Insteon, Redundancy

[Dave Fleck]

I love my Hubitat. I had two different Veras. My Aeon HEM never worked and I had a light switch that would suddenly and permanently drop off-line. It did take some work (find drivers and modify them) to get the HEM working like I wanted with the Hubitat, and the same with an older Train thermostat. But once that was done the Hubitat has been rock solid.

(Anyone want a pile of Insteon wall switches?) Sort of sad to see Vera support go away; my experience with them was good.

The target machine was having weird issues: spontaneous reboots and disappearing directories being the most frequent. This was some time ago, before the latest OS releases with the new HDD structure. As I said, I don’t recall the details. Installing a fresh OS on the backup Mini and then copying just the Xtension stuff resolved the issue. It may very well have been something I did wrong, but I will be installing the OS on both machines and then adding Xtension and other HA stuff on a clean install.
