AP-123 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm replacing a dead HC-800. Swapping with another is simple with a backed up project but what if I upgrade to an EA-5? Will it require programming from scratch or can I restore the project from the HC-800? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcovach Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 There's a correct way to do it so that you don't have to start from scratch. This method will also migrate your zigbee mesh over so you don't have to re-id all the devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP-123 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Would you mind elaborating? Is there a process for this in composer? Where? ThanksSent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcovach Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 There are KB articles on this for dealers or installers with access. It's not a 'click once an done' method. I don't mean to rub it in but you're asking a pro question in a diy forum. Try dealer forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstafford388 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Ok, so you can't migrate a project unless your system is currently working and you can log into the current director. Based on the fact that his 800 is dead i'm going to say that's not an option. You will not have to program this from scratch but you will absolutely need your dealer to do this for you. It shouldn't be a difficult task for any half decent dealer as long as there is a backup of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 If you have an accurate backup and cannot do a migration you will have to re-identify the zigbee devices otherwise the process is pretty easy. Keep in mind you may need to deal with any 3rd party purchased drivers with the new controller but you would be doing that anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
