I want to replace an old FingBox with a new one
I want to replace a old v1 FingBox with anew v2 and use the old one to monitor another network. I found the instruction to move a FingBox here: https://community.fing.com/discussion/2033/moved-my-fingbox but:
- I can’t find a deactivate command swiping the FingBox network to the left, only a “home” and a “trash” icons which I’m not sure do what I need, I tried the home button and it seems it just removes the network from the home screen. I didn’t try the trash button, yet, as I’m afraid it’ll do something not undoable
- I want to retain all the old FingBox devices configurations (alias, icons, locations, etc.) should I just connect the new FingBox and activate it on the old network?
Any hint? Thanks.

@Eugenio, to remove your fingbox, you need to remove its network. Click on the home screen, then scroll down to the selection for all networks, then click on it. It should display the network your Fingbox is on. Swipe left and choose delete. That will remove your Fingbox’s network and by association your Fingbox. Unplug it and install your new one, use the Fing mobile app to add the new device. (You can find that selection under account - settings - add Fingbox)
Regretfully, there is no upgrade automation so you will have a bit of work to do....

Thanks @Marc
To continue your advise, @Eugenio If you have a new look Fingbox, then as of now, there is no way to transfer the data from Fingbox V1 to V2. Only data related to Fing App will be able to view and transfer like all device customizations. All data related to Fingbox like Digital Fence and Presence and settings will be lost.Also, if you will stop using V1 Box, please reset the Fingbox unit and make sure it is not connected to your Fing account so the other user can associate to their Fing Account.
