how to preserve plugin modifications when SIP system is updated - paul - 2021 Aug 31
Hi Dan,
Let's say I have made a pin reassignment in the buzzer.py plugin:
BUZZER_PIN = 32 -->
BUZZER_PIN = 10
I want to preserve this reassignment in the following two scenarios:
1. when I perform SIP upgrade, and
2. when I re-install the plugin
If it is not possible, do I just keep a local copy of the modified plugin and then copy it to the SIP/plugins directory after the upgrade or re-install?
On the other hand, I think the plugin runs independently from sip.py so might not be vulnerable to SIP upgrade.

SIP upgrades are git pulls.
This should not affect most plugins or saved configuration/irrigation program data.
There are a few plugins that are included with the core software which can get changed in an upgrade.
