Hi,

I'm looking to move away from Astroberry and am torn between the AstroArch offering or stellarmate. While I don't mind paying for a solution, with 2 scopes running, I begrudge paying twice.

So If I were to purchase Stellarmate OS, could I run this on 2 seperate Pis simultaneously?

Apologies if this has already been answered,, I couldn't find any details through the search or FAQs on the stellarmate website.

You can run StellarMate on multiple RPi's.
However, in my experience, when I logged into each EkosLive with one account for StellarMate on multiple RPi's, the StellarMate mobile app was conflicted.
I want to tie multiple licenses to an account, but there was no way implemented in Ekos to distinguish this.
I will have to check to see if this is still the case.

Interesting, I hadn't considered the potential for conflicts between the 2 instances. I'm using RealVNC at the moment, I assume this would still work in the same way?

As I recall, logging into EkosLive with the same account was a factor in the conflict.
This problem does not affect the use of VNC.

Just to confirm, SM does run fine on 2 separate machines. I had to change the host names to get them to both appear within the app, however I tend to revert back to VNC so doesn't affect me.

Very pleased with the near seamless experience so far.
