Restore lost Better Logic and CountDown configuration [HowTo]

Apps
1

Both Better Logic and CountDown have an configuration page with Variables / Timers you need te configure before the App works.
And wetter you made a mistake and deleted all, removed accidentally the App from Homey and lost all…
If you forgot to make a backup, you are screwed…

If you still have your Flows On homey all configuration can be retrieved.

The script is available here 0.5-recreateBL&CD-BackupFromFlows.js

Instructions
Install HomeyScript on your Homey!
Go to https://homeyscript.athom.com/
(Preferably from a desktop, Chrome works great.)

  • Login
  • Select your Homey
  • Add a new Script (+ left bottom)
  • Give it a name… fe recreateBL&CD-BackupFromFlows.js
  • Open the script from here (plain text) Copy All / Paste in your new created HomeyScript

Uncomment the App you want to restore configuration for (Line ~ 19, 20 )

// App to Check: Choose one, Better Logic (Patrick Sannes) or CountDown (Ralf van Dooren)
// let appName = 'net.i-dev.betterlogic'
let appName = 'nl.bevlogenheid.countdown'
  • Press Save and Run

In the result you get a block with the variables and a second block to restore the variables.
Copy everything from the lines between the second and third line -=-=-=-=-=- …
It should start with [{ and end with }]
