You can indeed have several emonbases reporting to any one emoncms instance on any server, emonhub will also send your data from any one emonbase to multiple target emoncms servers.
A multi-instance app would be of great interest to many users, for many different reasons.
As a developer I have many emoncms accounts of interest across multiple servers, either test accounts of my own or accounts I have setup/maintain for other users.
I also have clients, and then some of those are also in the business of providing energy saving technologies, LED lighting and efficient heating etc they too need on demand access to multiple accounts for their clients/projects.
There are also other ways the app can be used for example as an end user that has PV they wish to use the MyElectric app to monitor solar and solar_kwh rather than use and use_kwh for a simple way of tracking how much they are earning from the PV as opposed to the MySolar way of presenting data.
When we previously discussed this there were users that showed an interest to monitor specific items eg an electric vehicle or a heated pool etc. The MyElectric and the android apps are power and energy displays that could have many other uses. eg I would like to see my off-peak use separate to my peak use, if it was easily done that is, it’s not important to me but it would be nice there is no reason it cannot be done beyond the app(s) only able to show a single power and energy pair of feeds.
Take a look at the original Android app thread the discussion on multi instance isabout halfway through and mentions side swiping or “carouseling” though mutliple screens/feeds/accounts,
