Been a while since I’ve upgraded, I used to do it for each release but been too busy to keep up to date.
Im looking to upgrade from 0.45.1 to 0.49.
Can any one see any issues I may run into doing so? I know there was on one of the upgrades where there was a change in automations and I needed to change something but I cant find that article explaining what needed to be changed. Does any one have a link to this?
I was just going to say that. There’s an easy way around it by setting it to use the legacy names until you are ready to update your groups, automations, scripts and anywhere else you’d use a zwave entity. (I’m still doing it!)
It’s in the breaking changes though, so you’ll see it.
Just have backup and if it doesn’t work you can always go back. I recently upgraded and had some werid problems that I finally tracked down to the denonavr code.
I ended up having to backport all of the denonavr code to get things going again because I didn’t want to fall behind.
Anyway, the point is I don’t think you can ever know if upgrading is going to bite you. Just be prepared to restore from backup and keep track of when and what you change because you may not notice the problems with the upgrade until a few days after.
Thanks for the help everyone, everyone is always helpful here!
I run HA on a Hyper-V environment so I checkpoint the VM before upgrading always. I do also have full nightly backups of my VMs so can always do a full restore too.
Upgrade was smooth and I’ve tested out my automations and everything seems to be running fine so far. Ill keep running on the snapshot for a couple days just to make sure there are no further issues before collapsing the snaps.
