How to return to a previous version of Home Assistant

Configuration
1

Hello! I’m new to the community and to Home Assistant, and after the latest update, I’m having some issues that I’d like to see if I had the same issue with the previous version of HA. Since I barely have any automations configured, I wouldn’t mind reinstalling HA from scratch and testing. In fact, I’m currently using an old Raspberry Pi 3, and if I see potential for my home, I’ll upgrade to a more powerful server.

The main problem I’m having is configuring a Legrand ecosystem—Valena Next with Netatmo—which HA recognized during the initial setup of the previous version with an Apple HOME KIT integration.

I had to reinstall HA after the update due to a problem with the Raspberry Pi’s SD card, and it no longer recognizes it as Apple HomeKit. I can only integrate it with Netatmo, which requires internet access, and the entities they offer aren’t as good as the ones I had with Home Kit… I don’t know if I’ve explained myself well or if I should split this into two threads. As I said before, I’m new to the forum…

I’m using the OS version for raspberry.

Can you help me?

Thank you very much!

of course you have made a backup before doing updates so why not just restore a backup

You can run any version using the HA CLI. See the first example here: Common tasks - Operating System - Home Assistant

Way quicker than restoring a backup.

I made a backup but I couldn’t download them because the Raspberry SD card broke before… I’ve only been using HA for a few days and I only work in fits and starts because I don’t have much time.

That is, if I type CLI in the HA console, will a menu appear to revert to a previous version? I’ll try that when I get home, thanks!

As soon as you enter the command and press return the command will execute, the system will up/downgrade to the version you chose in the command then restart running that version.
