Chromecast (Beta) on a separate hub?

At Bobby's suggestion I have disabled the Chromecast (Beta) app. So far, my hub seems to be running fine (sound of knocking on wood).

I am wondering, would putting the Chromecast (Beta) app on a separate hub be an effective way of avoiding the Chromecast (Beta) "issues" (hub lockups)?

Sure, it would contain any impact to that other hub.

I have a ‘media’ hub, which has chromecast, echo speaks & sonos speakers along with all my ‘speaking’ apps.
That way, if anything goes wrong, it only affects TTS and nothing else.

Works well for me :slight_smile:

Chromecast is on my 'coordinator' hub, along with all my other 'internet needy' Apps: Echo, NOAA, wx-ApiXU-Driver, etc.

It works great like that, so far. Someday I'll pile too much on to that hub, but it's not busy so far. :slight_smile:

I've kept all zigbee/zwave devices and associated in built apps on my main hub and made a 2nd hub have any wifi/cloud devices or custom apps/devices. Seems to be working out well and i'm many weeks without a crash/need to restore from backup.

The sad thing is this issue of hub lockups due to Chromecast is months old. I wonder if this is ever going to be fixed.

I have to say, I must have been really lucky.. this has never been a problem for me.
Not much consolation I know.
