I think this might have been covered searched and didn't find the thread I thought was around this, so asking again.
I have 3 controllers x2 EA5's and x1 HC800 in my main house setup. When the main controller (EA5 running as the coordinator) goes down for whatever reason, the house becomes useless. Looking at my good old technical days we use to have HA and DR It is most probably something wrong with my config, is there a way to make the system more resilient. So when the main EA5 goes down the second EA5 kicks in so the house can still work?
What do I mean by work:
When the main EA5 is down:
The keypad button's don't function
The T3's all go spastic and don't function
Etc.
Would appreciate the advise. Maybe one note, the main EA5 is in my server room which is a walk in vault with a thick steel door. The other EA5 is two stories up and about two thick concrete slabs up. I put the second EA5 there as for some reason the zigbee connectivity wasn't great even tough there are plenty of switches (lights etc) from the server room all the way around the house (did this to make sure the mesh was well covered).
To me this all seems like a config issue on my part but don't know where to start looking and where to try and fix it. Would appreciate the guidance.
