Personally I did the following.

1. Take a backup of my C4 to my PC.
2. Get the C7 all powered up and ready to go.
3. Load the C4 backup on to my C7. (Do a soft reset and load your C4 external backup).
4. Go to all my zigbee devices and re-pair then. They will be found as an existing device and will work to all your exiting rules.
   Now for the tricky bit.
5. Follow Bruces guide (need to find the thread) on how to get your existing Z-Wave devices paired to your C7 hub. Using this method you do not have to re-write any rules, they will be picked up by the existing rules.
   This is very time consuming but does work.

Be extra careful and do one z-wave device at a time as you can get ghost devices. Check the z-wave device page reguarly.

Here's the thread I was talking about above.

There are steps you can take that will make this a little bit easier than just starting over. In particular, one wants to preserve automations that use Z-Wave devices, and not have to redo them. This would useful for migrating from a C-4 to a C-7. For C-5 to C-7, one can use the Hub Protection Service and avoid all of this work. First of all, familiarize yourself with thi…
