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'm really thinking about starting from scratch. The rabbit hole kind of scares me but at the same time it's exciting 😂.

I think I have room to grow in the new home and I always try to get things with local integration and as open source as possible.

My setup right now is in a small flat, with 3 or 4 automations and a very small amount of sensors. The new home is going to be very very different. I have a lot of plans, maybe too many of them. So maybe staying from scratch is the way to go.

Thanks for your input
