FAQ-10 How do I transfer the complete configuration of one device to a second one?

The transfer uses a USB stick and two update packages – configuration-export and configuration-import.

You need a USB stick the device recognises; when it is plugged in, the USB symbol appears at the top. If the device has an internet connection it finds both packages itself under System | Config. Without an internet connection, download the packages beforehand and place them in the root folder of the stick.

  1. Plug the stick into the source device.
  2. Open the Software screen, press Update and run configuration-export. The stick then carries the folder thermonomConf; an existing one is overwritten in the process.
  3. Remove the stick and plug it into the target device.
  4. There, also open Software | Update and run configuration-import.

No manual restart is needed: the operating interface restarts by itself after the import, after which the imported configuration is in effect.

What is transferred: the device settings, the stored recipes and the network settings.

NOTE

The network settings are transferred as well – including a statically assigned IP address. If you operate both devices in the same network, change the address on the target device after the import; otherwise two devices answer to the same address and neither of them reliably.
