Migrate zwavejs2mqtt & HUSBZB-1 between HA Hardware

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I have a pi 3 running zwavejs2mqtt with a HUSBZB-1 on one HA instance. I also have another HA instance at another house (in proxmox).

I’m moving to the new house and will be taking all current zwave devices to that new property and will use the proxmox instance of HA instead of the existing one on the pi3.

What’s the best way to migrate my zwave configuration between HA instances when using zwavejs2mqtt and a HUSBZB-1 usb?

I do not want to restore a backup because the new property has a different configuration that is already set up. And I’m using zwavejs2mqtt as an interim until the native zwavejs integration gets parity. In the old zwave configuration I would have copied the zwave file between the two and configured it to recognize the usb correctly with same key. Is there something similar when using zwavejs2mqtt?

Goal is to avoid starting from scratch since all current zwave devices will be coming with the HUSBZB-1 usb.

For those interested, the process is extremely simple.

  1. Export the settings and node files directly from the web UI of Z-Wave JS to MQTT
  2. Turn off the old Home Assistant instance
  3. Configure new Home Assistant Instance for Z-Wave USB
  4. Load Z-WAve JS to MQTT
  5. Import original settings
  6. Adjust USB mapping to correct identifier
