Hi - strange question.

I was building some new things (IPcamera binding) and the equivalent HABPanel json. Just when I finished i got an update offer by openhabian (via putty) so I upgraded. next restart and the Zwave bridge isnt online anymore. restared/booted 3 times, tried to see if the tty remained the same (it did) but nothing works to bring it back online. Luckily i had a very recent image/backup of the sd card so I just tried to recover it and the bridge is back. So I surmise the update broke something. - I have read the conversation on the issue - use an external usb etc but i didnt have an issue before nor after.

is there something perhaps of recent updates that could have affected?
any obvious fix?
if not. is there a smart way to “copy paste” the things (about 20cameras) I created and the habpanel setup to avoid spending another 2 hours rebuilding it?
I can worry about updating later.

I run a command to check the tty ports - the ones in bold stand out.

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ dmesg | grep tty

future knowledge for anyone who comes across this

OK so it seems it is a bug with the IPcamera 3.2.M3 version. it should fix itself after the m4 version but in the mean time, i uninstalled the biding and reinstalled it and that kept everything + recovered the zwave.

dont think it was the update
