Overview

This node interacts with the Homebridge API to list configuration backups. It is useful for users who want to manage and retrieve backups of their Homebridge configuration, enabling them to view or restore previous configurations as needed.

Use Case Examples

  1. A user wants to see all saved configuration backups to decide which one to restore.
  2. An automation workflow retrieves the list of backups to display them in a dashboard for monitoring.

Properties

Name Meaning
Access Token Access token from Login operation or manually entered to authenticate API requests.
Request Options Settings to customize the API request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy, and timeout.

Output

JSON

  • backups - Array of configuration backup objects retrieved from the Homebridge API.

Dependencies

  • Homebridge API with authentication via access token

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the access token is valid and has not expired to avoid authentication errors.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests fail or time out.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails, consider enabling the option to ignore SSL issues, but be aware of security risks.
  • Batching settings should be configured properly to avoid overwhelming the API or causing delays.
