Although the 7 is out, I thought I'd use this an opportunity to finally upgrade to a the 500 series card I picked up a while back, so I can see the process when the 7 becomes available here. I have an old (but reliable) setup which has served very well.
I'm upgrading from a raspberry pi 2 ZW0301 to a raspberry pi 5 ZW0500. I went into the expertUI on the rpi2 and did a backup. it created a z-way-backup-2024-03-25-22-29.zbk file. I then shut down that pi, and booted up the newer one. I went into the ExpertUI and did a restore, including the topology.
All the devices populated in the rpi5, but, nothing can be controlled. I tried to update them, but communication failed and the date turned red. I did a poweroff and poweron, but the same result. I then powered down the rpi5 and powered back up the rpi2, and fortunately I can control them. I'm doing a couple of upgrades at the same time. Version of zwave board, version of rpi, and version of software. Any advice anyone has so I can upgrade the aging rpi2 and software version would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Upgrade using the backup/restore, no access to devices on new zwave
Re: Upgrade using the backup/restore, no access to devices on new zwave
Just an update to this. The frequency was set to EU, and I had no option to change it. I found this command from a previous post and was able to change my frequency to US and I can change devices now!
