    Controlling more than one RadioRA systems?

    I am a registered user of the wonderful RadioRA plug-in.

    Is there any way that the plug-in can control more than one
    Radio RA systems? (Besides running two instance of homeseer -
    either via parallels, or on two physically different computer)

    I know that it could be done with the chronos bridge, however, it
    seems that whole house scenes, rooms, would take a long time
    because Chronos sends command to one Radio RA system first, wait for
    that to complete, then sends command to the second system.
    I've heard of wait of minutes for a scene to complete.

    With two RadioRA systems controlled with homeseer and two
    RadioRA RS232 controller, I could send commands to both systems pretty much simultaneously.

    If it's not available currently, could I submit a dream/wish for such
    a feature.

    Starting new with homeworks is not a really good option as I have
    one Radio RA system already maxed out and installed for sometime
    now. Replacing switches / mc / dimmers for 32 zones is a waste
    as the current system works perfectly fine.

    Thank you.

    Thai,
    One possible means to do this is if you were using MainLobby Server and the MLHSPlugin and added Cinemar's MLRadioRA plugin, you could have one RS232 controlled via Homeseer, and the other RS232 controlled via MainLobby 3 Server. There would be some ochestration to keep your Homeseer devices always updated, but I believe it to be very possible.

    You also get the "side benefit" of MainLobby user interface and other support

      Renaming the module

      Is it possible for the powers that be (the author) to recompile
      the module with a different name: i.e. RadioRA2 - and possibly
      add on a "_2" on the variables to prevent name space collisions (if
      needed?)
      Then it would just be another interface.

        No way HS says

        I have asked the same question the folks at HomeSeer and the answer was NO. The RadioRA plug-in can not control 2 RadioRA systems.

        The bad news do not end here.

        The HomeSeer plug-in will not support two systems ( 32 + 32 = 64 zones ) Even if you invest in Chronos to bridge 2 RadioRA systems.

        See my posting in this forum requesting this feature.
