Raspberry pi2 Jessie and Pimatic

---

Since few months now Jessie is out for the raspberry: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here
I am still using Wheezy and i was wondering if it’s a good idea to move to Jessie. Will pimatic run smoothly with this version?
Any feedback and if yes how did you proceed: brand new install or upgrade?

@Yves911 i used Pimatic on Jessie. I have no problems with the normal Version.

I Used this Plugin´s :
cron
mobile-frontend
ping
pushbullet
sunrise
sysinfo
wakeonlan
openweather
homeduino
angular-material-frontend
shell-execute
hap
gpio

The CPU with PI2 is Average 10% & Memory 150mb.

Save the database and the config-file. Install Jessie on a new sd-card and try it.

actually there should be no problems with using Pimatic on Jessie.
if so, please report us!

an important thing you should do when installing jessie is to change the boot options.
jessie is booting to gui. this can be prevented when loging in via ssh and execute sudo raspi-config. there you will see

change the boot options to the following setting and reboot.

If you want to upgrade from wheezy to jessie you can check this tutorial here https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=121880
but this is without any warranty for success!!

ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE UPGRADING!!

thanks both, i will check deeper how it safe for me to update: pimatic is running in // of dnsmasq, openvpn, stunnel, letsencrypt, pyload, PiKrellCam, rdiff-backup.
Everything is installed on a separate hardrive so i can’t simply play with another SDcard here.
Maybe i will wait this summer to do that (my boiler is controlled by pimatic)…
Thanks for your feedback

Debian jessie switches its default init to the systemd for the event-driven and parallel initialization.
