There is an APP (myIO)… If I have one myIO server (IP address, port, username, and password) it working well… But what if I have two, or more myIO server? There is a way to use more instance of the app, with different parameters or what is the way to solve this problem? ---

You can’t have two instances of an app running, so the only way is if the app is written to connect to multiple servers. ---

If you have the source code, you could change the app id. Then if you install the app via cli you have a second app instance. But what Adrian said is better imo.
