Automatic weekly backup of your smart-home setup

The scenario requests a backup of your smart-home config and saves it to storage — so you can recover in minutes after a failure.

  • Backs up on a schedule, no reminders
  • Saves the file to reliable storage
  • Recovery after a crash takes minutes
  • Runs itself — nothing to click

How it works

Automating express and MQTT takes no code: a ready-made scenario does the routine for you.

  1. Starts when: CRON Monday 2:45 am
  2. Then: Send Zigbee2MQTT backup request
  3. Then: SFTP zip file content
  4. Starts when: MQTT Trigger - Backup Response
  5. Then: Parse JSON Object from Message Text
  6. Then: Convert to File - base64 to binary

You can launch this express + MQTT integration in Scriptera: describe the task in plain words — the scenario is built, launched and monitored for you.
