Automatically backup and save all WLED preset and config files

Third party integrations Node-RED
1

This flow will find all your WLED entity IP’s. Request and save their presets.json and cfg.json files. Files will be stored in /media. It will create a wled folder and save each file in the format [IP address]_presets/cfg.json.

There is a 5 second delay in between each request. The inject node can be set to repeat from daily to once a week depending on how often you want to perform a save.

I know this is an old item but I thought I’d ask because I only came across it today. I tried out the flow but I only got one backup for one ip address. It created the folder correctly but I only had two files in the backup folder WLED inside media.

It is still working for me and I haven’t changed anything. Can you check one of the missing lights. From the intgration page, go to the device page, is the IP sensor enabled?

Looks like all of them are enabled. Wondering if it matters what the name of my lights are?

The name shouldn’t matter unless something was changed with the integration. All of my ip sensors are named WLED name_of_light IP. The flow searchs for WLED and IP. Is that the way your IP sensors are named?
