C4 to C8 - Upgrade Process?

One thing that exists now that didn't back then that should make this process a bit easier is the this tool:

So, you can pair the new Z-Wave device, swap it out with the "old" one using this tool, then remove the old one. (You might need to edit the DNIs before pairing new devices...I'm really not sure what the hub will do when there's a conflict between what the radio wants and what already exists in your database. Maybe put an "X" or "_" or something in front of all your Z-Wave device DNIs from the restore first just in case? Sort of one step in these original instructions, but minus the need to do any further dancing around with them.)

Zigbee, as before, should fall back into place without this; but you'll still need to re-pair.

LAN and cloud integrations should work as described in the regular migration instructions (and as with previous migrations); most are easy to reconnect, though some may require something from you.
