Hello. Friends, could you please help me? I have two Homeу Pro 2023. On one Homey, I have a lot of flow control with the Gledopto GL-C-008P RGB-CCT LED Controller Mix Pro Zigbee controller. I bought a new Homey and new Gledopto controllers of the same model with the same settings, and I want to transfer all the flow control to the new Homey. I made backups from the old Homey and transferred everything to the new one, but I can’t seem to replace the devices in the flow control.Can anyone help me with this? I need to duplicate everything I have on my old Homey and transfer it to a new Homey with identical hardware. Thanks

About terminology:  
Are these Gledopto units real zigbee controllers, like Homey is a zigbee controller?  
Or are they zigbee enabled LED controllers?

You can duplicate existing flows to a new Homey to use with new identical devices, but, you will have to pair those devices to the new Homey.

This means they get new device ID’s and the flows do not recognise those.  
You’ll have to edit all related flows, and replace the original devices with the new devices.  
This can be done by this brilliant script:

> rotating_lightwarning Use at own risk! warning rotating_light Hi, So I just go a new house and wanted to make my Zigbee network a bit better by removing an re-adding my devices so I get a stable network. But the issue with this is you have to fix all your flows. (Ofcourse [Flow Checker App for Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/a/com.athom.flowchecker/) can indicate the broken flows) I made a small script which can help with fixing the flows. So what do you need: Device ID you would like to update - You can get this via t…

Thanks a lot for the advice. I’ve already followed this script and everything works.
