I use Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant with a Conbee 2 stick and looked for a way to migrate to my new Conbee 3 stick. @Hedda: Thanks for the hint! |

FYI, should now be easy to migrate (backup and restore) adapter via TubeZB’s zigpy-cli tools add-on if using Z2M with Home Assistant: https://github.com/tube0013/tubeszb_addons/blob/main/tzb-zigpy-cli-tools/DOCS.md Note! If plan on migrating to a new adapter then best practice is to upgrade firmware on new adapter before migrating. You of course also need to change both the serial port as well as the baud rate speed in Zigbee2MQTT configuration file. I believe ConBee II uses 57600 baudrate + hardware flow control and the new ConBee III uses 115200 baudrate and no flow control. Example from:

PS: Off-topic; Tip is to use respective CC2652 Flasher or Silabs Flasher from TubesZB add-ons or ZigStar add-ons for upgrading adapter firmware if migrating to a Texas Instruments or Silicon Labs adapter (as none of those have been tested with ConBee based adapters). |

Hello everyone, The backup seems to work. I get one or two warnings about unknown devices but that's it. I change my settings, including the baudarate, and start the zigpy-cli addon. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Hoping someone can help me out here, I've researched the procedure and it looks straight forward. I'm running Hassio on a pi4 with z2m addon and also installed zigpy-cli tools by TubesZB. I've just bought a conbee3 to replace my conbee2 and have performed an update on the conbee2 to 0x26780700 and update on the conbee3 to 0x26450900, both latest versions from here. Afterward with both sticks plugged, I ran a backup of the json config from conbee2 as well as conbee3. I then ran a restore of the same filename from conbee2 to the conbee3 and get the following error:
If i run a compare between the two json files, is there a way to modify the config files to make this work on the conbee3 config that i backed up by moving some parameters over? I suspect I would only really need to align the network_key parameter? Unfortunately I'm kinda stuck from here, any advice appreciated. |

Is it possible to migrate back and forth between ConBee II (ConBee 2) and ConBee III (ConBee 3) using zigpy for backup and restore?
This question has been raised by Zigbee2MQTT users in Home Assistant’s community forum, see:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-iii-conbee-3-from-dresden-elektronik-based-on-silicon-labs-efr32mg21-20dbm-radio-soc-mcu/649835
and
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/z2mqtt-transfer-from-conbee-2-to-3/662002
This question has also been posted in Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) community however I think that it is a relevant question for all zigpy users:
Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt#19785
For reference, also see these indirectly related discussions with information on migrating from ConBee II (ConBee 2) to an ezsp adapter:
#24
Note that before migration you will always need to upgrade the firmware on your old ConBee/RaspBee adapter before doing a backup! (That is however not needed if backing up an old Silicon Labs or Texas Instruments based Zigbee Coordinator).

PS: I do not own a ConBee II (ConBee 2) and ConBee III (ConBee 3) myself so just asking as a discussion about using zigpy-cli for migrations as Zigbee2MQTT users are currently using it as a stand-alone command-line tool for migration between deconz adapter (ConBee/RaspBee) and ezsp adapter because backups for those are not yet supported in the zigbee-herdsman library that Z2M depends on.
