Boy have I messed up...

TL;DR - How do I migrate from a Zwave JS server not running on HA to the one on HA

Whelp... I decided to make the switch from Homeseer to HA. Running HS for 15+ years, so I've got a lot to move over. To do it, I decided to run both in parallel for a bit to slowly move my MANY automations etc. to HA. On HS, I run the Zwave-JS plugin. When I installed HA, I mistakenly assumed that the default Z-wave integration was Z-wave JS which, I believe is wrong.

What I just NOW discovered... after running both in parallel for about a month now, is that when I originally installed HA, the default HA Z-wave integration treated my Zwave JS plugin running on HS as a Zwave JS server. So my four Zwave hubs (all four are Zooz USB LR800 sticks. One is plugged into the local machine running HA, the other three are in Znet's over Wifi) showed up fine in HS even though, I now realize, to do it, they ALL point to the HS local IP and then access each stick depending on a Ser2Net port; so 192.168.1.193:3001, 192.168.1.193:3002 etc.

So now I have 143 Zwave devices with a total of 3303 entities apparently slaved to the HS plugin! Yes. I'm a moron. Any suggestions on how to move forward? I've got so many automations and scripts in HA now that wiping and starting against makes me cry.

Is there a way to migrate over to the Z-wave Plus plugin?

Any info appreciated.

Following to see how you resolve 🙂 I am in a similar though not as deep boat (keeping HS around at the moment only because it has a handful of Zwave devices I haven't figured out how to move to HA yet)

@verbal ferry Still working on it. I'll let you know. Basically, it appears that when I installed HA, its Zwave integration found my running HS and used the ZwaveJS server running on HS and pulled all my devices from that. On one hand, that was amazing at it instantly had all the devices I had included in HS Zwave and thus did not have to exclude/include all my Zwave nodes for the new HA setup. What I failed to grasp at the time was that then REQUIRED me to always have HS running (and thus the ZwaveJSUI plug-in) so my HA could talk to the HS ZWaveJSUI server. I confirmed all this by just turning off the plugin in HS and watched ALL my HA Zwave devices go offline. It's a mess... but I'm learning alot... so there's that. 🤣
