How To Export An Entire eRVin Configuration (Flow)
This is a pretty simple process, you just need a PC or Mac with a browser connected to the same network as your eRVin system. A tablet should also work fine. Just FYI, what we call a “configuration file” for eRVin, is technically know as a “flow” in Node-Red terminology.
- You will need to know the IP address of your eRVin. If the eRVin dashboard is already running, you can get it from the System/Network Information as shown below. If you still can’t find it, this post may help.
- Now connect to Node-Red. From your PC or Mac open a browser window and type your_ip_address:1880 (example 192.168.10.160:1880). If you need more help see this post. This should bring you to the Node-Red “Palette”.
- In the upper right hand corner click the hamburger icon, then select Export:
- On the next screen select all flows, then click Download.
- Choose a meaningful name and an appropriate place on your system to save the file. It is just a text file with a .json extension and should be less than a megabyte.
- If you need to send the file to me, send an email to rob@myervin.com with the file attached.
