With a Homey Pro (Early 2023) can one connect, one or more Homey Bridges and extend the local network, and use all Premium features locally at no additional cost?

Premium is only a ‘Homey Cloud’ thing. Satellite Mode, which is a Homey Pro feature, all works without a subscription 🙂

How will it work if I have first had the bridge in cloud mode and then install the homey pro 2023.

What do I have to do?

How will they interact in satelite mode will the bridge drop the cloud as master and use the pro?

Will the definitions on the cloud be copied to the Pro as it takes over as the master?

No,

Disconnect the Bridge from The Homey (cloud) leaving all Flows and Device Config in the cloud Homey.

Connect the Bridge as satellite to your Homey Pro (Early 2023)  
Pair all devices again and Build your Flows Again.

is there anything special required to make the homey bridge this “satellite”? Reason I’m asking: my bridge does not appear as a zigbee router… can’t pair more than 10 devices.
