> Have you tried restoring a backup again? Or not the latest but the one before that? The issue is that your device _entries_ aren’t being restored, which is more fundamental than just Zigbee/Z-Wave not working properly.

I had to go 3 days back in the backup history to get a backup that was OK and install all my devices. I lost some history but now all devices are in place.

Repair the ZigBee devices went smooth (around 50 devices). No problem with Z-Wave devices.

Plan for updating from 2019 to 2023.  
Clean up apps and flows to what I need.  
Backup 2019, take 2019 offline.  
Set up 2023 as new and update to latest firmware.  
Reset 2023 and do a restore.  
Does the update before restore seem like a good idea?

Thanks, in advance

Everything except zigbee went ok.  
Had to repair all zigbee units, difficult level 1-3 depending on device.  
Well, most stuff and rules survived, that’s where to most work have been done.
