I’ve been playing with various active/active and active/passive installations to design a highly-available, home automation (HAHA??) system for our next home.
It would be nice if there was a way to have a single license (subscription?) assigned to both an active and backup installation, with the understanding/restriction that only one instance could be active serving requests, processing rules at one time. I realize this could be accomplished now by manually removing the subscription assignment from server A and re-assigning to server B, but that’s no fun. An automated way of that happening when A dies and B takes over (or vice versa) would kick ass, at least to me.
Limited runtime of the backup, or more phone-home connections to ensure that there is only one active connection would be required I suppose (and fine with me). In the end this could be something that only I have an interest in so may not be worth your effort.
Indigo software still represents the smallest investment in HA at my house, so if you guys don’t come up with a way to have a 2nd backup/mostly-inactive installation, then it’s on me to buy a 2nd subscription; which -while not desirable- is still a pretty cheap investment in comparison to my total HA footprint. I do have 2 Mac Minis already for this experiment so.... Maybe backup installs will be more of a necessity when Jay releases IndigoPi!
I really just wish you guys would quit putzing around with the licensing and clearly temporary z-wave-fad nonsense and get those Indigo Touch feature requests knocked out (so I can submit about 39 more)!!
