first of all i love domticz and feel quite comfortable with most of the stuff. My main computer is based on Linux Mint not Windows if it helps.
I have one working installation on a Raspi based on Stretch.
Version: 4.10717 Build Hash: b38b49e5
Pretty old and not updated since a while.
I have also another test version based on Raspian Buster, Version 2020.1
Build Hash: 63fa969e4 Compile Date: 2020-03-22 15:16:16 dzVents Version: 3.0.1
Now I have saved the config.file from the version 4.10717 and copied it into the version 2020.1.
Now Domoticz starts and from a first glimpse, devices and dzvents files etc. seem to work. at least they appear in domoticz.(if they really work I cannot test)
zWave does not work of course.
I would now:
- update this (test) Domoticz to the latest stable and then
put the SD card of my (test) Domoticz into the productive Rasperry (where the productive domoticz runs)
I mean swap of Raspberíes should work, but will Z wave work? As far as I remember the Z Wave config file will be rebuild.
I have also a couple of python and LUA scripts which I would simple copy to the new installation.
Will this work? Otherwise what do I have to do to minimize the efforts and especially not to lose a lot of configuration files?
Many thanks for some heads up and best practice.
