Hello everyone!
Just wanted to share my experience migrating Indigo from an old late 2012 i7 Mac Mini to a base M1 based Mac Mini. I hope someone might find it useful.
I'm running on the same Mini:
(everything under Rosetta2 with the exception of SecuritySpy)
- Indigo Domo the latest.
- iTunes as a media server to share media locally to my AppleTVs inside the house.
- Homebridge in addition to the Homebridge plugin. (This is just because I also use HomeSeer from a windows PC, I don't use the external on Indigo)
- SecuritySpy with 4 HD cameras, two Foscam R2C, 1 Amcrest 4mp and 1 Amcrest 2MP.
- Mosquitto MQTT Broker
HW:
- Insteon using a 2413U
- Z-Wave using an Aeotec Z-Stick 5
The plug ins I use:
- Insteon
- Z-Wave
- Virtual Devices
- Clock Display
- Cynical SecuritySpy
- Foscam HD Controller
- Harmony Hub
- HomeKit Bridge
- Hue Lights
- iCal Alarm Processor
- iTunes
- iTunes Local Control (<-- Here I might need to tweak a couple of things since now I don't have itunes but music)
- MQTT Connector
- MQTT Shims
- Network Devices
- Pushover
- Ring
- SecondsSinceLastChange
- ShellyDirect
- Sonos
- TimedDevices
- Timers and Pesters
- UPS and Battery Monitor
- Virtual Energy Meter.
Here is how it looks at the moment (including Indigo Touch App):
Here is how much resources are in use:
And here how much power is currently using:
The migration was very straight forward, just followed the instructions I found somewhere in this forum pointing to this link: https://wiki.indigodomo.com/doku.php?id ... nother_mac
And had just a couple of glitches with Mosquitto:
- First it didn't worked right out of the gate after the initial "brew install mosquitto", I had to modify the conf file for it to publish the service, otherwise only apps inside the same mac would have access to it.
- I had to reboot the mac a while after the install because it started to randomly disconnect... once rebooted, everything worked great.
I has been running for less than 24 hours, but so far it was easy and it works absolutely perfect and VERY fast and RESPONSIVE... yeah, with all caps... that how fast and responsive it is
Hope this help someone wondering if the upgrade would work and how good or bad it would be.
Just to contrast, my previous old Mac Mini was using an average of 30% CPU @89 Degrees Celsius chewing 25-30 watts running from modern SSD Sata Drives, no HDD inside.
