Optimizing Zigbee Device Management in HE Hub

Hi all, I’m super excited to share my journey with my second HE Hub! :rocket: I’ve been exploring ways to efficiently manage my growing collection of Zigbee devices. Currently, I have 47 devices connected to my first hub, which I understand has a limit of 32. I’m curious about the best approach to segregate these devices—maybe essentials on one hub and non-essentials on another? I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether the master hub can utilize devices from a slave hub for rules.

I also stumbled upon the Hue Bridge integration but found it limited to HE’s specific bulbs. I tried CocoHue drivers, but they didn’t work as hoped. Any tips on freeing up slots on my master hub would be amazing! :blush:

Looking ahead, I plan to add a third hub as a hot-swap backup. I’m wondering if the backup file from ‘Backup and Restore’ includes all rules. If not, how can I ensure a smooth disaster recovery?

Thanks for your insights and suggestions! :pray: Let’s keep the smart home magic flowing! :sparkles:
