Hubitat C8 platform 2.3.7.128

My four-year-old HUE hub is failing. I must replace it with a newer Hue hub and connect it to my Hubitat hub. Both are the square Hue hubs. Is there a way to replace the hub without having to disconnect all the lights and reconnect them? Do you have any recommendations about this replacement?

Officially, no, but some third-party apps claim to have this ability. Here's one:

I have never used this and cannot speak to if or how it works personally.

(If I were to do this, I would probably just start over -- so many odd things left over from my v1 Bridge setup that I never use anymore, and maybe a chance to organize my scenes better, but I certainly understand the appeal!)

Thanks,

I replaced the Hue bridge last night as a fresh install. Disconnecting the lights and maintaining the automation I used took only a few hours. Most of the time was spent making sure I had all of the automation recorded.
