How to Backup and Restore eZLO Hub Settings 

 
Once you’ve set up your eZLO hub, you can save all of its settings in a backup copy. The backup process 
creates an image of an eZLO hub with the list of slave devices connected to the hub, and the device and 
eZLO settings. With the aid of this backup you can easily restore the previous eZLO hub configuration.  
 
It is recommended to make a backup before doing any changes that might cause a loss of the date. You 
should also perform a backup if you want to use an eZLO hub in a different place temporarily and plan to 
later re-install it in its initial smart home location. 
  
It is possible to create a number of backups as long as you give each one a unique name. A backup copy 
includes the:

 

 eZLO hub name 

 A color you picked to represent the hub in the web app 

A  list of all devices this eZLO hub manages along with their settings and their assigned rooms 

Note:

 

A backup can only be used on the eZLO hub from which it was made.   

In addition to the two manual backups, two automatic backups made by the system are available for 
restoring eZLO hub settings. Therefore the user may have as many as four system backups to choose 
from.

 

Note:

 

For reliability reasons, the eZLO hub creates automatic backups every night at ~03:00 AM. 

Our servers store the two latest automatic backups and up to two manual backups. 

 

How to Backup your eZLO Hub Settings 

 

1. Click 

 on the My eZLOs sidebar. 

    The 

Settings

 page is displayed. 

    Information on the last backup is displayed. 

 

 

3. Click 

Backup

   The application prompts for a backup name. 
 

Note

: You can keep only up to two backup copies of your eZLO hub, so if you create a third copy the first 

one will be removed from the server.
