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.
