## Move Home Assistant install
If you like to retain your HomeKit pairing through a move to a new Home Assistant device or installation, besides copying the configurations files you need to copy the `.homekit.state` file inside your configurations directory. Keep in mind though that the file is usually hidden by default, depending on your operating system.
