I don't necessarily ask permission. But, I include her in larger purchases because I respect that she and I have shared our resources for going on 37 years. In the beginning, I was an E- nothing in the navy and every penny mattered. Now, not so much. But, in our arrangement, my money is ours and her money is ours. So, it's only a matter of respect that I let her know I'm thinking of a purchase before I make it. Who knows? She might even have input I hadn't thought about.
I took delivery of my new C-8 just 2 weeks ago, for a ST to HE migration, only to get an email announcing the C-8 Pro a week later… I sent them an email saying “C-8 Pro What?” They gave me an RMA, but then I’m also within my 30-day trial. I then asked whether I would need Cloud Protect to migrate my radios, and I was told a migration method without Cloud Protect would be announced very soon. Soon needs to be in time to return the C-8…
Just to clarify, the migration method is from hubitat to hubitat, not ST to hubitat so if you're coming from ST you will have to basically start from scratch.
Sounds more like they migrated to the C-8, found out about and ordered the C-8 Pro, and are trying to return the C-8 before the return period ends. So needing to migrate C-8 -> C-8 Pro. Probably still a valuable clarification for new users.
@mazdaspeed has already completed the C8 to C8 Pro migration. Once Hubitat released the update yesterday to allow a Migration Backup to be created on their C8, they were then able to migrate to the C8 Pro.
That’s correct. As a new adopter to HE and still in my return period and only partially migrated from ST, the $30 price difference is a no-brainer. The C-8 goes back today.
C-8 to C-8 Pro was smooth. Had to clear my browser history to get Remote Admin to see the new hub registered to my account.
Yep, I went ahead and got one, mostly because I've been wanting a cold-spare for my C8 as is, and I can use my old C8 as a cold-spare for a C8-Pro, as Hub Protect backups from a C8-Pro can be restored onto a C8 in a pinch. That way I'm not down for a couple days waiting on a Hub Protect replacement.
Have not seen any posts from you in a long time Mark. Maybe I just missed them. Anyway, it’s nice to see you’re still around. Curious which hub you were upgrading from?
