Can I move an existing Zigbee to a new HA box by just moving the dongle?

I’m looking to move my existing Zigbee network to a new physical HA box.

Can I simply install ZHA (they’re all currently via ZHA), plug in my Conbee dongle, and get up and running without needing to repair each device?

I moved from an odroid to a Intel NUC and used the backup → restore method to transfer over and everything worked like before. I had a Nortek HUBZ dongle and didn’t have to repair any zigbee or zwave devices. I can’t verify with anything else but my experience was pretty seamless.

I ended up just doing this, and then removed integrations I won’t be using. This actually worked out well as it also brought over my TP Link switches and automations associated with those.
