Hi,

I bought a cheap second staterkit. The question is what will happen when:

- I have a second circle+ in my home ? will this be treated as a second network ??
- Can I use the second stick to connect also to my existing circle+ and retrieve the same info to another PC ??

Thanks,

Rien

I thought the answers would be:

- Yes
- No

I was afraid that was the answer...

Rien I have also a starter set for the case when there is any problem with the circle+ or the usb stick. Plugwise will replace the defect devices but I don't want to wait a week or longer for replacement.

So you are telling us that it is not possible to have 2 sticks connected to the same network?

Right....

I have been using Plugwise European plug versions and Stealths - over 30 devices . Now that I have some UK format plugs I wish to replace my EU Circle+ with a UK one. So is there an easy way to swap the Circle+ ie link my new one into the existing network . Do I have to factory reset every Plug and Stealth to do this and I assume this will this lose all my historic data.

Also just as a general thought is it ever possible to re-purpose a spare Circle+ as an ordinary adaptor - ie two Circle+ on a network but only one used as a Circle+. I think from the above post the answer is no

Just for info the answer from Plugwise is no - you must manually reset all your circles / stealths if you replace the Circle+ - which is really laborious ....
( I don't believe there's a software way is there - would be a useful feature)

Also no.. Circle + are only useable as Circle + and only one per network.

Circle + are only useable as Circle + and only one per network.

Just like there can be only one Coordinator per network; so this was not a thought or question, just wishful thinking
