Nowadays it is possible to connect Homey Pro 2023 using SSH with the Experimental SSH Sandbox function. I am wondering if it is possible to activate this function, contact the HP23 over SSH and make easy and without USB cables a easy backup to my NAS or whatever location I want to place the backup? Anybody already experienced with SSH and find out wat is possible and how things work? I am curious and wondering, because I do not appriciate the USB backup function and the cloud function I appriciate either not as well. ---

No. With the SSH experiment you’re not ssh’ing into your HP2023 directly but in an isolated environment (a Docker container) that has (very) limited access to the rest of your Homey. ---

Thanks for your reply. I will ask if they could add this functionality, should be more up to 2025……
