I have a v3 hub but wanted to get the new one & my question is can I move everything from the old hub to new one without repairing eveything & only my zwave devices would be left over?
Thanks
Dom
I don’t believe it works that way currently. Hub Replace moves everything to a comparable hub AND then REMOVES the old one from your account.
@jkp did u get the new hub yet?
yes, I got the new V4 without z-wave. But I have no z-wave devices. 
So what could I do if I wanted the new hub but keep old one for zwave? I still have a few devices so its going to be awhile before I can replace them. Any suggestions?
in your scenario, it looks like you will set up the new hub and manually move non z-wave devices to it. You will need to set up any Driver Channels for those devices that you had set up on the old hub. You can find those in the Advanced Web App under the old hub. Any linked services shouldn’t require any action.
maybe ST Staff have better advice tagging @nayelyz @Itati
I think it would be great (if possible) for ST to build a tool that allows users to move devices from one hub to another.

Thank you @jkp . Sounds like a bit if work to reset & pair but probably worth it in the end. Food for thought.
Hi, I checked with our engineering team, and unfortunately partial migration isn’t supported.
The Hub Replace process always transfers the entire network from the old hub to the new one, and there’s no way to migrate only selected devices.
If you want only certain devices on the new hub, those would need to be moved manually by resetting and re-adding them.

Ouch….thank you.
Assuming (possibly a big assumption!) that your zwave devices are in the minority you could do
Option A:
Migrate all from old hub to new , this will reset your old hub, but you could set the old one up and add the zwave devices and routines back on it. All your other devices and routines would be migrated to the new hub and won’t need reworked.
Option B: add new v4 hub but don’t do replace, instead manually remove FROM V3 and reinstall all the NON zwave devices on hub v4.
If zwave devices are the majority of your setup the option a might be best, if they are in the minority option b will be best.
Also note that routines using a mix of zwave and non zwave would require devices from 2 hubs and therefore won’t run locally but will run in the cloud (that’s my understanding at any rate).

Ill figure something out. Sucks nothing can ever be easy.

Having done this a few weeks back, I found the only way to achieve it was to do it manually. As it is now I can’t see any advantage to move . “Upgraded”. From
The old v2 to a new home hub 2 and there is no advantage at all. If anything given that I’ve Z wave on one hub and ZigBee etc on the other they no longer communicate locally, Which is a step backwards for me.
The only positive is thread network support and the unify option, If I had a few thread devices this could be a good thing.
