Hey all, I recently purchased a ZWA-2 and can't wait to get all the benefits that the 800 series devices offer. I'm currently coming from a Nortek HUSBZB-1, so there's really no easy path for migration. My question is: What is the best method for moving all my devices (57 of them... Yikes) over to the ZWA-2? Off the top of my head, I can think of 2 ways: 1. Keep the 500 series Z-wave stick installed and exclude each device, one by one from the Z-wave JS Integration, then remove any straggler entities, and then go around and add each one back to the new ZWA-2 Z-wave network. Or: 2. Remove the 500 series stick and plug in the new WZA-2, use that to exclude and include each device one at a time. Both methods would seemingly work, but the first one sounds like it might be "cleaner." Any guidance on what the best practice would be? Or perhaps there is a 3rd way I'm not considering, I'm all ears. Hardware setup: HassOS VM running on an ESXi server on an Intel NUC. USB passthrough configured on the VM settings, USB plugged into the Intel NUC. Thanks in advance 🙂

Both should work, I think the question is if you need to control the old network while you're doing the migration

Nah, I don't need the old one while doing this

In that case doing all the exclusion and re-including with the ZWA-2 is probably easier
