Shift Primary Z Wave Control to Secondary Stick?

Ok, so I figured out a method which works, although it requires two USB controllers. Controller A will become the primary controller in the end, and controller B will be used as an intermediary.

  1. Plug both USB controllers into a PC, run two instances of the PC Controller software, and configure one for each of the corresponding virtual serial ports.
  2. Join each USB controller to the Hubitat Z-Wave Mesh (Put hub into inclusion mode, press Learn on PC Controller). They will both be Inclusion controllers (secondary) at this point.
  3. Press Shift on controller A, and Learn on controller B. This will make controller B the RealPrimary at it's current node ID (i.e. not node 1).
  4. Turn off the Hubitat
  5. Press Reset on controller A
  6. Using controller B, select node 1 and press IsFailed, then press Replace Failed
  7. Press Learn on controller A. Now controller A will be node 1, and will be joined as a secondary Controller
  8. Press Learn again on controller A, and press Shift on controller B. Controller A will now become the RealPrimary, and controller B will go back to being secondary.

Now you have a static controller (A) at node 1 with the full Z-Wave network copied over from Hubitat. To get it to function properly in another system (e.g. HA) you just copy over the security keys, and everything works.
