Some people are going to find reasons to migrate a Z-Wave network by hand from one Hubitat Elevation hub to another one. There are steps you can take that will make this a little bit easier than just starting over. In particular, one wants to preserve automations that use Z-Wave devices, and not h…

Perfect, thanks you for clarifying!

[image] bertabcd1234: a new Z-Wave implementation that includes new features, most notably S2 security. Right now, S2 is readily available in new Devices but when I started using a C-7 there were few devices I owned that had S2. I have more now, because I spent the $$ to get some. Especially …

So, I got my C-7 all set up with tons of rules involving my 50+ devices. Since most were new, they had S2 security and I followed the directions that said "don't mess with the following checkboxes unless you know what you're doing"--so I left things checked. However, I'm having second thoughts--a…

Ok.. wow. .Yea.. that won't work.. You could: Factory reset the device Use refresh to get the device marked as failed Then use the replace button to re-include

So, following that logic.... for a new replacement device, could you do the same? Getting ready to replace about 10 GE/Jasco switches with Inovelli... Was already thinking of just pulling out each switch (One at a time), installing the Inovelli switch, then running refresh till it failed and using…

Same here. Lucky I read your post. :sweat_smile:

What might be the ramifications of not resetting a Z-Wave device when moving it to a C7. In Bruce's original instructions he lists one step as "Reset the device". I have some older devices that have been working fine for some year or so. However these devices (Linear WD500Z-1 dimmers) are real f…

Z-wave devices are "bound" to their hub. At the very least, you need to do an "exclude" for the device before you can join it to a new hub. And, you want to be careful where/how you exclude it so it doesn't wipe out a bunch of rules.

Thanks I'll give that a shot. For exclusion I have an S2 stick.

[image] JohnRob: Is not resetting even doable? Personally I wouldn't advise it, there are certain things that get programmed on a join and if they are blocked or another one is set up wrong it can go wrong. It's expects it to be default and by not being that it can and has caused issues for m…
