I need to complain about Homey’s backup service. It’s not what I think of when you think backup. You can’t just restore a single Flow, or something like that, if you make a mistake, you need to wipe/restore the unit “Homey”, wtf. That is not how backups usually work. Oh well… lesson learned. It’s…

I think you miss understand. Well i know how do a backup of a flow by using ALT key to export the flow. But it should be a normal backup to have it like: flows and other stuff separated. in a backup. Not needed to have a app or stuff. Just provide a normal backup service… *** And it is a paid s…

You might want to add your requests/ideas to the dedicated topic: Ideas & Suggestions - Homey Community Forum or reach out to Athom directly via Support | Homey . In the meantime, there are alternatives. Li…

I have no idea how they think, but the backup service paid is **** so to say. Well, like I said.Paid and learned 10€ No good to use, unless to change unit or something when you might need a full backup, then it might be Ok? I will use the export/import using the ALT key of flows and take the unit…

Don’t know much about scripts but @Halfwalker wrote a time ago a script to make a backup of flows and some other parts. https://community.homey.app/t/homey-backup-and-restore-scripts-and-rendering-of-flows/154869

I have to say, that the paid backup has saved me from a lot of pain when my Homey Pro 23 died a while ago. If there was no backup, I wouldn’t have been able to restore my system to the replacement Homey. For 10€ a year, that is great value for the money. Now it would be nice, to have version contr…
