I have more than 149 accessories in my CBus set up.. I have been avoiding adding past 149, but need to now.. How can you do more?

Hi Paul,

it’s a simple process of running two instances of homebridge or there is a new option of having child processes. Head on over to the homebridge website and the instructions are there. Effectively, with multiple instances you just have two seperate config.json files with your c-bus accessories split across both of them and two homebridge services running that are both paired to your iOS devices. I have used this option successfully for a couple of years now.

Cheers

Jason

Thanks Jason, Any chance you can give me a hint where to find the instructions.. I am useless at anything in the backend, so I have someone doing this for me, so I need to make sure I have everything for them..

Hi Paul,

go here:

https://homebridge.io/

and choose the OS platform that you are installing homebridge on. Once there follow the install instructions and then look at the sections relating to child/multiple instances.

that’s it!
