Backup & Restore

[ShiranNYC]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a way to back up and restore all devices added through Tuya Local. I currently have 134 Tuya devices, and after a catastrophic failure, I had to completely rebuild my Home Assistant setup. Unfortunately, I lost all my Tuya Local configurations in the process.

Now, after another issue, I’m rebuilding again—but this time, I still have access to the previous install, which still has all 134 entities intact. While that installation isn’t stable enough for daily use, it is accessible.

Before moving forward, I want to find a way to back up and transfer my Tuya Local entities to the new setup instead of having to manually reconfigure everything. Is there a method to export these configurations and migrate them cleanly?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

HA has Backup and Restore functionality for the entire config. Tuya local is part of that.

I know that I can backup and restore HA but there was something in the config that was preventing File Editor and node red from showing, I was getting a blank page. I did a restore and the error followed.

I tried editing .storage file and adding only the tuya entries to it but it kept moving them to deleted entities.

What am I missing?
