Frustrated

Hi @beckwith,

While I posted this for a v2 to v2 migration, it should still apply for a v1:

Being sent a replacement hub, how do I migrate?

@R2D2 OK, here you go! First: I left my old v2 hub alone. I removed nothing and deleted nothing. It was up and running until the very end. I added the new v2 hub as a new location via the phone app using the Welcome Code that came with it. Now I have 2 v2 hubs on my home network. I took screen shots of every smartapp installed on the old hub, as well as capturing the device and Room list into a spreadsheet to do a before/after compare when I was all done. So far so good. Next: After letting the new hub sit for a couple days and monitoring the Event Log, I moved it to it’s final location. Moved the old hub to another room with a network port. On the old hub, I removed every single device from every single SmartApp - SHM, Smart Lighting, Rule Machinne, etc, etc., and then I uninstal…

Zwave repair is very important. In fact, I haven’t done a zwave repair in many months, even after adding a couple over the last couple months.
