how to get started - migration?
hello!
I've read the docs but not sure about a couple of things. At the moment, I have the old HASS.agent service and satellite running with Win10 computer and HA(HAOS). Do I have to uninstall the Windows program and use the new beta? do I have to remove the HA integration also and replace that, also? thanks

From a simple point of view, to test the 2.0.1 version:
1. backup your current "config" folder (there's never enough backups)
2. run the installer, select "migrate" option at the end
3. done...

soo, very good question sice we haven't got the docs "done" yet π
Do I have to unstall the Windows program and use the new beta?No, the fork is a "separate app" you can have both of them installed at the same time (and with some flips here and there even running - I'll get back to it at the end) Installer, after putting all files where they need to be (again, different paths than the original one) will offer you a migration option, this will: 1. stop original HASS.Agent if it's running 2. stop original Satellite Service if it's running 3. change the original Satellite Service to run only on manual trigger (not automatically) 4. copy the config files from the original HASS.Agent to the new one/fork
do I have to remove the HA integration also and replace that, also?No, as of now the fork is compatible with the original "HASS.Agent Integration" found in HACS Now, getting back to having both "HASS.Agents" running at the same time -if you just migrate (either by copying the config files manually or using the migrate option offered by installer) you'll not be able to run them at the same time (they can be installed but not running) - this is because they'll use the same MQTT settings and basically "fight for connection" I can't see a reason for having them both running at the same time but it can be done, just the MQTT config needs to be changed so the connection will be ok (plus I wouldn't recommend having same set of sensors/commands on both of them :D)

new version should launch and that's it (you may want to first disable autostart in the original version if it was enabled)
OK will give it a try
Thanks!
Ill get the docs updated so it includes info about migration
@Anto79-ops @Amadeo You guys posted this one before i updated the bot settings so both of your names are on the community page. They can be removed if you just delete this post, in future don't delete them obviously but right now you can if you want your names/profile pics removed.
Hi,You mean my full name or my username? I'm ok with the latter, but can delete if it affects @Amadeo
