Re-pair SkyConnect after switching from old SkyConnect?

Configuration Zigbee

Hi everyone! If I ever switch to a new SkyConnect from my old SkyConnect, do I need to re-pair all connected devices? I know for a specific Sonoff-dongle, re-pairing isn’t needed. How about SkyConnect to SkyConnect?

Thank you.

Are you using ZHA or Z2M?

I have used both in the past. This is for a new project, so I’m happy to choose the one that doesn’t require re-pairing in the furure.

@tom_l I’d prefer Z2M, but please tell me the possibilities of not-repairing for both🙏

This applies to replacing any coordinator in Z2M https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/faq/#how-do-i-migrate-from-one-adapter-to-another as you are not changing the chipset you should be good to just copy the IEEE address from the old adapter to the new and update the serial port.
