Hi all, i am thinking of resetting my homey and i wanna start a complete fresh install. At this moment i have several milight bridges for the light bulbs, and some xiaomi sensors, humidity and body sensors and a devolo thermostate. Do i have to exclide them all before setting the homey back to factory settings or not, so i cannot have any problems when i am gonna install al the things again. Thnx 4 all your help! Regards Micha ---

All devices needs to be free, like not included to any controller. So exclude them first or factory reset later but just do it before including them again to Homey. ---
