Hi Mario and all,
Regarding the HA features of Argus, as far as I know, right now it is not possible to configure two argus endpoints in the site-info file for CREAMs (variable ARGUS_PEPD_ENDPOINTS). There is an open GGUS ticket regarding this issue: https://ggus.eu/tech/ticket_show.php?ticket=74336
Luckily, this seems to be a work in progress and sooner or later Argus will not be a single-point failure for CREAMs.
Cheers,
Miguel
