Need some advice.. I want to purchase a C8 Pro (on sale here in Canada) . I'm doing this for 2 reasons .. #1 I want to play with it, #2 I want help ensure that Hubitat stays in business (my share)..
I have 3 existing hubitats :
#1 Hubitat C8 for zigbee and zwave devices on the top and main floors of my house. Plus it runs WEBCORE
#2 Hubitat C7 for all non Zigbee/Zwave i.e. Arduino wifi devices, ST_Anything, garage door, alarms etc
#3 Hubitat C8 for basement zigbee and zwave devices
All devices on Hubs 2 and 3 are Hubmesh'd to Hub 1 to run under Webcore.
My question : If I get a C8 Pro , any advice of how I may change my configuration - perhaps put Webcore on it alone.. ?
I've noticed lately, that my Hubitat #1 runs low on mem and I get a notification.
My 2 cents: the C8 pro is the highest speced, so it should be doing the heaviest lifting of your hubs. Why don’t you do a complete migration of your hub 1 to the pro and then leave hub 1 as a spare hub in case one of the others goes belly up?

Mattias, I like that suggestion..... can the migration to C8 pro be painless. with all the hubmeshing that i already have ? can i seamlessly move devices from one hub to the other ?
If you closely follow the migration instructions, particularly with regard to webCoRE - the migration is pretty much painless.

I’ll second @thebearmay’s comment. I have a similar multi-hub setup (though without WebCore) and the transition from my previous C-8 to the new C-8 Pro went extremely well.
There is a built-in migration tool for migrating the whole c8 to a c8 pro. Should migrate all your zigbee/z-wave devices, hub mesh settings, apps (including WebCore), cloud integrations etc. Have a look at the documentation here: How to Migrate to a New Hub | Hubitat Documentation
The documentation mentions some precautions to take with WebCore, but I don’t know if there are any further suggestions elsewhere for WebCore. @thebearmay might be able to advise
