Hello everyone,
after a terminal crash of my SD card ,where my Domoticz was Im having a lot of troubles trying to run my home automation back on track.
As I have (near) zero knowledge in programing everything is a huge pain for me :-( Actually installing Domoticz and make everything work at home ,was entirely via this forum.
So long story short : I only have a card clone from 2017 (that works) and domoticz backup from the end of last year.
I have manage to make clean install and recover the db, but non of my devices work at the moment :-(
Have read as much as I can , but as for now (again with my knowledge) Im nowhere ....
I will highly appreciate any help!
Best!
Nikolay

Does this mean you never updated your system?

If you did, you should have backups in your domoticz/backup folder
"non of my devices work at the moment"
This is a very cryptic sentence that we can not work with... what kind of devices?
Do you use RF hardware? Did you assign the right USB ports?

Hi,
I have updated domoticz every time when there is a stable version.
As the SD card crashed there is no access to any file , so domoticz backup is not an option .
Excuse my way of presenting things, but as I said Im really at ground zero …
I do have way too many devices (mostly wifi switches) ,where in some cases some automations are critical for my house (as drainage pumps, ventilation ,etc.).
What Ive meant with no device is working is,that domoticz doesnt connect to any of them.
Here is a screenshot on my dashboard just as a reference:
