That’s a shame as I lost access to the data when Plugwise pulled the server. However I understand the Circles store around 2-3 years of data. It’s a real pity I can’t get access to this data for backup. There’s no way to access the data through the Stretch, as far as I know, as all data was stored on the Plugwise server until it was pulled.

If anyone else knows a way to backup the historic data stored on the Circles please advise as this would be extremely useful.

Just in case you are wondering, I will definitely upgrade this app to be compatible with SDK3 and the new Homey Pro.  
I have many circles that I use myself. They are the core of my own home automation.

New version 4.0.1 is ready for testing: [Plugwise2py App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.gruijter.plugwise2py/test)

- Rewrite to SDK3.
- Migrate to compose.
- Multiple small improvements.
- MQTT upgrade v4.3.7

This will ensure the compatibility with future Homey versions.

After 2 weeks i can’t get it working. I filled in my circle mas adresses , let it run for a few hours, i don’t see circles in the web page.

I’d like to do a final attempt to add my plugwise circles into Homey pro 2023 via the pw2py app and a raspberry PI with plugwise dongle.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2  
Operating system 20231012~bullseye (64 bit)

I followed all instructions to set up the pw2py on raspberry , including the config files. No errors reported.

I set the parameters in the app on Homey (IP, mqtt port 1883). Testing MQTT connection gives positive result.

Issues:  
the link to browser seems to work, but circles are not available (empty screen). An error occurs: niet beveiligd.

The app on homey gives an error in the logfiler: [ERROR: Url error: [Errno 111] connection refused.

Do you have any suggestions to fix this?  
Coffee or beer can be arranged 🙂

Is that caused by an encryption setting maybe? Look at your TLS configuration.

crashing again short after restarting app

SOLVED, resetting the Pi solved the crashing.

Used it for a long time without problems but did some stupid things so I have to re-install the raspberry-pi. Doing so, I encounter problems, first with 32bit OS getting the message that OS64 is expected, then with OS64, when docker is installed, the next is shown:

```auto

Docker daemon in rootless mode for your user:

    dockerd-rootless-setuptool.sh install

Visit https://docs.docker.com/go/rootless/ to learn about rootless mode.

To run the Docker daemon as a fully privileged service, but granting non-root
users access, refer to https://docs.docker.com/go/daemon-access/

WARNING: Access to the remote API on a privileged Docker daemon is equivalent
         to root access on the host. Refer to the 'Docker daemon attack surface'

================================================================================

-bash: Executing: command not found
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

```

Is this alarming? Ignoring this,  
After the install is finished and Docker is restarted, the Circles data is collected, so far so good, but after that, nothing happens, all my Circles can be seen via the webbrowser but the Circles cannot be switched via the webbrowser.  
@Gruijter Please advise what to do.

Better use the full rpi image I created. The docker image itself doesnt seem to be working anymore 😬

The full rpi image is also using OS32, same expecting OS64.

Yes, but is is a os32 version that works with the embedded docker image.
