I have 2 active Pi's, my Home Assistant runs on a Pi 4 and I have some apps which harvest info for me on a Pi 5. Both use SSDs
The data harvesting has reduced over time and so the 5 is way overkill ( - it'd now probably run adequately on a Zero!!) , whereas the HA usage is increasing and would be better fit for the 5.
I'm comfortable with upgrading the HA but is there a way I can downgrade the other one from Pi5 to 4 without having to re-install the programs and sorting out the setup (i.e. start with a new image and rebuild). It's such a tiresome job and I'm bound to miss stuff out as I now only rarely get my hands dirty with OS's etc. I have enough spare SSDs kicking about to be experimental...
Thanks
