[QUOTE="pixelrogue, post: 1913776, member: 413642"] Anyone know how to backup and/or restore settings? Three L2 apple support agents, hours of calls and Apple does not appear to know. Yale points to Apple while Apple looks at Yale. SITUATION [LIST] [*]Lost 70+ device home network [*]Unable to restore network [/LIST] ENVIRONMENT [LIST] [*]Desktop mac, backed up to Time Machine Daily and monthly drive backups. iCloud on only for HomeKit and Keychain (and FindMy.) [*]HomePod, which was the hub for many months. [*]iPad as most recent hub: keychain and home app are iCloud enabled. [/LIST] BACKGROUND [LIST] [*]Needed to re-add a Yale lock to the network. From only working from within the Yale Secure app the lock and home were removed to start fresh. [*]Removing the home from Yale Secure app resulted in wiping the home and all of its devices and automations from the home app across every apple device and shared guest. [/LIST] Wonder if anyone else hit this lovely undocumented feature? How do you backup yoi Home app settings? [/QUOTE]
