The above is what happens. So you can have lights till the next day that the integrator will visit and fix the problem. But these processors are really failproof and the realibilty is military grade. They do not really cause service calls. These things run the Whitehouse, NASA, the Bellagio casino and hotel and almost every important and prestigious building in the world. So you can really depend on them.

If you have an installation with 2 processors and the first one fails, the second one can not take the place of the first temporarily. We have still not done a residential (or commercial project) with more than one Homeworks 8 processor. We have just given a proposal with 2 processors for a huge house but we have not received an answer yet. But this house has more than 300 loads and about 90 keypads. Anything else below that (there are various factors to consider not only keypads and loads) can be handled by one Homeworks 8 processor. Actually today (at 08:00!) we have just passed the electricity check for a big (for us project) - about 150 loads. I can post pictures if you want.
