Use Cases
- Automate weekly backups of Zigbee2MQTT data.
- Securely store IoT device backups on an SFTP server.
- Streamline data management for smart home devices.
How It Works
Triggers a backup request via MQTT every Monday at 2:45 AM. Listens for the backup response from Zigbee2MQTT. Parses the JSON response to extract the zip file content. Converts the zip file from base64 to binary format. Uploads the binary zip file to an SFTP server.
Setup Steps
- 1Import the workflow template into n8n.
- 2Configure the SFTP credentials for secure file transfer.
- 3Set up MQTT credentials for Zigbee2MQTT communication.
- 4Adjust the cron schedule if necessary for different backup timings.
