Ok, I may be overstepping here.
Mod, before you reply, consider looking me up at uspto.gov
Ive got a day job that is a resilient system but for solar so I am openly trying to spur HE or a user to solve the ressiancy issue.
In my home, zigbee, zwave replaced about a third of the copper at the design stage. That means my goal is for HE to be as reliable as wire.
Many on our zigbee devices are 30ft high in the blustrey montanna weather. Over the past 4 years we have had only one failure so the hw is plenty reliable enough, even down to -22.
There are altenative controllers but I like the pholosophy and culture of HE.
It seems what is needed is somthing like continous cloud based migration. Clearly impractical.
What is probably possible is continous H/W based migration.
Use a redundant c8 as a h/w backup device. A host for a realtime, encrypted, command by command backup. Essentially a cloud migration image incrimentally updated where the radio databeses track the primary c8 command by command. Note that the encryped nature of the backup means any 3rd party IP (silicon labs) contained in the image is not exposed to the user.
I inderstand that local backups that include radio databases are a live wire issue here. Please forgive me as a recient poster for touching the wire.
Here is the business opertunity:
I think the firmware that enables a c8 to c8 backup is worth an up charge of $100. That is above and beyond selling at least two c8s to the market that cares about resiliency.
In my case, I would continue with hub protect because I care about layers. A failover backup c8 locally, a remote backup for larger scale events and a warentee for failures.
Community, please chime in.
The reason for hope that this is possible are that cloud migration is possible with its multi step, minuites long process and hub mesh demonstrates realtime hub to hub synchronization.
Respectfully submitted.
