Well, I’ve had a chance to run through this. Apart from making a mistake at one point, it’s actually fairly straightforward.
The device address tripped me up as I was using /dev/serial/by-id and (obviously) the id of the device changed to the replacement conbee. I have changed this to a physical address to make changing the adapter more straightforward.
Without the mistake, I think the process is as follows:-
- Create snapshot of Hassio and copy to PC
- Create Backup of Conbee config on PC
- Stop live system and power off
- Swap Conbee with standby conbee and Power on rPi
- Check device address is correct. in add-in configuration E.g. /dev/ttyACM0
- Restart add-in
- Restore Phoscon backup from PC
- Devices now seen in deconz (vnc) but no network connections
- Go into hidden advanced config and load correct network config
- Deconz (vnc) now shows network connections.
- All working correctly now
- Reboot rPi to tidy up
