Bome Network Feature Request: export/import settings

Hi Florian! How would I pull this info from the iOS app? Feature request to have this all available from the web app.

Thanks for reporting. There is an existing feature request for export/import settings from within Bome Network (iOS and all other platforms). I’ll report back here about any progress.

Thanks, you guys rock

Hey there Florian,
Has there been any progress with this request? I’m in the middle of trying a whole bunch of different config options and keep forgetting what I’ve added or deleted; the ability to simply load a backup would make things SO much easier!

Hi, in the interim if you are on Windows, you can try the AutoHotKey Script that I wrote.

/*
Title: Bomenet Scene Switch
Description: Create new or select old scene for use.
AutoHotKey_L Version: 1.1.09.00
Written by: Steven J. Caldwell
Last Update: 2024-01-21
Other Notes:

For selecting a new Scene:

Original running .bmts file is saved in Temp with a date and time stamp when selecting a new scene. It will overwrite if already
created.

Bome Network will be stopped and restarted.

For creating a new Scene from the running file:

If no file extension is input when creating a new scene it will be added. If the filename entered exists it will not be created.

Needs AutoHotKey 1 not AutoHotKey 2

I was thinking of writing something similar on Mac (using a different language) but was also looking forward to this feature being implemented. My main PC has the most complex routing which is why I use this. I generally datestamp my configurations so I can always go back to a working configuration. It does, however require BomeNet to temporarily shut down and then start up again.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - NOT SUPPORTED and NOT a Bome Product.
