Z-Wave JS migration to HAOS

[astral shadow]

I need to do a rebuild on my HA due to ARM7 being depricated. The problem is i DD copyed from an old Raspberyy pi to the new one so despite the fract that my Pi can support the OS can not.

My issue is Z-Wave JS. I am currenlty running this in a docker container on my HA. I think i want to migrate to HA OS. The question becomes do I need to do the migration to a new controller steps or can i migrate my controller to the new OS without having to go through all that since i am keeping the same controller?

If you make a backup in ZUI you can restore that later

I am going to ask a dumb question but need to ask it for complete clairty. The conections for Zwave are NOT stored on the controller stick but instead in the zwavejs database?

the network is on the controller

the discovered information about the network is stored in cache files

if you are OK with having to re-interview all your battery devices then you can forego the backup and restore

i am trying to not reinterview everything,

Thank you for the help.

The cache files are the *.jsonl files in the store directory. So you could also copy those over from docker to add-on individually if you want too.
