> What is the simplest and most efficient way to copy the flows from one Homey to the other without having to recreate everything

I’d restore a backup from Homey 1 (H1) to Homey 2 (H2).  
Shut H1 down first!

### H2 actions:

When H2 is up and running

- Remove all zigbee devices you intend to keep at H1.
- Disable any flow which you intend to run at H1

### H1 actions

- Shut H2 down first!
- 
- When H1 is up and running, remove all zigbee devices you didn’t remove from H2.
- Disable any flow which you intend to run at H2
- When you’re very sure no zigbee devices are present on both Homeys:
- Start H2

### App Control

At this moment, we can’t merge 2 Homeys into the app. The easiest way to control H2, without logging in & out every time:

- Create a 2nd Homey account
- Transfer the owner role from H1 account to the new created 2nd account (while H2 is a copy of H1, the H1 owner account is also H2 owner)
- Change the H1 account rights to ‘Manager’
- At H1, invite the 2nd account as ‘Manager’.  
When done, you’d be able to switch Homeys by pressing a few buttons:

Only for [certain tasks](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360012615814-Adding-managing-removing-user-accounts-on-Homey), you’ll need to login using the the right owner account:  
_Managing users and sytem updates_

### Communication:

You can also use MQTT as communication between both Homey’s, using virtual MQTT devices, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

About webhooks as presented by Henk:  
In your situation ou can use local webhooks, to avoid using and needing Athom cloud:

> Additional, when both Homey’s are on the same LAN network (local or through VPN), you can omit the cloud connection like this:  
> [http://receiving.homey.ip.address/api/manager/logic/webhook/test](http://receiving.homey.ip.address/api/manager/logic/webhook/test)  
> (mind the `http` without the `s`)  
> Like this example:  
> [http://192.168.1.15/api/manager/logic/webhook/test](http://192.168.1.15/api/manager/logic/webhook/test)

I’ve also heard Athom is planning to release an app called _ **Homey Link** _, which might be what you need. But I wouldn’t wait for it to be published.
