I needed to factory reset a couple of Aeotec Z-Stick Gen7 controllers before giving them away. The goal was to wipe all Z-Wave network data including paired devices and the Home ID. Unlike the older Gen5 sticks, the Gen7 does not have a physical reset button. The reset must be performed via Z-Wave Serial API commands. NOTE: This procedure erases all network data from the controller including the node list, routing tables, and Home ID.

Installing Home Assistant on Proxmox is relatively straightforward thanks to a script by Whiskerz007 on GitHub. I will not detail the steps here as they are pretty well documented both in the README and on the Home Assitant message boards. This topic is about migrating the data from an existing Home Assistant installation into HassOS. The complication is that HassOS mostly has a read-only file system and for whatever reason SCP is not working correctly.
