Add ons not working properly after snapshot restore

Thank you guys for all the tips.

Ii actually managed to get a clean working install after many tries (and reproduced iit, thanks to the inputs of @factorial, @sme79 , @Protechtedd , @overkill32 )

So the process is quite easy 'even if i still think that it should be working directly and this is a workaround). Actually for some reasons, the restore does not manage to install the addons properly. They are then fully functional (once started) but supervisor does not see them as up. So if they have an UI you cant access it (ex. Deconz, tasmota etc…)

Prerequisite: a full backup your instance

  • Get yur new syste ready (eg. Burn the new sd or whatever) and let it start
  • Do a partial restore, with everything (configuration) but the add ons. Note the addons you have
  • Install all the add ons from the addons stores (you may have to reimport custom repositories if you use community addons). No need to configure them at all.
  • Then restore the backup again, but jus the add ons this time,
    Voila
    PS I am really used to HA working so well that i think this should be fixed. the issue is restoring an addon without installing it. As a developer myself (not contributing to HA because i am not a python fan, i a pretty confident this is easy to fix)

Thanks everyone for the great job
