I believe staff have said it’s an all-or-nothing thing from just one hub to a new one.

Perhaps not now, but it feels like something that may be a worthwhile addition, if not now.... If not for our current needs... one day... the migration from one hub to another may be a more common thing... including the combination of hubs into one....

I only learned about the C-8 because someone posted a link to its Buy Now link on Facebook, which promptly got removed before I could click on it.
How do you aim the antennae to an on-the-edge target?
I'm assuming side by side, vs, longitudinal? Or, does it matter?
Is one zigbee and the other z-wave?
keep them straight verticle regardless of what position the hub is in

As others have said not possible. I asked about this very scenario here:
This is what I plan to do:
I have a few Quibino relays and they are my least favorite devices and a huge pain in the behind to reset and get into pairing mode. So I will migrate my 80 Zwave devices to the C8 and manually repair my 100 Zigbee devices since zigbee resets are much simpler and my zigbee devices are more accessible than some of my zwave.

Welcome back Almost wished there was a trade in program like cellphones. Get a new HE C8 for $xx after $xx trade in value for C7.

Dammit! 
I just bought a C7 for my son's birthday in Feb to get him of that ST thing.
Past the 30 days and still unopened, hoping we can flip it before the news get out. 
You know I ordered the C-8 yesterday though; I'm hook and they know it!

Both antennas are dual band from what @mike.maxwell stated in the video last night. but is one connector Zigbee and the other ZWave, most likely since they are different chips but maybe they are combined on the circuit board? (don't know enough about this kind of stuff to speculate)

yes.. Connector closest to the usb is Z-Wave .. The other is Zigbee

Same I just bought one recently and Def don't think I could resell the c-7 locally
On the YouTube presentation on Feb 28 I think one of the presenters said "don't plug it into a switch." Does anyone know why?
He meant don't put it on top of the switch due to possible signal interference. It would be pretty hard not to plug it into a switch lol. It's best not to have it on top of other equipment like that but even @mike.maxwell likes to live dangerously lol

The way he said it on YT, almost like an inside joke, I wondered if Mike was thinking someone might plug their C-8 into a switch-controlled receptacle, LOL.
Damm... bought the C7 in Feb and just got done setting it up. Ugghhh

Whenever you decide to get a C-8, you can make use of Hubitat’s cloud backup to restore a C-7 backup on the C-8. Its quick, takes less than 20 mins and doesn’t require any devices to be re-paired.

Thanks. Just wish I waited a few weeks! Just ordered a few zigbee outlets to expand my mesh… probably end up with the same coverage.

Yeah, now what do I do with one of my C-7 hubs?
I do not have any cloud backup options so I assume I can not migrate. Besides, I have between 12 and 20 LAN devices I spent a lot of time getting to work. I could list them if anyone cared.
