<p>The <strong>Timer</strong> will send every 10 seconds a time_changed event on the event bus.</p>
<p>Take for example the device_tracker component. This component is responsible for keeping track which devices are home. It checks which devices are home every time a time_changed event is fired on the event bus. It will then update the state machine with the information for each device.</p>
<p>This setup allows us to create simple yet powerful logic for controlling your home:</p>

<p>By using the Bus as a central communication hub between components it is easy to replace components or add functionality. If you would want to change the way devices are detected you only have to write a component that updates the device states in the State Machine.</p>
<h2>Multiple connected instances</h2>
<p>Home Assistant supports running multiple synchronzied instances using a master-slave model. Slaves forward all local events fired and states set to the master instance which will then replicate it to each slave.</p>
<p>Because each slave maintains its own ServiceRegistry it is possible to have multiple slaves respond to one service call.</p>

<p>A slave instance can be started with the following code and has the same support for components as a master-instance.</p>
