One time I reset or did something (it was about a year ago) to my Aeotec USB zWave controller that caused it to lose the settings it had in it about my InControl setup. I only had about 25 devices and scenes total but it took the better part of a day to restore them all manually.

I now have dozens of devices and hundreds of scenes. I would like to know if there is a way to restore the contents and settings of the USB zWave controller automatically from the backup file. When it first happened to me I tried everything I could think of but I couldn't get it to work without entering them all in again via the InControl GUI.

Is there a way to do this? If not, can you please make one?

I think it would take me about a week to restore the elaborate setup that I have. And it would never be the same again.

ALSO, is there a way to save the settings in a human readable format that maybe I could read or print?

Thanks,
Mike Driscoll

Save the contents of the directory mentioned here...

Know that the "ProgramData" directory is hidden in the root of drive C.
You have to modify the attributes of the folder, with file explorer, to make hidden folders visible.
