Hi

I added some ikea trådfri plugs to my homey, as generic devices. I’ve made some flows with them.

Then I realised there’s an ikea trådfri app.  
Can I get my “generic” ikea plugs into the ikea app easily, or do I need to reconnect them and update all flows manually?

I’m not aware that a moving is possible. However, if you try to add them via the IKEA app there is a chance that they get the same ID in Homey (as they are the known devices) and therefor no need to change all flows. But i didn’t have done someting like that for myself.
