Hi all,
Thought would upgrade late 2012 mac mini with latest and greatest, leaving me with a 'development' mini down the track.
new Mac mini 2018 with new IP address and leaving old Indigo Mac mini with old IP.
All completed and seems to be almost 100% functional - but certainly needed the 1/2 day that I had set aside!
Issues:
Upgraded to Mojave 10.4.1 - 3.6 gigs of downloads before could do much else.
As recommended:
Copied /Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.2 folder from old mac to New Mac.
Then ran 7.2 installer to update disk permissions.
A few plugins (some of which mine ) stored data in User/Documents/ and Indigo was a sea of red before copied these folders over as well.
(I'll look at updating mine - most of mine is image/storage of plugin generated content, but iRoomba Plugin does store config here )
Still had some issues and discovered that Mojave appeared to be using iCloud Documents as default - so User/Documents didn't exist.
Needed to turn iCloud Documents off within iCloud settings - on doing so Documents folder appeared.
Whole lot of plugin Config paths to update.
Sonos plugin - major repeated exception which couldn't fix.

This advice of adding try/except appears to have resolved for me.
Few custom wifi serial devices expecting set IP address for Indigo - which needed to update/took a while to track down.
Alexa Plugin - Host IP update needed - manually deleting all alexa devices to see whether can get going again currently.
Home Kit - Host IP update needed. Needed to run advanced options - reset up properities - which fixed.
BlueIris - needed to update save paths, and form within BlueIris the trigger IP address back to the new Indigo
RFXCOM - Small issue with the USB ports.... Couldn't plug it in!
They have changed the USB port orientation - and the Gen5 ZWave stick blocks the other port.
Didnt really want to use Hub given previous reports of issues, but found a USB extender cable in 'draw of cables' and using that.
(might be usb1/2 not sure- probably should replace with something newer)
With port extender - plugs in and functioning fine, along with Gen5 stick - no Z-wave issues as yet.
Also then had issues - and found hadn't disabled sleep within Mac - did this and behaviour improved.
So:
1. Check icloud Documents off, and copy any indigo based Documents located files to new mac as well
2. Expect to spend sometime updating plugin config paths/save paths
3. Need a USB Extender if planning on connecting Gen5 Z-stick and anything else to mac!
4, Don't forget to disable sleep
All and all - more difficult than assumed it would be and hopefully a few pointers here for those making the change. (will update if discover anything else)
