ZHA integration to do nightly backup of both Zigbee Coordinator adapter/dongle/stick and Zigbee network/database?

no one has any answers?

Suggest asking in the dedicated thread for that Blueprint or its GitHub reposiroty instead as kind of off-topic from the original post here which really just a feature request for ZHA devs to add this and not a support thread for workarounds.

FYI, Display ZHA network settings and allow downloading backups by puddly · Pull Request #13415 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub supersedes ZHA network settings and backup/restore interface by puddly · Pull Request #13295 · home-assistant/frontend · GitHub as the initial frontend UI part, and ZHA backup/restore config flow by puddly · Pull Request #77044 · home-assistant/core · GitHub will adds network formation options to ZHA’s config flow, (that will give you several different options to let you “decide how to handle network information when setting up ZHA”):

Nice! :smiley:

Unfortunately that doesn’t keep your custom device and entity id naming and area relations:

Not if restoring/migrating from third-party Zigbee solutions like Zigbee2MQTT (or IoBroker) to the ZHA integration, however it should keep it if the backup is made from the ZHA integration and migration is only from one supported Zigbee Coordinator adapter to a different supported Zigbee Coordinator adapter.

As in the current valid use-case is for a scenario when you are restoring/migrating from a backup made inside the ZHA integration from using for example an older CC2530/CC231 based Zigbee Coordinator adapter to a newer Zigbee Coordinator adapter like for example Home Assistant SkyConnect USB Stick or ITead’s “Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus” (model “ZBDongle-P”).

If that do not work then report ZHA integration issue to https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues

I backed up ZHA with ConBee II and restored to ZHA on internal chip in the Yellow. It didn’t keep custom naming as others report in this thread:

Ah, that must be a bug that you need to report to → https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues

Ok! Thanks! I will do that!

I’m slowly migrating from Domoticz to Home Assistant and loving it so far!
I’ve been using a Conbee II on domoticz with the own Deconz software. Is it possible to migrate the stick + backup from the Raspberry Pi running Domoticz and Deconz to ZHA?

Not yet (but perhaps in the distant future you could convince Dresden-Dlektronik’s developers), and the reason for is that Dresden-Elektronik’s deCONZ/Phoscon software does not (yet) use the same “Open ZigBee Coordinator Backup Format” that most of the open-source Zigbee implementations now support, (including; Home Assistant’s ZHA integration, Zigbee2MQTT, IoBroker, Jeedom, and the Zigbee Plugin for Domoticz). You can read and post feedback to Dresden-Dlektronik’s developers in this request → https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin-v2/issues/12
