I just purchased a new Z Stick Gen 5 but I am currently running the older one. Is there an easy way to transfer all my devices to the new stick? Or do I have to remove the devices from the old and then re-add to the new?
Anyone who has done this, please advise.
Thanks in advance.

It is best if you removed all the devices and re-add them.
The easiest way is to reset the current USB controller, remove the C:\ProgramData\ZWave\zwave.sdf file and stop the ICHA service. Then put either one of your USB controllers in excluding mode (press the button twice until the light flashes faster) and go around to each device and press the inclusion/exclusion button in each zwave device to have them reset back to default.
Then go around with the new Gen 5 controller and add each device. Plug it into the usb on the computer, and start the ICHA service.
