My setup   http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=705.0

For each of the slave HG boxes you have to set some parameters in: Config/Programs/Interconnection.
 You need to enable: Meter.Watts, Sensor.* and Status.Level events forwarding. For each of these programs you have to enter the IP address of the master HG box in the configuration.
Each sensor/device/light/switch attached to the slave HG box will now become available to the master HG box

You create al your controls/dashboards on the master HG box

To add that you need to raise events on the remote box before they appear too, which took me a little while to work out..

Works well..

I also try and disable any programs that I don't need on each box.. Maybe a bug bear of mine that stuff is enabled by default.. but me being picky!
