I didn’t write the built-in.. It was here before me

[Stephan.J]

Yep, sorry to say it is your driver. I reverted back to your driver to see if the problem was still there.

I'm glad I'm using Farenheit! I didn't notice a problem with the driver, and I really like using Bryan's because the built-in one doesn't allow auto for my thermostats for some reason. At least it didn't before.

I have multiple sonoff temperature sensors, and just niticed this morning that the sensors report 100% humidity on my dashboard.
When I check the sensor it self in the device invetory, it states the correct % (72% when I checked).
Enyone else having this issue?

I guess my point is you have to think about what would be the consequences of hub failure. And also, don't willy nilly apply an update to a hub that is working.

Couldn’t agree more. Never hurts to remember that this hub and most devices that connect to it are in a market segment that simply isn’t intended for truly mission critical applications. Even settings like healthcare or other high-stakes industries have to account for failure points, but they generally dedicate a lot more time, money, expertise, maintenance etc. that isn’t feasible for most home users.

And since Hubitat doesn’t force firmware updates on us, no reason to hit the upgrade button at the first possible opportunity unless the update addresses a problem one is having.

Don’t forget it’s possible to downgrade and restore a backup if it turns out a firmware upgrade does cause new problems for a particular user’s setup.

Sure, as long as your backup is in phase with the backup (eg. SA 1.1)

Sorry I’m not sure what you mean?

Simple Automation 1.1 is new for 2.2.4. It will not work with 2.2.3. And, it hasn't been treating me that well, but that's an aside.

[marktheknife]

Oh I see, I think.

Yes, if you want to downgrade firmware versions, you’ll also need a backup of the hub database from the prior firmware version.

Since the hub keeps a limited number of backups available on the hub itself, that may require taking manual backups and downloading to a PC.

Just prior to performing a firmware upgrade is usually a good opportunity to do so. There are also ways to automate downloading of hub backups to another device on one’s LAN.

Do you have any recommendations on these?

[marktheknife]

Several threads have discussed in the past, here are some. I can’t speak from personal experience with any method other than using a NodeRed flow (mentioned in the third linked thread below).

Automatic download backups for Hubitat

Edit: updated to a little more proper powershell script with parameters

Curl backup script not working? [SOLVED]

Here's the original.

[SOLVED] Downloading Latest Backup File

I'm using a bash script to download the latest backup of my hubitat database. I am using the following link in my wget command: http://[hubip]/hub/backup?fileName=latest What's happening though is that the hub is creating a new backup and downloading that, rather than the latest backup that is available. Am I using the wrong link or is this the only method available? I can't just download the last file the hub created?
