I know the topic title is nog new on this forum, but I started a new topic since solutions did not fit my case and posts are quite old. Today I migrated my Homey 2016-2019 to a Homey pro 2023, following the steps lined out in the instructions. After connecting the 2023, I downloaded the latest backup from my 2016-2019. Backup was installed correctly, but I ran into the Fibaro z-wave“ no valid node ID” issue that came across this forum before. The issue is that solutions point to re-installing a backup from the old Homey, or reference to a specific old version that is no longer available (most topics date back tot 2023-2024). But my issue exists after installing the backup. So I am kind of stuck. Hopefully it can de fixed without resetting devices, since there are mostly build-in dimmers. ---

Most migrations took place since the introduction of Pro 2023, so I don’t get the fact why you describe 2023/2024 posts, and possible fixes, as old / obsolete. Nothing’s changed right? Not Homey 2019, not Pro 2023. Because z-wave “should just work”, in other words, it’s not mentioned here: ([https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/9302284997660-Migrating-data-from-Homey-Pro-2016-2019-to-Homey-Pro-Early-2023](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/9302284997660-Migrating-data-from-Homey-Pro-2016-2019-to-Homey-Pro-Early-2023)) you should contact Athom support imho: > **[Support | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/support/)** ---

Because I could not find if any (firmware) updates since 2023 might have fixed the problem. And there have been updates te past 19 months… ---

Got a response from Support? . > [@Bas](#): > > solutions point to re-installing a backup from the old Homey, or reference to a specific old version that is no longer available (most topics date back tot 2023-2024). I wondered what you mean by “specific old version”? Firmware? \> this doesn’t get included in the cloud backup system. Backup? \> I can’t see how that would be related. Maybe a link to these post(s) mentioning that possible fix can help clarify a bit. Searching on your error description did not return useful results: [https://community.homey.app/search?q=fibaro%20no%20valid%20node%20ID%20order%3Alatest](https://community.homey.app/search?q=fibaro%20no%20valid%20node%20ID%20order%253Alatest) ---

A regular factory reset did not work. However, resetting via usb.homey.app did the trick
