I would like to move C4 dongle to a C7

[woodsy]

I have searched, thought that there was a splitter cable to allow the dongle to move over and be used with a C7. Move the database over and no having to re pair devices.
It would allow me to keep the dongle suspended in mid air and out of the pile of electronics that have occurred.

Thanks!

So, I have a C4, Should I Upgrade

I assume based on what I have read, that there is minimum benefit to going to the c7. But my mind says, that future software might require the c7 (such as the new zwave repair). So I ask the community, should I get a C7

OK. I have just got my new C7 - upgrading from C4

... Any and all advice please! I have seen a few older threads, but things move slow in the UK LOL. H4 was bought from Czech Republic and has dual dangly bits for Zwave and Zig. I was chuffed to bits with it (still am) but thought time to pull trigger on the 7, OMG it's tiny. i have about 30 Zwave devices, mostly fibaro lights (Switch inside wall sockets) but also some hanks lights Fib wall plugs and ton of Xiaomi sensors, maybe 40. I also have a few Ikea motion sensors (bollocks to them) …

C4 to C7 - Successful migration

Can you guess the day I upgraded from the C4 to C7? [image] Super happy with the C7 running all the same apps and same devices. No issues here and all my automations are snappy again. Thanks Hubitat Team!!

C4 to C7 Zwave Woes

I finally completed the migration from C4 to C7 (latest firmware). What a process! I have about 100 devices (Lutron switches, Zigbee sensors, and Zwave plugs and switches) so the process was over a month and hours of pairing and long patch cables (side note, why the heck is the C7 not allowed to plugin to a POE port per their manual....that is annoying as all my switches are POE). My C4 was a rock star, but I wanted to upgrade as I was fearful of it crashing at some point and there is no backu…

This will not work on a C-7. The C-7 only supports the internal radio. The only use for such a cable on a C-7 (which also works on a C-5) would be adding a Wi-Fi adapter.

This does work on a C-5, either for users outside North America who need a different frequency (the built-in C-5 radio was only for North America) or anyone who wanted to do it for whatever reason, including moving from a C-3/C-4 or other C-5 with this setup.

Rats!
I had hoped.
Now i will have to hope it survives till the C8's are available.
This will be the 3rd on this dongle, i only have one more to move into this slot.
That one can be replaced easily with a C7 if i have to.
To much sitting on top of each other...
5xC4, 4xC7, wifi extender, hue hub, 8 port switch, 18" x 14" board balanced on an APC UPS650, throw in a couple of smart plugs!
Dongles ( x3 ) are on the best USB cables i could get, spread abd suspended well above.
Inside concrete block building, many devices in metal sheds, some out 250'.

All I have to do is disable the internal C-5 zigbee and Z-wave radios and use the dongle from the C-4? This will allow me to use both zigbee and z-wave from the dongle?

Not even disable; it will just use them if plugged in.
