Hello, I am currently using the first-generation RPi for HASS and I want to switch to RPi 3B because it’s slow, it is constantly jamming and destroying my SD card. How can I migrate the entire system to a newer HW without losing all settings, automation, scripts, and integration? There is really power and it will not just be enough to copy YAML files.
I am a Windows user and I run it through my browser.
Thank you
Migrating Home Assistant should really be as simple as copying your .homeassistant directory to the new installation.
If you are migrating to a RPi3B+ i would highly suggest using an external harddrive… i have had major issues with the recorder writing too much too fast and crashing my HA. I decided to use and external enclosure and a 256gb SSD with my RPi3B+. Best decision I’ve made so far. Next upgrade for me will be a NUC.
How can i get .homeassistant? Over FTP i can copy only config and backup folders.
What platform/OS are you running HA on?
Hassio on Raspberry Pi 1st gen
You should be able to load the Samba component and open it up through your network via explorer or other shared folder means
