I actually got it working by not clicking detect and just selecting the zstick and clicking ok with the version and description being blank. I just joined it to m ycurrent C5 as a test.
Out of curiosity, before I start migrating, is there a way to see the neighbor table like what the C7 can show?
So what do we do with those apps/devices that get migrated over when transferring the database? Delete them off the new hub so they can be re-created new?
It also sounds like my Zen30s won't transfer this way since the relay is a child device.
You could keep your old hub and use that for cloud/network/mobile apps/devices.. then use HubMesh to share as needed. That's what I am doing. Lightens the load off the main hub(s) a bit.
I've been trying to reproduce this, as I realized the Ilumins I have are paired with S0. I've not been able to get them added using the minimote. I guess I'll get a z-stick.
FYI for anyone else doing this, I've encountered a couple of devices that don't work or only partially work after reassigning the network ID, but if they're paired as a new device and left that way, they do work. About half of my Jasco Motion Dimmers/Switches (one of each) worked as a dimmer/switch after doing the ID swap but never reported motion. Removing and re-adding as a device and leaving them in place got both switch and motion successfully.
Similarly, one of my contact sensors didn't report events after swapping IDs, but removing and re-adding got it working.
I believe that two types of devices have been noted (perhaps in this thread) by @bravenel as not supporting this migration method:
(1) parent / child devices. I have the Jasco 26931 and 26933 Smart Motion diners/switches where the motion sensor and dimmer/switch are child devices of the parent, using Jason Bottjen’s (@JasonJoel’s) excellent Component drivers, and a Zooz ZEN16 MultiRelay. I had to exclude and include them, as you did, because the DNI swap didn’t work.
(2) devices that are included securely, such as locks and perimeter contact sensors. I had to exclude and include them, as you did, because the DNI swap didn’t work.
The Smart Motion Dimmers surprise me primarily, because I'm using the built-in support which exposes them as a single device. I agree, if they're exposed as child devices, then this wouldn't be expected to work.
This is a HUUUUUGE Help! Thanks for posting the steps for manual Z-Wave migration, they're working like a charm so far. I've been running my C-4 since 2018 with next to no issues. I figured it was time to modernize.
