Replace ZWave controller

Hi,

I want to replace my old USB stick Aeon Z-Stick S2 with a new Z-Stick Gen5. Want to do this without having to exclude/include all Zwave devices since there is almost 50 devices and some of them are located in places hard to reach.

Found an article från Aeon and some other info from different forums, seems to be a little “hacking” to get it done. At least if you want your new controller to have ID 1 after the change. Is there any support to have a secondary Zwave controller in Openremote or any features that helps doing this a little bit easier?

If anyone done this before and have a hint – everything is welcome.
