Migration from Conbee to Conbee II

[steeriks]

Hi,

What is the recommended way to migrate from Conbee to Conbee II?
I asume I have to reset all devices and repair it with the new gateway. Or is there an easy way to do it?

This for sure is the most clean way.

There is one simpler way (cloning).

Two important notes:

1. There is no Zigbee related technical advantage in replacing ConBee with ConBee II
2. After the following cloning procedure the ConBee can't be used next to ConBee II since they are clones on Zigbee level and would fight each other. This can only be fixed by assigning a new or random mac address in deCONZ.

Cloning

• Pull out the ConBee and replace with ConBee II (must be on the same machine).
• In the Phoscon App gateway settings open the hidden Zigbee configuration page and load the last configuration, this is shown in the following release notes

https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/releases/tag/V2_05_59

After this ConBee II should use the same Zigbee network parameters as the setup of the ConBee.

Hi,

Pull out the ConBee and replace with ConBee II (must be on the same machine). is that supposed to be done while deConz is running?
