need to pay any royalty OR follow any instructions? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Yellow is based on a RPi which uses more then 10 year old lithography (22nm) and is well known to have a high idle consumption of 3-4 watts.

If you want to really manufacture hardware in 2023/2024 please don’t use such stone aged designs but go with something a little fresher in terms of being much more efficient.

Check out the home assistant green and specially the RK3566 that it is build around! (talking about 1 watt idle with ethernet connected!)

Thanks Tom!

By any way is Home Assistant Green hardware (Home Assistant Green - Home Assistant) is also open source and can be manufactured to sell in market as per CERN-OHL-S V2 license?

Makes Sense. Thanks for the inputs.

I don’t think so. I can’t find any hardware files on github.
