Hey, just migrated and installed the backup. Now, I wonder what’s with the apps. [Here it says](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/9302284997660-Migrating-data-from-Homey-Pro-2016-2019-to-Homey-Pro-Early-2023)

> The restored backup does not contain the installed Apps. After the migration, **your new Homey Pro (Early 2023) will automatically download and install your Apps**.

How long does it take before the apps (from the '16-'19) are automatically installed? Anyone who can share his/her experience?

When I migrated, it seemed like it never installed the apps. So then I tried a restart of the HP23, all the apps was installed. So it was a refresh issue.

Try a restart of the HP23.

Not sure about the number of zigbee devices, but it"s just done by right-clicking each device tile and select “Repair”.  
(But there’ll always be uncooperative devices)

it went smoother than expected, all zigbees decided to come online again. One z-wave thermometer is making troubles though.
