(SOLVED) Use JSON from another Dashboard

Configuration Frontend
1

Background: I had home assistant setup and built a Dashboard that I liked. The HA box crashed, but fortunately I did backups to my NAS.

When I rebuilt the box I decided to do a clean install of home assistant since I moved to a new house and had different devices.

I found the Dashboard JSON (config/.storage/lovelace) in my backup, is there a way to import the JSON into my current HA instance as another dashboard?

I figured it out (MAKE BACKUP BEFORE ATTEMPTING)

  1. In Current HA Instance make a dashboard called Test
  2. Using File Editor upload the OLD Lovelace file to /config
  3. Using Advanced SSH - rename OLD Lovelace file to lovelace.dashboard_test
  4. Copy lovelace.dashboard_test to /config/.storage
  5. Restart HA
