Please add Multiple Instances into the config :slight_smile:

Multiple instances of what? Home Assistant itself or components/platforms?

Hi @fabaff, Home Assistant itself yes.
As IoT will grow the availability of Multiple Instances is a great option/addition to HA (also with low energy devices in mind).

Have a look at the Multiple Instances docs or the MQTT eventstream component.

GREAT!
What if there is more than 2?

I’m using:
mqtt_eventstream:
publish_topic: MyServerName
subscribe_topic: OtherHaServerName

Not possible at the moment.

So the best option in my case is Multiple Instances.
Where do I need to put the codes? (I’m a beginner…)

import homeassistant.remote as remote
import homeassistant.bootstrap as bootstrap

# Location of the Master API: host, password, port.
# Password and port are optional.
remote_api = remote.API("127.0.0.1", "password", 8124)

# Initialize slave
hass = remote.HomeAssistant(remote_api)

#To add an interface to the slave on localhost:8123
bootstrap.setup_component(hass, 'frontend')

hass.start()
hass.block_till_stopped()

I’ve made a file homeassistant/slave.py after setting things up I’m getting a lot of errors… :frowning:
