The migration path from Homey Pro 2019 I believe is only supported to Homey Pro 2023 [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360011315299-Migrating-data-between-two-Homey-Pros](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/360011315299-Migrating-data-between-two-Homey-Pros) [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/9302284997660-Migrating-data-from-Homey-Pro-2016-2019-to-Homey-Pro-Early-2023](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/9302284997660-Migrating-data-from-Homey-Pro-2016-2019-to-Homey-Pro-Early-2023) ---

Ok thanks. - but oh my god šŸ™‚ Major set back and that is going to be a lot of workā€¦. Hopefully / maybe there is a trick to do it somehow. ---

Not really, your device idā€™s wont be the same. You have to do it from scratch. ---

Odd. The Pro mini shares itā€™s firmware with Pro 2023. Itā€™s important to use the same account, @MiniUser, otherwise it canā€™t detect your stored backups; When you start the setup, and add the Pro mini to the Homey app, at some point the menu should mention it found a backup \> Choose ā€œRestore a backupā€ and select your cloud backup.

This can be restored to a Pro 2023, and I donā€™t know why it wouldnā€™t be possible to restore it on a Pro mini, it runs on same firmware. ---

I think the hardware footprint (lack of some antenna hardware features) is impacting compatibility. ---

Possible, maybe throwing in a bridge to add these antennaā€™s again might help šŸ«£ Just a brainfart. ---

This doesnā€™t really make sense, as it _is_ possible to migrate from the older HPā€™s to the HP2023 that way. It sounds more like an oversight, or Athom thinking that since the older HPā€™s were never officially sold in North America there wouldnā€™t be anyone migrating from an HP2019 to a HP Pro Mini. As for the antennaā€™s: HP2019 has a Zigbee chip thatā€™s incompatible with the HP2023 Zigbee chip, yet they made that migration work. ---

Fair enough, but that was not when they released it. They made it working after a while. I think itā€™s a last effort push back on having the mini enter the European market. šŸ˜… ---

Hello again šŸ™‚ Kindly Can I ask a follow-up question on this one? I would like to migrate from HP2019 to Homey Pro Mini - but apparently it is not supported. BUTā€¦ if I use a Homey Pro 2023 as an intermediate - Might it work? Meaning: Migrating (restoring the 2019-backup) to a Homey Pro 2023. - and then migrating (restoring a Homey Pro 2023-backup) to the Homey Pro Mini. Would that work ? Did anyone actually do the latter part and/or know if that is supported? Thanks a lot in advance for all answers !!
