I am wanting to have a 2nd pc with a different HSF and MNS Insteon licenses but programmed to use the same devices. Me thing it through is that I would be able to follow the process below as long as I am running only one system at a time.
1. Purchase second set of HS4 and MNS Insteon licenses to install on 2nd pc.
2. Make sure primary pc is off and then use the same getting started process with the same hub information, password, user, and whatever the ip address pulls up for the 2nd pc for setting up same hub.
3. Would I also need to create a 2nd amazon echo skill account for the items?
4. Install and setup the devices with the same names as the primary has to ensure that when either system is on, the commands are the same to trigger the devices.
5. Purchase the same plugins that the primary has and install on 2nd pc.
This is what I came up with, if I am missing something please please advise. I want to have a backup system on standby waiting just in case my system goes down and when I come home, I don't want to be up all night trying to get it back up. I would simply power down 1st system and turn on 2nd system. It gives me no break in using the system and gives me an opportunity to work on it say on the weekend when I have a little more time. The last time my system went down it took me over 8 hours working on it to get it back up. Thanks in advance.
