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. ---

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

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 ‘normal’ Homeys are now seen as a Homey Pro… 🙂 ---

No bridge, just a “normal” old Homey from 2019. Interesting to hear that they are all seen as Homey Pro now. I was not aware of this silent upgrade… 🤣 ---

So my Homey Pro 2019 seems to have failed. I’ve been paying for cloud backup for years in case this happened. So now I’m reading that to use the backup I need to buy another 2019 Homey, I can’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). ---
