Almost everything from the old topic is still true,
Add to that:
You need a recent successful backup of your other Homey;
Not validated, but pretty sure: you can’t migrate back from a Backup if the new Model Homey to a older model Homey!
Check all Homey apps on your Homey that they are ready for the new Homey Pro (Early 2023) Both that they are updated tot SDK3, but also verified by the developer or other Community members that they actually WORK on the new model!
Are you Ready?
Create a last Backup on your older Homey! If it is visible in your Portal My backups | Homey
Power-Down the Source Homey!
Give Homey Time to restore and be patient… Homey needs to download all Homey Apps again!
Check all Apps, your Timeline and Z-Wave or RF Device, they should work. Eventually Power Cycle a couple of Z-Wave devices of they didn’t react, most of the time that fixes it.
If Everything working? If not, investigate, Send Logs, write down your issue’s, go back to your older Homey! Reset the new Homey and look how to fix your issue…
Next step - Zigbee Re-Pairing (actually repair )
For each and every Zigbee device Klick Repair - From WebApp Rightclick - From Mobile - Device-Settings - Maintenance Try to Repair.
With Repair your Insights and Device ID are kept, so no need to Fix Flows after that!
(Only the Zigbee ID’s are Replaced and the device joins the NEW Homey Pro Zigbee network!)
Once you start this process you can’t revert to your old Homey without again adding and repairing all Zigbee devices!
Note:
Using the Backup-Restore uses for Z-Wave the same network, Do not power-on the old Homey as both will interfere (at least on Z-Wave and probably give strange effects on RF and other devices). If you are sure you won’t revert to the old Homey, Power-on, wait ~ 30 seconds - Rollover Homey … Follow all instructions here: https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360024602314-Resetting-Homey-Pro-to-factory-defaults )

Question, i have migrated from Homey Early 2016 (latest version) to the new Homey Pro 2023 (latest version). All my devices have migrated with the apps (from back-up). But the flows are not migrated. Only the folder structure but no flows inside.
Is this a known issue? Already tried 3 resets for the homey pro 2023 and a new and older back-up.
Not that I know, please report as in the instructions for Early Access:

So I should be getting the new Homey Pro 2023 today however, Im missing how I can simply migrate everything from the older (2019) to the new 2023? What are the steps to follow?
I checked the knowledge-base but cant find any article about it.
You must have a backup of your current Homey. Initiate a restore for the new Homey.
As far as I know, Zigbee devices are not restored. They have to be relearned and the flows have to be repaired.
In any case, I would disconnect the old Homey from the power supply before restoring the new one. If it goes wrong, you can reset the erarly 23 to factory settings and use the old one again.
First contradicting thing; received an email stating I need to install the new app.
To set up the new Homey Pro, you need to install the new Homey app for iOS & Android .
Just opened the new Homey '23. The QR that’s on the backside of the included booklet directs me to the IOS App Store to download the regular ‘old’ app.
Today my new homey pro 2023 arived.
After a migration everything went well but the flows are gone.
Is the a way to get my flows back?
Update. Only the advanced flows were restored…strange

I tried to migrate my Early 2016 Pro backup to the new 2023 Pro.
The first time it said the back-up was ready, at startup I received an error “TypeError: Invalid Version: null”.
I waited for 5 more minutes en restarted the App (7.0 Beta).
Afterward it just started, but all devices show like a dashed square, and the reason for it is the correct apps are not yet installed.
How long does it take to update the apps? And how can I see if it is still downloading and installing? I didn’t just restart the Homey because I think it is not a good idea to reset the Homey during the installing of the apps.
Also I have the exact same problem as everybody, only a few advanced flows (5%) are restored, but all of my normal flows (95%) are not restored.
Have you checked cabling (RJ45 CATxx) between Homey adapter and Switch?
Tried another Switch port? Tried another Cable? What reports the switch as speed?
Send an Diagnostics report from the Homey on that adapter to Athom and created a Report an Issue with Homey Pro (Early 2023) →
