This. At this point I don’t think a “we are shipping orders XXX through YYY this week, and orders up to ZZZZ are a part of the first batch” is too much to ask.

Man, I got pushed back to October 14th as well. 
Due to receive my Yellow shortly, maybe.
Have been running HA on Pi3 for months without issue and happy with my set up. Is there any sort of guide about how to move my install from the Pi to the Yellow please?
I assume it’s just like every other migration,
-install ha on the new device
-backup ha on the old device (full backup)
-restore ha on the new device.
and it’s done.
in my case I actually need to exclude the mediafolder because it’s to big to backup.
that gives you an error on restoring and HA starting in safe mode.
you can then manually create the folder using the cli or have the folder removed from mediadirs in configuration.yaml
Super, that doesn’t sound too bad at all, if that is the case.
Is there then a further process for making use of the onboard hardware and decommissioning all the hubs I have about the place? I think this is one of the main reasons I looked at the Yellow, but not sure
I don’t know, I don’t have my yellow yet.
In the releaseparty of (I think) August, they were talkaing about replacing zigbee addresses and channels.
on 1:19:21
And maybe some trail on error.
if you have wifi devices, in your router modify the address so your new yellow gets the old ip and devices should connect automaticcaly
What hubs? Be more specific 
Hue,
Tado,
Have some Tradfi switches but no hub, so hoping to get those working…
Yepp, here:
https://yellow.home-assistant.io/
Backup the old install and restore it on the new unit once is up and running.

See here.
Hue, you can use your existing hub or move your hue devices to zigbee using ZHA and the inbuilt card,
As I understand it, you’ll still need your tado hub.
Looks like all the approvals are through now on the PoE version. Hopefully now there is not too much in the way :).
I heard the Aeotec Z Pi 7 will drop straight in for ZWave and that the ZWaveMe Razberry 7 will likely work as a direct drop in on the small header on the Yellow.
Does anyone know of any other Rasberry Pi ZWave modules that would be compatible?
@HugosDad
The only thing to watch if you do transfer from one device to another (ie Pi 3 to Yellow) is to make sure your Zigbee (if you use it) network is backed up using the new backup process and restore that to the new HA instance.
ZWave should move across if you use the same ZWave stick, if you use Zwave devices.
WiFi and Bluetooth devices should migrate with the standard HA Backup.
Thanks, everything is wifi just now.
Will get stuck in to Zigbee and ZWave once I got the Yellow and added anything I need

You should have absolutely no issues then. Full backup, then restore the backup.
If you are not already using it, there is a nice add-on that uses Google Drive to store backups in the cloud. This makes it even easier as you can just directly drop your backup onto the new instance.
Not my addon, but I have used it for several years.
Hue is not wifi.
It is as far as HA is concerned if he’s using the Hue hub/integration.

He was asking about using the yellow instead of the Hue hub.
And anyway the hue hub is not wifi, at least mine isn’t, it has an ethernet port.
@jerrm
Hue is NOT WiFi, but if Hue globes are in the Hue Bridge and Hue Integration and not stand alone Zigbee, then they will migrate with a standard backup.
Please do not confuse people. Home Assistant 100% does NOT treat Hue as WiFi, it is its own integration via a Wired connection. It may be using network, but it is not WiFi.
Integrations for various devices do not equal WiFi unless they are specifically WiFi devices. Hue is a wired HUB using its own API and ZigBee Mesh.
Edit: I repeated myself a few times. Still, gets the point across

Been so long since I dumped everything Hue (except for the motion sensors) I forgot the hub was wired only.
Wifi or wired, the integration is IP based and has nothing to do with HA’s zigbee, which I think was @HugosDad point in his response.
