Replace/Backup compute module

[Valentin_Ciopei]

Hello,

I am wondering if the current compute module in my Homey device can be replaced with a larger one.
Is it possible to create a backup and replace the module in case it fails?

Currently, my Homey is operating at 66.2°C, and I am concerned that the module might fail at some point.

Thank you.

Many people already have done it.
