Ok, just upgraded from P23 to P26 and wanted to share my results. It went pretty smoothly just a few hiccups. After adding new Homey to account from backup none of my devices worked. I read that in a post that you just do another reset and restore from backup again. Before trying that I just did a reboot of H26. This actually made all but my zwave devices working . . sigh of relief. Now for the zwave I was receiving a node error and since I only have 4 of them I decided to remove and re-add them instead of trying the reset method. Now just need to fix the flows that were associated to the old zwave devices and add the new device flow card in its place. Keep in mind I just did the change yesterday, so limited testing of flows, but all devices work. All in all it was a successful upgrade as far as I’m concerned. 😃 ---

OK I just did a conversion from an Early 2023 to a 2026, and it seems to have worked. - Enabled backup on 2023, ensure online backups create cleanly - USB tool to create local backup of 2023, then power 2023 down again for now - USB tool to update 2026 - only upgrade firmware - USB tool to restore local backup from 2023 to 2026 - got [stuck on Verifying](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-pro-2023-crashed/146573/49) - USB tool to restore again - this time it worked - Power 2026 up - can’t connect. Dammit forgot to adjust Unifi firewall rules - fix that Everything was there. Zigbee is on channel 25, I think it was on 20 before ? I can’t find the post-it note where I wrote that down Samsung soundbar wasn’t available, had to redo the SmartThings generate token process, now it seems to be working fine. Ram is at 4GB, so that’s good 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/a/0a6bfb22ae872094a39549db7979e871f61bc563.png) I thought storage was increased, but checking around it’s the same [same 8GB for 2023 and 2026](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360015447093-Comparing-the-existing-Homey-Pro-models) models. But mine thinks it’s a lot less - only 2.66GB ? Yah, that seems typical. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/b/9bdb9e7c5c58bcd1ad4df36478ea8977d0cee3cd.png) So all in all, after all the horror stories, especially about Zigbee, this went smoothly. I have no ZWave devices, only Zigbee, Matter and plain Wifi. I have to check _everything_ but the spot-checks are so far all good. ---

Have a Third Reality smart plug - P4SPA1Z - that wasn’t responding. Repair worked fine on it - had to hold button then it was re-added. I added another spare P4SPA1Z smart plug and it added cleanly. But … I unplugged it to move it to another socket, and it became unresponsive. I had to repair it, which worked fine and it’s back working. ---

You are lucky that the Zigbee migration seemed to have gone well. How many Zigbee devices do you have connected to your Homey? ---

So far I have 12 Zigbee, 17 Matter directly into Homey. Then about 10 Aqara devices via an Aqara M100 hub and 15 Lutron Caseta dimmers/switches via a Lutron Caseta hub. ---

> [@Halfwalker](#): > > So far I have 12 Zigbee Then your Zigbee network is small enough for Homey to succeed in rebuilding it after a restore. Larger networks seem problematic. ---

Im thinking about upscaling from 2023 tot 2026 cause of memory shortage. But I’m curious what other members did with the old 2023 model. Is it possible to run the old model next to new model as a backup? ---

It will run as its own independent system, with e.g. its own Zigbee and Z-Wave network. You cannot set it up as a satellite for your new Homey (and make it part of your existing networks). Zigbee and Z-wave devices can only be connected to one Homey at a time. You can though link the two Homeys via the HomeyLink app. So you can control one Homey from the other. ---

Yes, I saw the HomeyLink, but i guess that’s only for operating it outside of your house? Or what is the benefit within one house? Cause i guess you cant make a flow between different devices from different homey’s. ---

I don’t use the app personally, but as I understand you can also use it for a local connection. You can import and control the devices linked to one Homey via the other Homey. So also via flows. I personally had no need for two separate Homeys after I upgraded to the 2026 model. I sold the older model. ---

Check, in that case I might keep the older model with all important apps, in case the new model gets a hardware problem. ---

FYI: the description of the HomeyLink app does mention a limitation when using flows to control devices attached to a secondary Homey: ![IMG_3031](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/6/f616e9d75f9db71fa5ab30ddaf24d83dcee0ccf1.jpeg) ---

That said, we can just start a “When this flow is started” flow on Homey B per Homey A; if the device is paired with Homey B, no limits in flow functionality ### Homey A ![Screenshot_20261006_001526_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6dfebb24d1250113276116fcbe7a02c306c97cd4.jpeg) ### Homey B ![Screenshot_20261006_001449_Vivaldi](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6c617229f786e0cadeab79d939af08c7a33a079c.jpeg) ---

So same with Dashboards I guess. Only devices from Homey A, but you can run flows to Homey B. ---

When you’ve added devices from Homey B to Homey A per HomeyLink, they’d appear in Homey A Dashboard as well.
