Domoticz

The latest update to Domoticz broke my system (old PI) and forced me to reconsider how I am implementing my system.
I've decided to retire my Pi and at the moment, i've installed the Windows version on an always-on windows server I am using for my cam system.
For years I've just about got by with covering the entire house by putting my RFXCOM in a strategic location. Now, this is impossible to do as my server is in the basement and I cannot move it.

Option 1 : Buy a new PI and keep in the old location - but this will not improve on what was barely acceptable in the first place.
Option 2 : Get a LAN RFXCOM and have two RFXCOM's working on the same devices.

The cost of an RFXCOM and a new PI is roughly the same, so it's got to be one or the other.

I'd like to explore option 2 but I'm wondering if, firstly, would the two work together, and secondly, if there is anything special i would need to configure in my Domoticz instance other than add the new H/W as an RFXCOM LAN ?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

No problem to have the serial and LAN RFXCOM on your Domoticz system.
If required you can move the Somfy RTS devices from the RFXtrx-USB to the RFX433-LAN, see the RFXtrx User Guide.

Thanks for your reply.

so for SOMFY, I guess it's got to be on one or the other - and that would be because the devices are added manually. However if I am to add a new device using the discover function will that be bound to whichever RFXCOM device detects it first, or will a single device work on both RFXCOM devices?

You can also add new RFY devices in the other RFX433.
Important use another ID and pair this as an additional remote on the Somfy motor.
