[pre-noob] What's the process for migrating from, in my case, Alexa, Smart Life to Home Assistant? (reddthat.com)

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.

FWIW, you can run all the services simultaneously, so that you can gradually move.

It's what I'm doing. I use echo, home, and HA all at the same time.

That's very well received. Thank-you.

I have only a small place but being without some items would be disconcerting. Most of my set-up is in Tuya/Smart Life on WiFi.

I'm trying to learn podman/containers to make it possible.

Good luck!
