Homey Pro (Early 2023) Backup

Hello

Do you know if its possible to restore a backup from the old Homey 2019 to the new Homey 2023? So that all devices and flows are available on the new Homey?

Yep, not intending to make a manual change. Did it once (from the original to the now old Pro) and it was not a joyfull experience.

Look at the blue banner on top of this topic

Flows can be migrated using the Device Capabilities app ā€˜Flow exchangerā€™ functionality.

Definitely prioritize the backup/restore functionality. Iā€™ve also pre-ordered but Iā€™ll cancel the order if migrating everything from my old homey will not be possible at the launch of the 2023 model.

You left out the important part :kissing_heart: like @HansieNL alr. mentioned:

The name of the app is hidden somewhere in there :wink:

Is my reading correct that a backup is only possible from a previous Homey PRO? I only have a non-Pro Homey and would like to know if a backup to the new Homey Pro is also possible.

Do you have the Homey bridge then?
Because all ā€˜normalā€™ Homeys are now seen as a Homey Proā€¦ :slight_smile:

No bridge, just a ā€œnormalā€ old Homey from 2019.

Interesting to hear that they are all seen as Homey Pro now. I was not aware of this silent upgradeā€¦ :rofl:

Any further news on Zigbee ?

Hoping I can migrate now with no issues. Can anyone confirm

So my Homey Pro 2019 seems to have failed. Iā€™ve been paying for cloud backup for years in case this happened. So now Iā€™m reading that to use the backup I need to buy another 2019 Homey, I canā€™t buy a newer one and use the backup? If so this feels like a massive failure by the Homey team (why would I pay for a backup if I could not use it with newer hardware).

Youā€™re reading it wrong.
