Question

Hi,
I need some advice on my planned setup. Can someone please help?
I have 2x HC2:
- master with about 55 z-wave devices + 20 satel devices + about 10 other IP devices (Sonos etc) + all Scenes (about 50 + 50 scheduled tasks) and all panels
- slave with about 80 z-wave devices only
I plan to add the following:
- master +20 satel + 10 IP devices + 5 scenes
- slave +95 z-wave devices
Outcome:
- master with about 55 z-wave devices + 40 satel devices + about 20 IP devices + all Scenes (about 55 + 50 scheduled tasks) and all panels
- slave with about 175 z-wave devices
Currently the performance is:
- master runs between 20-30% CPU load; spikes at over 50%
- slave runs between 5-10% CPU load; spikes at around 20%
I don't have much of an option on the extra Satel and IP devices and scenes; given my setup they need to be on the master. In my setup the slave only deals with the z-wave devices now and I also plan for it to only deal with z-wave devices in the future.
The main question is on the additional z-wave devices. As I have stated above, I plan to add the extra 95 to the slave HC2:
a) Do you think this is a good idea? If not, what would you suggest?
b) I very reluctantly ask the question, would you suggest me buying a HCL for some of the additional 95 z-wave devices?
I get I can just add the 95 devices to the slave and see what happens and then buy a HCL later and remove them from the slave and add them to the HCL, but I'd prefer to get it as close to right the first time. I also, don't want to buy more controllers right now given that the HC2 has been out for over 6 years..... I expect an upgrade must be coming in the next few years.
Regards
Aleks
