Secondary remote conection as backup

[Dim (Angelos)]

I would like to automate switching external connection config when cloud service will be down.

Aha! you want an additional feature to be implemented in the mobile app to automatically switch over to the secondary remote server whenever myopenhab.org is down… ok…

You can open up a issue and specify that this is a feature request on github: Issues · openhab/openhab-android · GitHub (if using the android version)

imho: You want too much and this can be easily achieved by manually modifying the remote server parameters… but you never know… maybe the developers can implement your request… go ahead and post that issue, or even better: a PR proposing the changes.

Remember also that the mobile app developers just pushed a new version of the app and they are dealing with an increased workload to iron out the bugs…

I prefer myopenhab option and to contribute to support it.

Ready to join the openHAB Foundation?

All, it is almost a year ago that I suggested to create a charity organisation around openHAB. Although the legal entity has been founded in May already, it took us a while to get everything up and running (official register entry, charity status at the financial authorities in Germany, bank accounts, website, membership application forms, etc. - this all is much more work than one would imagine…). The good news is: The Foundation is now operational and I would be delighted to welcome many of …

I think that you will agree with me that it’s better to support the myopenhab.org platform to become more robust than to create workarounds if it fails.
