How do you do that?

It’s not done in 5min.

You need to mount your homey using rpiboot, then copy all the files/folder from the user partition.

Then copy them to your SHS user partition  
And then you need to edit the SQL DB to make it match the homey-shs ID and cert.

It is a lot of work, but it can be done.

Cheers. That looks like brain rot and one of the main reasons I choose Homey vs HS. It does seem that users can upgrade from Mini to STD Pro with a simple backup/Restore so that might be all I really need. Recently tried to add the Atom “Matter Bridge” since they said they were deprecating the Matter experiment. That app uses a lot of RAM and doesn’t work so I abandoned it until they fix it.

Doubtful, there’s actually a hardcoded exception in the Homey code base to allow that app to use more RAM than any other app. So instead of fixing the RAM usage, they “fixed” Homey’s core.
