Hi all!
I have tried to understand whether migration from previous Homey Pro to Homey 2023 works well or not.
Some reports issues with z-wave not working after a while, some that repairing zigbee does not work.
I guess there are lots of people out there wanting to migrate, please give us your experiences.
What went well and what didn’t.
Did a second migration help?
I migrated in an early phase in May this year.
Everything worked perfectly fine, I only had to fix my Zigbee devices.
I am not affected by any of the problems that are being reported at the moment.
My smart home is very large and currently has almost 300 devices.
Personally, I would advise against it at the moment, because I can’t repair my Zigbee devices. Others have problems with too much Z-Wave traffic. They would also advise against it.
The only thing you can do is try it out. If you are using Z-Wave devices I would recommend to watch Homey for 1-3 days after migration and not repair the Zigbee devices yet (if you can do without it until then). If after 1-3 days Z-Wave works without problems, then you can repair the Zigbee devices. If that also works without problems, then you can open a bottle of beer and enjoy the HP23.
If there are problems and you haven’t fixed the Zigbee devices yet, you can switch back to the HP19.
So give it a try and keep us posted.
