Question

I am getting ready to move and have a whole house full of various zwave and zigbee devices. Smartthings, hue, and harmony hubs etc. What do you think would be the best way to do this? Wipe everything and start fresh, or move it all to the new house and plug it in, then do a repair or something?  

Answer 1

Move to the new house. Create WiFi with same SSID . Plug it in and repair as needed

Answer 2

Im in the same boat, moving next week. I think my plan is to rip everything out but keep it all paired. Get into the new house, once i get stuff installed ill repair the zwave network and the zwave networks. i have so many automations that if i remove everything from the hub and pair them back, itll take weeks to get everything reconfigured in the little spare time i will have following a move.

This was my thoughts exactly.

My plan for a long time was to leave it all behind and start from scratch, but the house we are buying has a roughly double the switches we have now, so im going to try and save some money where i can and bring everything. buying 25 switches is a lot cheaper than 50

Fortunately I don't have as many things bolted in as most of our current house does not have a neutral wire. I have tons of bulbs and sensors though.  

Answer 3

Move it

Answer 4

I'd say just move it all. You can use the same Wi-Fi SSID (or worry about it later), Zigbee should sort itself out, and if Z-Wave doesn't work out what is going on you have the repair option. At best it will all work, at worst nothing will work, most likely quite a bit will work, and you'll still have the option of starting afresh.  

Answer 5

Change ST email. Leave it work the house.
