#All of my automations wiped by update?

Updated from a 2023 build (I know I know) to the latest, and suddenly all of my automations are just.. gone.

Anyone know how I can fix this? Maybe restore just those from backups? This is severely debilitating, I had hundreds.

have you done a full reboot already, and check if > automation: !include automations.yaml is inside your configuation.yaml

#

You also can try to partially roll back the core part only

a big step from 23 to 25 lol

Any recommendation on how to go about the rollback? I can Google it but if you have a doc you would recommend I can definitely start there

system>backups>restore backup selecting home core, so the upper part settings

#

make a seperate backup first though

#

😉

#

and download it to pc

Oh mine auto sync nightly to Google drive so should be good there! Thanks I'll try that ASAP

Does that just put me back where I was before the update (2yrs out of date) or can I export my automations, run the update, then re-import?

#

Sorry automations not backups

proper fable
#

think so yes

#

that's why you made a fresh backup of the uptodate system. Can rollback that as soon as you grabbed the yaml

Very nice I'll try that now I think

#

Very problematic not being able to use any of my automations

good luck

Thanks!

Slight complications - to restore a backup it asks for an encryption key, but I never set one inside HA. At least not that I remember. Idk if it's something that was introduced since my last update (2023).

Does anyone know if there's somewhere I could find the encryption key? I know that would kind of defeat the purpose but it seems like otherwise I'd be kind of locked out

from os shell type > grep "password" /mnt/data/supervisor/homeassistant/.storage/backup

So I have the current encryption key, but for some reason it seems like the older backups have a totally different one that I don't have saved. Gonna try to restore, use this, then unencrypt but it's getting a little messy

Guess I'm stuck on that for now. I have backups all the way back to 2020, but anything before last week doesn't unlock with the same encryption key, even though it works for the recent stuff. I guess somehow the key got reset and I don't have the old one

Fixed! Found a core backup from a few weeks ago with no encryption, restored and there the automations are. Updating to the current build now. Thanks for all the help @proper fable, saved me a lot of time 🙂
