Two ISY Operation

ISY versions 4.3.26 & 5.0.4 -- Conventional wisdom says only one ISY should control any given device. Can the other ISY, however, successfully monitor such a "shared" device (e.g., checking on/off status)? Is there any danger of links getting confused?

 

Thanks in advance,

Adding deviceA to ISY 1 and deviceB to ISY 2 is fine.   I run multiple ISYs with that arrangement.

 

The issue is adding deviceA to ISY 1 and ISY 2.   There  is no 'monitor only' mode in Insteon.   Both ISYs will consider the device as owned.  Things like ISY 1 having links in deviceA to the ISY 2 PLM is the first challenge.   I have not tried that configuration but keeping accurate backups of both ISYs that are in sync will be difficult.   I don't think the configuration is practical even if possible.

I hadn't thought specifically about backup, but restore device could be a problem. Don't think I'll try it. Thanks.
