I know there is a backup option (paid), but I’m not looking for a backup… I would like to extract all of my flows into a CSV for easy parsing (and reference) Is there any way to do this? ---

For Standard flows: It should (still) be possible using [https://homeybackup.web.app/login](https://homeybackup.web.app/login) The backup still works afaik (restore probably not; but you weren’t interested in restoring) You’ll find a JSON file with all flows in it ![Screenshot_20220701-145500_Total Commander](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/1/819395744247e3bfa45dd8fdac8381a670714a76.jpeg) JSON snippet: ![Screenshot_20220701-144905_Total Commander_copy_418x94~01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/8/a8098ec2ff70b27cc827d6bf2034364b7560f1f2.jpeg) _Not tested with Advanced Flows_ ---

I use [flowviewer](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-view-your-homey-v2-flows-in-a-browser/7427) and then use the print option of the browser. Not csv, but it is a readble printout of your flows ---
