Multiple Hue hubs

Hi
Is anyone currently running 2 or more Hue hubs with Domoticz? If so, did you have any issues setting it up?

I ask because I currently have a Hue Hub in the house and an Ikea gateway in my outhouse at the end of the garden. The Ikea hub just isn't reliable enough - device disconnects etc. I'm assuming it's the hub and not the devices, so want to replace it with another Hue... I can see it's possible, simply add another Hue Hub device in the hardware section - I just wanted to hear if anyone has a working system like this before I spend on the new hub.

Any input greatly appreciated!

You might consider to an independent zigbee gateway like zigate , deConz and get all Hue and IKEA devices managed via the same plugin

This will also increase the density of zigbee mesh network ( instead of having 2 or even 3 network)

Hi - yeah I did consider that. The outhouse is so far from the main house that the two networks will be independent in any case. I've not tried deConz etc before but I do know that configuring the Hue was trivially easy so thought I'd go that way again - so long as Domoticz is happy running 2 Hubs.

I have 2 HUE's running in Domoticz without any issues and setup was easy. I have added them one by one.

That's excellent - exactly what I needed to know. Thanks pdienaar01 !
