FYI, it should now also be easy to migrate (using backup and restore process/metod) as well as reset adapters via TubeZB’s zigpy-cli tools add-on if using Z2M with Home Assistant:

github.com

tube0013/tubeszb_addons/blob/188fa9484746595ddf2e18e1ad4a8df65c6e2c53/tzb-zigpy-cli-tools/DOCS.md

# TubesZB Add-on: Zigpy-CLI Tools Add-on

## Installation

Click on the button below:

[![Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.](https://my.home-assistant.io/badges/supervisor_add_addon_repository.svg)](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_add_addon_repository/?repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Ftube0013%2Ftubeszb_addons)

Or, in your Home Assistant, navigate to _Configuration_ > _Add-ons, Backups & Supervisor_ > _Add-on Store_ > _..._ > _Repositories_ and add `https://github.com/tube0013/tubeszb_addons` to the list.

1. Navigate in your Home Assistant frontend to **Settings** -> **Add-ons, Backup & Supervisor** -> **Add-on Store**.
2. Find the "TubesZB Zigpy-CLI Tools" add-on and click it.
3. Click on the "INSTALL" button.

## How to use

Note! If plan on migrating to a new adapter then best practice is to upgrade firmware on new adapter before migrating.

You of course also need to chang the serial port (as well as the baud rate speed and adapter type if needed) in Zigbee2MQTT configuration file so that it matches the new adapter.

PS: Off-topic; Tip is to use respective CC2652 Flasher or Silabs Flasher from TubesZB add-ons or ZigStar add-ons for upgrading adapter firmware if migrating to a Texas Instruments or Silicon Labs adapter.
