New to HA, how to proceed slowly?

Configuration
1

I have a primarily Smartthings setup (~35 devices) in a small condo. I don’t foresee adding many more devices. I also have a few Kasa and Tuya devices.

I have HAOS running on an old, cheap NUC. No problems there.

At this point, I would appreciate some advice. If I’m satisfied with the way things are now,

  1. how soon should I start moving ST to a Zigbee stick, and
  2. when/if I do so, should I move all 35 devices at once or take my time?

Myself, I’d move stuff over by functional area. You’ll have to move the devices over, write and test new automations and template, build dashboards, etc.

You could do hvac first, then lights, etc.
