Hello!

As stated in the title I’m moving to a new house soon™ that will change my home assistant instance a lot.

I was wondering what would be better… Start from scratch or adapt what I have? I have some information in HA that I want to preserve but most of it could go away.

Have you any experiences in this situation? Any insights?

Thank for reading!

    i went from an apt to a house and debated this. i did not start from scratch. i had to move some devices to different areas, but a lot of the same automations i liked i was able to move over and just change some devices. my dashboards changed of course to accodate a different space but naming of things was still familiar, all the add ins, and other stuff was still there, just a lot less to have to set up again.

    for me there’s a ton of little things that probably i would have to re-learn to set up, easier just to leave it be and move it around to whatever new room it needs to be in.
