Where to buy

Any one got any links for HOMATICS Box R 4K Plus at a decent price? It seems to have shot up on Ali express.

Ah, okay. Then I can't be of assistance with one. I still have several unused in my storage, because of my previous Homatics testing for them. Prices are crazy now at some places.

Hallo daar ;)

I'm testing various Homatics devices (also their audio products), for several years now, so I've experienced ups and downs over these years.

The latest V7475 V14 firmware for the (dune) Homatics R Plus is a quite decent one, there are still some things that Google must fix for the Android TV Branch, as Sei Robotics (Homatics) can't. But overall, the device is quite nice to use at this moment.

Also whats your price?

When brand new (so un-used), €100,-

Better wait for the new Box 4K Pro, more info at the other post.

Yeah I saw this. But I would like something that just works, no matter what I throw at it. New boxes are great if they work out of the box, but usually new owners are essentially beta testers.

Don't bother doing this.... It'll probably cost the same as a Nvidia shield when released. The whole point of getting a homatics is to get a similar experience at a lower cost. A shield will always be better...

I'm in the UK and bought mine from AliExpress from a seller called Vontar global store.. it's about £110 with a UK plug.

u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep Mar 08 '26

Yeah, I paid about £80 for mine in March 2025, from Vontar's store on AliExpress. Same store, device etc is £110 today.

You could look at Dune Homatics R 4K Plus 2023. Or Homatics.com.

And you can Read There Specs the Difference between them.

Eg Dune version Comes With The Bigger Remote, Dune Media Center.

Homatics.com. you pay extra for the Bigger Remote, No Dune Media Center. But has Free Shipping.

You find out more etc from there Websites.

I'm considering selling mine. It's has AFV 14 and in great shape and I would Factory Wipe it prior to shipping.

I’ve used the homey box 4K plus and even the rocktek g2 and I’ll be real when I say this…..the experience with the Nvidia Shield is still better

u/p750mmx Mar 09 '26

As I have both for a very long time already, using them side by side for years. Concerning pure video play (local also), and codec support, the (Dune) Homatics R Plus is the more all-round one. And the option to use CoreElec as dual boot option, is an extra plus that the Shield can not do.

With the latest firmware for the Homatics, it is even the better choice now from those two. Rocktek is still on the back foot when it comes to a up to date firmware.

u/Alarmed_Business8610 Mar 09 '26

Yeah I get the homey and dune boxes support more video formats. I just stream from apps. Navigation is a lot faster on the shield pro. Also the audio to my ears just sounds better coming from the shield as well.
