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 recently moved, and did not start over from scratch, as I had most of the same rooms/sensors/setup. It went well! I added in new rooms and sensors as necessary. I did recently move from the Nortek combined stick to a separate SONOFF 3.0 for Zigbee and a Zooz 800 stick for Z-Wave, which also went well, but left things named a bit oddly. Reading some of the other comments about how often they blow out their environment makes me think maybe I should!
