switch from beta to stable possible?

[ropske]

Hi,
i'm wondering if it is stable to switch from beta version to stable version without much trouble?
I'm now running V4.11503 (beta) and it has OZW1.6 but i have a lot of zwave devices not sending their data anymore.
For example: Fibaro Smoke Sensor2 is not sending its temperature anymore automatically (it is sending when waking up devices by pressing 3x B-button)
smoke signal itself is working automatically

My Fibaro roller shutters3 are not sending their position in % anymore . Just closed/open status now. (before it worked fine)

Fibaro Dimmers2 are sending signal that a light is on at x level, but the light is NOT on (if i check the OZW panel, there the status is also OFF)

So i want to have a nice, working environment again.
I know its a beta version, but before the beta version were working just fine, latest beta versions i find its not good.

I don't want to blame the developers, i'm self a programmer and i know how much work/time it takes to solve new problems.

But right now, i want a working product without resetting everything again and starting from scratch.

Thanks!

Short answer is No.

A bit longer answer (but also No)
in general terms it would be possible to do this if between latest stable and your beta no database version changes were implemented.
Current latest stable- and recent beta's database versions do differ (recent beta = 137, latest stable = 134)

So, when i want to switch to stable again, i need to begin from scratch again?

If i knew all my problems would be solved, i really want to begin from scratch again

If you have a backup of a database with DB_Version =< 134, you can start again from there with the latest stable.
use

Code: Select all

sqlite> select nvalue from preferences where key = 'DB_Version';

to check the DB_Version of you backup.
