Moving to new house. Start from scratch or reuse? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello!

As stated in the title I'm moving to a new house soon(tm) that will change my home assistant instance a lot.

I was wondering what would be better... Start from scratch or adapt what I have? I have some information in HA that I want to preserve but most of it could go away.

Have you any experiences in this situation? Any insights?

Thank for reading!

i start by making a detailed plan first. without more information on what you have its really hard to say. but for anything recent id probably try and keep while ditching the older stuff. theres nothing wrong with saving money where you can but trying to migrate an existing setup can be a pain too.
