Upgrade path for the Homey 2019 Pro user?

[Peter_Kawa]

Hello Provanguard,

[HowTo] Homey Pro (Early 2023) - Migrating from Homey (Pro) (Early 2016-2019)

I see a lot of questions on Slack and here due to mistakes or nor reading. Lets see if we can organize them by topic. I have written a [HowTo] Homey Backup and Restore - Homey Migration before when Backup-Restore came available. Almost everything from the old topic is still true, Add to that: You need a recent successful backup of your other Homey; Not validated, but pretty sure: you can’t migrate back from a Backup if the new Model Homey to a older model Homey! Check all Homey apps on you…

Focus on reliable offline mode.

No clue what “reliable offline mode” should be. Pull the plug would be very reliable.

@provanguard

Ethernet cable preferred over wifi, but wifi could be a secondary protocol as a failover.

That’s the default mode when connected to ethernet.
Do order an ethernet dongle along with a Pro2023

@provanguard

need a solution for voice communication from Heimdall for a newer Homey, which should NOT use wifi or ethernet

Speakers and stuff I know use (W)LAN, Bluetooth or cable.
AFAIK there’s no Bluetooth speaker interface
I also never read about any (USB breakout) audio cable option.
