Manual Backup option missing in Testflight App

The option to perform a manual backup is missing.
I wanted to migrate to my new homey, but would like to perform a manual backup first.
My Homey Pro Backup subscription is okay.

Log on as Owner and use the Mobile App.

I am the owner and using the mobile (test flight) app.

Justto be sure,have you checked your subscription, right

Revert to the normal App.

Thx!

So confirmed, the “Test flight” version does not contain the Manual Backup option.

Don’t know which TestFlight version and which Homey firmware you’re using, but I’m able to create manual backups:


(Translation of the blue button: Create backup)

Homey Smartphone App (iPadOS/iOS): 7.1.0.1208 (TestFlight)
Homey Firmware (HP23): 10.0.0-rc.118
Apple Devices Firmware: iOS/iPadOS 16.5.1

Don’t know if I’m using “test flight” but I can’t back up manually either. While I have Homey Firmware (HP23): 10.0.0-rc.118

You can check the Homey Smartphone App Version as follows:
More → Settings → General → App Version

thank you, my app version is 7.2.0.1217.
I would like to place backups on my NAS.
But only get the options below in the app.

That is not an option for online/ in the App Backup’s,

  • Online Backups are on Subscription in the Athom Cloud (for all Homey Pro’s Early 2016 up to 2023)
  • USB Backup’s can be made here offline for Homey Pro (Early 2023) only

Thank you for the tip which lead me to the manual for making a offline backup.

What do I lose with reverting on a Homey Pro 2023 that’s already set up? Besides dark theme?

I don’t understand your question,
The Dark theme is part of the Mobile App and WebApp. that will not change with a Restore.

So a Restore of an backup always brings you back in time to the point of the Backup.
Losing all changes (and Insights) since your Backup.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Maybe I misunderstood. I started using the Test Flight app to be able to set up my HP2023, but if there’s benefits to now going back to the non-test app. So I was curious what I’d lose by going from the beta app to the old.
