Z-Wave devices should migrate automatically indeed. But if I understood correctly; @K_S refers to devices that are handled by a new Homey app. ---

> [@K\_S](#): > > with the same names - would the script then enable me to repair the broken flows? When you use Martijn"s script with Old/New device names, you have to give the ‘new’ devices a different name first; Otherwise the script doesn’t change a thing. You could add a `1` or a `.` to the names for instance. When done, you can rename the devices to their initial names . > [@Sharkys](#): > > The APP ID will be different, the script handle only devices within the same app. > The different APP (ID) with different device ID is unfortunately much bigger challenge. From what I understand, the script can replace a, say, Hue motion\_alarm sensor with a Tuya zigbee motion\_alarm sensor: > ![Screenshot_20230623-134040_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/7/3777eca0c73c9c07727b4e3e6ea8e1c7440af84d.jpeg) But only @martijnpoppen can confirm if that’s the case 🙏 ---

You can as long as the flowcards are the same (but the apps are different) it’s possible to use the script, This will mainly work for default Homey flowcards. So custom flowcards will probably (most definetely) break ---

I tried when migrating from Roborock app to Xiaomi … didn’t work for me unfortunately, mostly also given the different flow triggers, actions etc. But - it can be always tried, it will not harm anything, just report in worst case error. ---

OK, so the steps are?: 1. Remove the old Sensative strip devices 2. Add them with new names, using the new Senstative app, into the same rooms that they were in 3. Run the script to replace devices (old names) with same devices (new names) (4. Optional: rename the devices back to their original name) Is that right? ---

Sorry but theres a dedicated topic with instructions: [[HOW-TO][Pro][Cloud] - Tool to FIX (advanced) flows after removing and re-adding devices](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) If that doesn’t work then its better not to use the script its at your own risk 😉 ---

Hi! I took great care to repair my zigbee units with routers before battery powered units. Because only the first 15 (or since 2023 30?) can connect directly to Homey. However, when looking under zigbee under developer page, the order of them seems random. It is not the new paring order, nor is it the old one. How come? And is it this order that decides which one Homey connect directly to, or is it fine? ---

Received my Homey pro 2023 today. Made a backup of my Homey Pro 2019, turned it off, turned on the new one… Wow, I love how fast it is and how the led ring corresponds well to what it shows in the app. All devices and flows were installed without a problem. However, the apps were all not installed and that didn’t happen (I waited a long time and not one app got installed). I manually installed all apps, but now none of the Z-wave devices work. Anyone experienced this, how did you solve it? If I don’t have to pair them again it will save a lot of time… (Z-wave in the developer page shows only the Homey node) ---

If all your apps are SDKv2, they won’t get installed, but probably you have SDKv3 apps as well? Which firmware version is running atm? Did you inform [https://homey.app/support](https://homey.app/support) too? While the Pro 23 is not declared beta anylonger by Athom, this issue shouldn’t happen imho. **EDIT** : a guy from a facebook group, with a similar zwave issue, wrote zwave started to work when he first performed a factory reset and started the migration again. ![Screenshot from 2023-08-02 21-58-42](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/4/a43d133e9a959a084c730daf8562cd003a22ef73.png) ---

I got 3 notices in my timeline from the SDKv2 apps, but all others were SDKv3. I didn’t inform them, but will. I will try a factory reset tonight, it might have to do with the firmware that it is shipped with. I am now up2date to the latest stable firmware (10.0.0) but I think it shipped with 8.1.6 or something. Thanks for the screenshot, I am in the group but didn’t see it yet 🙂 UPDATE: Athom advised me to PTP for 10 minutes, then wait for at least 10 minutes before doing anything. Didn’t help. Decided to go for the second option they suggested, removing the devices and readding them. That worked flawlessly. ---

I have problems with the repair function on Zigbee when migrating from Homey pro 2019 to Homey pro 2023. Get the following error message when trying to repair: Zigbee network busy. Q1: Must both Homeys be on the same Zigbee channel? My Homey 2019 is on channel 11 and Homey 23 is on channel 23. Q2: If not, how long time does the Homey23 need be up and running before starting the repair process. I have sent theese questions to Homey Support, but they are verry busy at the moment. Q3: Why havent the Homey support team made a FAQ with answers for the migration process? ---
