Hello!

As stated in the title I’m moving to a new house soon™ that will change my home assistant instance a lot.

I was wondering what would be better… Start from scratch or adapt what I have? I have some information in HA that I want to preserve but most of it could go away.

Have you any experiences in this situation? Any insights?

Thank for reading!

    Starting from scratch even if everything is nearly the same since HA changes so fast it will clean out any conversions, backward naming standards etc.

    I think the way my z-wave devices where named by default has changed 3 times since I have been using HA early on. HA migrated these names each time, but new devices show up differently. Also all sorts of deprecated stuff still in parts of my config etc.

    I will probably be moving in the next year and plan to replace a lot of my BASE devices with more reliable options then layer in the old ones, or the old ideas with new devices.
