is it safe to upgrade to UI7 & are settings/scripts/plugins also upgraded?

I am still running UI5 (latest version) on my vera lite and i am not sure if i should update or not to UI7

I use a lot of lua code, is this code 100% compatible between the 2 UI versions and will it be upgraded or do i loose everything?

Also i use a lot of plugins (in combination with own lua code) and i am not sure if they still work on UI7

The plugins i use are:

  • wonderworld weather plugin
  • virtual on/off switches
  • day or night
  • ice E-thermostaat
  • Ping sensor
  • multiswitch
  • xbmcstate
  • combination switch
  • variable container
  • vera alerts
  • kodi remote
  • virtual motion sensor

If i do upgrade, are the plugins (when compatible) automaticly upgraded or get i a clean install vera install and have to setup my vera as a new one again?

The Vera Alerts and Day or night will operate on UI7 … but in order to get the correct UI files you will need to update their plugins:

See:

You will use the same strategy to upgrade Day or Night.
The plugin ID is (Change the number at the end of the URL):
3166

Wait for each update to complete (it should restart Vera) before doing the next one.
