I purchased a HomeTroller Zee S2 about 2 years ago and added about 70 nodes to it (HomeSeer dimmers and switches, Schlage door locks, door sensors from Monoprice, etc.). Last month I purchased a HomeTroller S6 PRO and a couple weeks ago finally got it set up and ready for me to transfer the configuration and programming from my Zee S2 (I purchased a 500GB mSATA drive and cloned the provided 32GB mSATA drive to it, upgraded the OS, opened the port for connecting to the VNC server, etc.).
I’ve spent a bunch of time looking for steps to transfer the configuration and programming and found recommendations like these:
Here are my questions:
An important objective for me is to avoid having to go through connecting all my devices to the new system and reprogram all my events.
Thanks,

I’ve spent a bunch of time looking for steps to transfer the configuration and programming and found recommendations like these:
- Copy the config directory from the old system
- Copy the HomeSeer directory
- Backup the config from the Setup page and the Zwave config from the Zwave Controller Management page and restore them to the new machine
Here are my questions:
- If copying the config directory is the best way to do it, how do I copy it from the Zee S2? I've tried to SSH into it and VNC into it and have been unsuccessful.
- If backing up the config and restoring is the best way, how do I get the Zwave config from the Zee S2? The HS3 config downloads to my machine but the Zwave config gets stored locally on the Zee S2.
- In what order should I perform the operations? E.g. restore HS3 config first then Zwave config, or the other way around?
- Tangential: Is the Zee S2 configured to allow me to VNC into it? I get an error message telling me that my request was denied (or something like that) when I try to connect with VNC Viewer on a Mac.
An important objective for me is to avoid having to go through connecting all my devices to the new system and reprogram all my events.
Thanks,
David
