Hello!

As stated in the title I’m moving to a new house soon™ that will change my home assistant instance a lot.

I was wondering what would be better… Start from scratch or adapt what I have? I have some information in HA that I want to preserve but most of it could go away.

Have you any experiences in this situation? Any insights?

Thank for reading!

    I’d archive my current setup and then start a new one, but port over config as needed.

    A bigger question is, what about the hardware? Generally once is supposed to include anything hardwired with the sale of a house but I can’t really see a new owner wanting a bunch of custom IoT stuff tied to wireless instances and a control system that no longer exists (and neither would be giving them your Linux controller and router likely be great).

    In my place I’d probably end up having to pull a bunch of smart switches and plugs that are running custom firmware and replace them with their “dumb” counterparts
