Folks - I'm looking for a good way to have redundant ZNet strategy on the same ZWave network. Friday, I was updating my wireless router (KRACK) when I noticed I had two ZNet devices attached to the same IP address. I logged into the ZNet to see what was going on. It appeared okay and then rebooted the Znet. Unfortunately, in the reboot I toasted the SD card and subsequently the whole ZWave network was down.
HS has a new SD card coming but being an IT guy, I like to have redundancy and don't like single point of failures. This forum has some very talented folks (Rprade, Pete, Zwolfpack -- thank you) who talk about backups and differences of the GPIO settings versus the SD card.
I'd like to add a second ZNet as a hot spare if possible.
Also, when using the Rprade backups using the USB SD card stick Zwolfpack talks about, does this include the GPIO ZWave networking information?
The hot spare idea is if I'm not home, I can still fix the ZWave and have all of my events run. If I'm home I could just unplug the SD card from the USB stick and plug into a spare ZNet.
I'm certainly open to other suggestions to prevent a single point of failure in the future. In the mean time I'm waiting on the SD card replacement from HS.
Thanks -- and thanks to you ZNet experts out there! I'll be learning Perl and SSH next apparently
