I have a second instance of Home Assistant named sandbox. I planned to use it to test upgrades before moving to my main system. But when Sandbox comes online, it discovers dozens of devices- but the worse is when automations fight with each other. (For example one wants to turn a light on and the other wants to turn the light off). So, how do others with test systems run both at the same time?
Hello Stephen Mann (YAML-challenged),
Use 2 computers or 2 virtual machines.
At the same time, or do you disconnect one while testing on the other? My main system is HAOS on an Intel NUC i3, and sandbox is on a Raspberry Pi3. But when the Sandbox discovers dozens of devices, I ignore them.
