homebridge-config-ui-x 4.11.0

4.11.0 (2020-02-27)

on Node.js NPM

Backup / Restore Feature

This release comes with a new feature that allows users to backup and restore their entire Homebridge instance.

The backup and restore process works in such a way that users should be able to use the feature roll back to a previous state, or transfer their current Homebridge setup to a new server without the need to re-pair with HomeKit.

Highlights:

• Full backup of your Homebridge storage, persist and accessories folders
• Migrate your Homebridge instance to a new platform or server with ease
• Rollback your existing instance in seconds (if you made a full backup first)
• The backup is a standard .tar.gz archive (this means manual restores or extracting a single file is possible)
• Works on all platforms that are supported by Homebridge Config UI X including Docker, macOS, Windows 10, Linux and Raspbian
• The restore process will install any missing plugins (provided they are published to npm)

Notable Changes

• hb-service: When running under Homebridge using the hb-service process supervisor, the following changes have been made to the Restart action from the UI:
  • If no changes have been made to the Homebridge Config UI X, or the bridge sections in the config.json, just the Homebridge process will be restarted
  • If changes have been made to either of those sections, both the UI and the Homebridge processes will be restarted as per normal
  • This change will significantly decrease the Homebridge restart time on lower powered devices
  • No changes have been made to the hb-service restart command executed via the Terminal
