I have a C-4 hub with Z-wave devices that I'd like to migrate only selected devices and apps to my C-7 hub. The reason being, I started using my C-7 hub a few months ago and now have 7 new apps and devices on it, while my C-4 has 19 devices and 11 apps. When I bought the C-7, I tried doing a full …

[image] olliesshop: there's no way to do a "selective" restore, that would only load some of the devices/apps and leave my existing C-7 devices/apps alone? That is correct for both local backup, as well as cloud backup under Hub Protect.

That sounds like a good plan. So did you end up having to manually add the devices and apps to your C-7? I've tried using Hub Mesh, by selecting just one device to sync. It then shows up on the C-7. But when I turned off Hub Mesh on the C-7, it greyed out and wouldn't let me save it.

Bummer, but that's what I anticipated. Is there a way to use Hub Mesh to accomplish this?

Yes but I could take my time with the migration so that helped. [image] olliesshop: But when I turned off Hub Mesh on the C-7, it greyed out and wouldn't let me save it. I'm not sure I understand this - you set up hub mesh on the C-7 and expose the devices you want to the C-4, on the C-4 you…

[image] olliesshop: Hub Mesh to accomplish this Think of Hub Mesh as a bridge between two hubs. You can share devices but not apps. With mesh networks such as Zigbee and Z-wave, the more devices you connect to one radio, the stronger the mesh becomes. Also running two mesh networks (or more) …

I exposed the C-4 devices to the C-7 and they showed up. I added them individually using step 6 in the linked doc.

Ah okay sorry you were referring to the "hub mesh enabled" option on the device property page. NOTE: To link to the shared device, you will use the Link to remote devices drop-down list on the hub where you want the linked device to be available as described above in Step 4 .

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm struggling with how do I "bring the 19 devices over to the C7". It sounds like I'm missing something obvious.

Yes, I was trying the "hub mesh enabled" option. [image]

Can I migrate just 1 app to C-7 hub vs. a full migration/restore?

Something you might want to consider is picking up an inexpensive UZB-7 that you can pair as a secondary controller.
