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! ---

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.

> [@Pat\_M](#): > > re-buy Dashboards and Advanced flows before trying to migrate the old profile into the new one? 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. ---
