WARNING 9: Restore file '.\send.json' contains obsolete name 'fast_power_cycle_disable'

[Papablaubaer]

I'm reading json from a Shelly 2.5 with version 12.0.2.3.
The result is
"flag3": {..."fast_power_cycle_disable": 1,...}. When I try to restore the same thing I get the following message: WARNING 9: Restore file '.\send.json' contains obsolete name 'fast_power_cycle_disable'.

Sorry, I found the error, there was an error in my json file. Many thanks for your effort.

I have the same issue, but a different parameter:

WARNING 9: Restore file './Config_Josh_room_Lamp_6.5.0.json' contains obsolete name 'display_dimmer', skipped
Premature exit - #9 Restore data error

I tried editing the JSON file to remove display_dimmer, but then it gave the same error for drivers, and after that energy_kWhtoday.

(And yes: this was on 6.5.0 about an hour ago. I backed up, RESET 6, took it through the entire upgrade sequence)

[curzon01]

Without knowing the version config comes from and version of restore to:

Only few (hand full) parameter from config becomes obsolete or renamed during different tasmota version history. display_dimmer is one of the rare candidate which was simply renamed to display_dimmer_protected.

Either rename the variable or ignore it during import with -w

[Joshfindit]

Without knowing the version config comes from and version of restore to:

In my case: 6.5.0 to 12.2.0

Only few (hand full) parameter from config becomes obsolete or renamed during different tasmota version history. display_dimmer is one of the rare candidate which was simply renamed to display_dimmer_protected.

How does a user know which have been renamed, which have been depreciated, and which will have important data dropped when using -w? As mentioned, I got that error for display_dimmer, drivers, and energy_kWhtoday before giving up as I have no indication about how many “bad names” there are

[curzon01]

-w always displays what's skipped:

./decode-config.py -s Config_12.2.0.dmp -i Config_6.5.0.json -w
