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 started from scratch when I moved. No regrets. Fair warning, I also upgraded/replaced a lot of stuff, so it made sense to start over.

That is why I'm thinking about starting from scratch. I'm going from a small flat to a house and everything is going to change A LOT. I'd like to move HA from the pi4 to a small home server but that's for later, I have too many thing in my plate right now.

Thanks for your input!
