Hi,  
I’m working on some updates to my existing app for Vitrum switches.  
Those switches are basically multichannel devices.  
After pairing, I get one root device icon and multiple endpoint devices icons.

I recently added some capabilities options in the root device:  
“capabilitiesOptions”: {  
“uiComponent”: null,  
“getable”: false  
},

but since there were some already paired switches, those are not being updated.  
Only newly paired devices have right settings.

Is there any way to update existing paired devices to new settings when the App is updated?

Looking forward to your feedback

I guess you must migrate them…
