    • Since we didn't find any screws we expected them to be under the soft foot pads.

    • We easily removed them with a utility knife

    • Now we can see 4 screws and 2 openings to the PCB.

    • I wondered what they could be but my guess is that they're used to test the PCB.

    • The case opens up easily when using a utility knife around the sides

    • This is a cover paper to make sure the status LED doesn't shine in the rest of the casing but just to the front

    • Inside the top case we find a load to give the product a little more weight

    • As you can see the top case is made a little thinner on the places where an IR led is present

    • PCB was manufactured by a Chinese company called FCF

    • There are 6 IR leds spread over the PCB

    • CC2544 SoC 2.4-GHz RF Transceiver and antenna

    • CSR8811 bluetooth chip and antenna

    • WiFi antenna from the AR9331 on the other side of the pcb

    • MX25L12835F 128Mbits serial Flash memory

    • EM6AB160TSE-5G 512 Mbits SDRAM

    • AR9331 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n SoC for AP and Router Platforms

    • Micro USB (data and power) - Can be used to extend this hub with a Harmony Home Hub Extender

    • Reset/Pair button

    • 2x IR mini blaster ports (2.5mm)

    Near the J6 area it appears that there’s a connector for a WiFi antenna. Can anyone confirm the role of this connector and its type?

    I’m interested in potentially putting one of these hubs in an enclosure in support of an outdoor enclosure and would like to add an external WiFi antenna.

Thanks for doing this!

Haluska -

Thanks for sharing this! I think I see an antenna port on that board, too. Interesting …

Now I’m wondering if I should take my chances and try to fix the loose micro usb port or just live with it.

Haluska -

Extremely helpful, thank you. But I also want to know the location of IR input which is used to learning IR commands from original remotes.
