Post by: sebastijan on December 04, 2015, 09:10:28 AM

I want to have more hg boxes in a house on each floor one but to be able to control everything with one main hg box. Can somebody explain the entire process of connect hg boxes If someone can make a complete tutorial. Thanks

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