I'm assuming everyone has Zigbee2MQTT, but what do you all have beyond that?

I've been curious to try Z2MQTT. What's holding me back is the amount of work involved in switching over. I have 90-something devices paired with ZHA. As far as I am aware, this would require re-pairing all 90 of them individually with Z2MQTT and then re-configuring every automation that uses ZHA (basically all of them). Did you find a way to automate the process?

I did it manually (~50 devices at the time). If there is a way to automate it, I am not aware.

On the bright side, it was a good chance to update the names on all the devices so they follow the same naming convention.

Then of course, I needed to update all automations and Dashboards to use the new device names.
