Last week our area suffered a power out. After that I couldn’t get my HA system to reboot, it appeared to have damaged the SD card. So I took a new SD card and reinstalled.
What I had was so different to the system I lost that I couldn’t make any sense of it.
I thought it would be just a case of writing the same information back to the several yaml files and we would be up and running, but no!
First, configuration.yaml had virtually no default content and when I entered the first simple block from my previous system, it complained about errors in the file.
I am not sure what version I was running previously, but I also have a development system which I use to try out new ideas before I put them into the live system. That was off at the time of power fail so is still available. It is running version 0.79.3, the new build is version 0.97.2.
I haven’t managed to find anything from my previous system that is accepted by the yaml files in the new version, it is like I am using a totally different system. Is there anything I could have done wrong to get into this situation or has the system changed so radically in the couple of years since I created my initial system that I need to start again from scratch to figure out how it works?
