Merge with old history (partially) failed.

[kimme1024]

As I screwed up before with my homebridge instances I had to start from scratch.
However I made a backup of my json files on my old instance which included 3 history files from temperature and humidity sensors.
After I reinstalled everything I copied the old json files over the newly created ones but only 1 of the 3 took over the history. The other ones didn't.

Any ideas of where I should start to look for a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean the persisted files? You should copy the old one in the correct position BEFORE starting homebridge, and most probably you have also to reset the history in Eve by deleting it and force quitting Eve.

Hi,

I tried stopping hb-service, removing the history files, recopy from the old directory and restarting hb-service.
Sadly the history is only working for the bathroom, not the bedroom and fitness...
It's very weird!

Have you also deleted the history from Eve?

[kimme1024]

I've been looking around in Eve for that but didn't find where I could do that... Might have missed it...

You have to go under the Measurement detail, where you can see each entry and then delete all of them.

Hi,

I did the following:

stopped hb-service
removed history from server
removed measurements from eve app
force quit eve app
copied history
started hb-service
opened eve app and gave it time to load the history.
Now the history is even more limited, all sensors go back to 17th of august while the history files contain data for about 2 years.

Long story short, it became worse now :)

Any ideas?

Are you sure that the history file persisted on homebridge goes back two years? The default length is about 1 month, that is what you are seeing. Maybe it was the history inside Eve that was 2 years long, but once it get messed I found that the only way to solve is to delete it.

Oh that's a bummer :( I really liked the fact that it had a long history, should have deleted it then :/

You can try to increase the history persisted by fakegato if you want, but I don't know which is the limit supported by the protocol. The real Elgato accessories have an history of about 2-3 weeks.
