that there is not the pro 2023 I know. my question was, if I switch from the cloud variant to the 2023 pro variant I have to restart? if so there is no way to create a backup? ---

No there is no migration or Backup/Restore from Homey (cloud) with or Without Homey Bridge to any Homey Pro model (including the announced Homey Pro (Early 2023) ) ---

Wait… is this still true? I recently started to experiment with Homey by doing this: 1. Install Homey App on iPhone 2. Subscribe to Premium 3. Build Flows, etc. Now, let’s pretend I buy the Homey Pro device. Am I starting all over again with devices and Flows? (not a big deal, just wondering) ---
