2 Tablets, 1 connect? Is this impossible? (alien.top)

Hello -

I've had my Remarkable 2 for a year or two now. Use it daily.

I would like to have a 2nd Remarkable just to leave on my desk at the office and have both of them share teh same connect account. I tried this a while back and remember it was not possible then so I sold my 2nd tablet.

Have there been any updates to this? Is there a workaround? I don't mind even paying for 2 subscriptions as long as they share teh same data.

Any suggestions welcome.

TIA!

Voilà!

XOCHITL SYNC

It's in the tablet's filesystem, which you can access via SSH. The idea is to download the file from the first tablet, upload it to the second tablet, and restart the xochitl process on the second tablet so it starts using the settings from the config file you just uploaded.

It's pretty simple, pull up Terminal.app and ...

Plug in tablet A

scp [email protected]:/home/root/.config/remarkable/xochitl.conf .

Plug in tablet B

scp xochitl.conf 10.11.99.1:/home/root/.config/remarkable/

ssh [email protected] systemctl restart xochitl.service

Unless you've set up an SSH key, you'll need the passwords for both tablets. This page explains where to find it in the Settings screens. Note that the tablets will have different passwords.

Yes, it's perfectly mirrored both ways. Totally cool, I do it to keep in sync with the device at work and at home.
