Sorry, updated previous comment. You will need node-red-contrib-fs for it to read back the files and restore

Great, thank you!

I'm also on the original zwave integration and will be migrating soon. Do these flows back up the original info so the original zwave integration can be re-loaded just in case there are problems with JS?

Or is this to help rename all the entities once JS is going?
