Everyday flow: smart home devices (sensors etc.) ↔ homey pro ↔ sync with cloud But let’s say homey pro crash and I have to give it on warranty and wait 1 month, because of luck devices etc. Whatever reason homey pro is disconnected. New flow: smart home devices (sensors etc.) ↔ cloud * * * Is it possible to make it work right away? What if add homey bridge to the network from the beginning? Will it route traffic to homey pro device and when not available to homey cloud? All in all my goal is to have very reliable network with some kind of sync / mirroring homey pro with homey cloud. Will it be possible? When? The smart home needs to be resistant for device issue. To be clear: I am talking about fully automate solution without re-adding all devices again etc. - I am asking about [Homey Pro - the world’s most advanced smart home hub.](https://homey.app/en-us/homey-pro/) ---

You have to build everything yourself. And If you move a Homey Bridge from Homey Pro to Homey online service you have to add everything Devices AND Flows manual again. > [@kwladyka](#): > > All in all my goal is to have very reliable network > [@kwladyka](#): > > The smart home needs to be resistant for device issue. This isn’t a professional system with redundancy on hardware and/or SLA on service. Take the budget at least 10x the cost of a Homey Pro. If you want a resilient system, with a RPO ~ 1 Day (Default Backup interval) and RTO ~1 hour, buy fe N+1 Homey Pro’s 😉 We call that a Cold spare or Spare in Test and Development environment. (So you know actual the Spare is working 😉 ) ---
