Hi,
Have: Homey Pro 2019. Want: Migration to Homey Pro 2023 with intact flows etc.
So, I just want to make sure the first steps in a migration. I really want to not use Wifi, so I want to setup the new Homey using the Ethernet only. Also, is it important to re-buy Dashboards and Advanced flows before trying to migrate the old profile into the new one?
Many thanks!

There is already writen a lot.

Athom has released Homey Cloud Backup service in the latest firmware (4.0.0) and a restore option in the mobile App and Web based Homey Setup .
You need a Homey+ subscription to make backups and to be able to restore backups.
As Alpha tester I already tested restoring my production Homey to a second Homey. I want to share my experience and give tips to migrate for example your Homey to a Homey Pro. (or just any type to any other Homey)
This report is based on tests wit a pre-release version …
I see a lot of questions on Slack and here due to mistakes or nor reading. Lets see if we can organize them by topic.
I have written a [HowTo] Homey Backup and Restore - Homey Migration before when Backup-Restore came available.
Almost everything from the old topic is still true,
Add to that:
You need a recent successful backup of your other Homey;
Not validated, but pretty sure: you can’t migrate back from a Backup if the new Model Homey to a older model Homey!
Check all Homey apps on you…
Morning all, I have received my new Homey yesterday. I want to post my experience migrating from my 2019 Homey (all my devices, flows and apps) as I have been pushing out the decision ever since it was first announced.
My biggest fear where some of the less transparent smart home implementations, such as my sunscreens, or my skylight, don’t remember how I initially connected to homey. I feared I would lose, or struggle for a long time to get these back to work.
Surprise 1, my Homey arrived wi…

Thanks, all great links but I still wonder about this part: do I need to “re-buy Dashboards and Advanced flows before trying to migrate the old profile into the new one?” or will the advanced flow be imported OK even though I haven’t bought Advanced flows on the new Homey yet?
Thanks!
Dashboards and Advanced Flow are included in a Homey Pro 2023. You don’t have to purchase those additionaly.
