+# Migration from AppDaemon Config
+
+This page explains how to migrate panel configuration from the legacy AppDaemon `apps.yaml` format to the standalone rewrite `panels.yaml` format.
+
+## File and structure changes
+
+Old (AppDaemon):
+
+- panel config lived under `apps.yaml`
+- MQTT and Home Assistant base connection config was split across AppDaemon files (`appdaemon.yaml`, plugin config, and app config)
+
+New (rewrite):
+
+- panel config lives in one file: `panels.yaml` (usually `/config/panels.yaml`)
+- connection values are read from this file and/or environment variables
+
+## Minimal before/after example
+
+Old AppDaemon (`apps.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+nspanel-1:
+  module: nspanel-lovelace-ui
+  class: NsPanelLovelaceUIManager
+  config:
+    panelRecvTopic: "tele/tasmota_panel/RESULT"
+    panelSendTopic: "cmnd/tasmota_panel/CustomSend"
+    model: eu
+    locale: en_US
+    timeFormat: "%H:%M"
+```
+
+New rewrite (`panels.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+home_assistant_address: "http://supervisor"
+home_assistant_token: "YOUR_TOKEN"
+
+nspanels:
+  panel-1:
+    panelRecvTopic: "tele/tasmota_panel/RESULT"
+    panelSendTopic: "cmnd/tasmota_panel/CustomSend"
+    model: eu
+    locale: en_US
+    timeZone: "Europe/Berlin"
+    timeFormat: "%H:%M"
+    dateFormat: "full"
+    screensaver:
+      entities:
+        - entity: weather.home
+    cards:
+      - type: cardEntities
+        title: Main
+        entities:
+          - entity: light.kitchen
+```
+
+## Key mapping
+
+Legacy AppDaemon key or concept | Standalone rewrite | Notes
+-- | -- | --
+`module`, `class`, `config` wrapper | removed | Rewrite uses `nspanels.<panel_name>` directly.
+`panelRecvTopic` | `panelRecvTopic` | Same meaning.
+`panelSendTopic` | `panelSendTopic` | Same meaning.
+`model` | `model` | Same meaning (`eu`, `us-p`, `us-l`).
+`locale` | `locale` | Same meaning.
+`timeFormat` | `timeFormat` | Same meaning.
+`timezone` (legacy docs casing) | `timeZone` | Use exact camelCase `timeZone`.
+`dateFormatBabel` / `dateFormat` | `dateFormat` | Rewrite expects `dateFormat`.
+`cards` | `cards` | Same concept.
+`hiddenCards` | `hiddenCards` | Same concept.
+`screensaver` | `screensaver` | Same concept; some legacy theme options are not available.
+`defaultCard` under screensaver usage | `defaultCard` (panel level) | Use as panel-level key in rewrite.
+`temperatureUnit` (card-level legacy usage) | `temp_unit` (panel level) | Rewrite reads panel-level `temp_unit`.
+`sleepBrightness` list schedule | not supported | Rewrite supports integer or entity id, not list-based schedules.
+`screenBrightness` list schedule | not supported | Rewrite supports integer or entity id, not list-based schedules.
+`sleepTracking` | `sleepTracking` | Same concept.
+`sleepTrackingZones` | `sleepTrackingZones` | Same concept.
+`sleepOverride` | `sleepOverride` | Same concept.
+`updateMode` / OTA URL overrides (`displayURL-*`, `berryURL`) | not supported | Rewrite does not implement these legacy update keys.
+`theme`, `dateAdditionalTemplate`, `timeAdditionalTemplate` | not supported | Not implemented in rewrite config.
+
+## Connection config differences
+
+In AppDaemon setups, MQTT and Home Assistant connectivity was mostly configured via AppDaemon plugin settings.
+
+In the rewrite, connectivity is resolved directly by the runtime:
+
+- Home Assistant:
+  - `home_assistant_address`
+  - `home_assistant_token`
+- MQTT (for MQTT mode):
+  - `mqtt_server`, `mqtt_port`, `mqtt_username`, `mqtt_password`
+- Optional mode switch:
+  - set `use_ha_api` to use Home Assistant event mode instead of MQTT receive mode
+
+## Entity-level differences to watch
+
+Some legacy entity config fields are not implemented in the rewrite parser/renderer:
+
+- `state`, `state_not`, `state_template`
+- direct `service.*` action entries with custom `data`
+- `action_name`
+
+Supported and commonly used fields in rewrite:
+
+- `entity`, `name`, `icon`, `color`, `value`, `font`
+- weather-related: `attribute`, `day`, `hour`, `unit`
+- light detail helper: `effectList`
+- navigation helper: `status` for `navigate.*` entities
+
+## Migration checklist
+
+1. Create `/config/panels.yaml` from the rewrite example.
+2. Move each old app entry (`nspanel-1`, `nspanel-2`, ...) into `nspanels`.
+3. Remove `module/class/config` wrappers.
+4. Rename `timezone` to `timeZone`.
+5. Ensure each panel has `dateFormat`, `timeFormat`, `screensaver`, and `cards`.
+6. Replace unsupported scheduled brightness lists with integer/entity-based values.
+7. Remove unsupported legacy-only keys listed above.

+# Migration to Standalone Rewrite Config
+
+This page compares the legacy AppDaemon `apps.yaml` config with the standalone rewrite `panels.yaml` config.
+
+For the full rewrite docs, including full key descriptions, see:
+
+- [Standalone documentation](https://docs.nspanel.pky.eu/standalone/)
+- [Standalone migration page](https://docs.nspanel.pky.eu/standalone/migration-appdaemon/)
+
+## High-level differences
+
+Old AppDaemon version:
+
+- panel config in `apps.yaml` with `module` / `class` / `config`
+- connectivity partly configured in AppDaemon plugin config (`appdaemon.yaml`)
+
+Standalone rewrite:
+
+- one runtime config file: `/config/panels.yaml`
+- panel definitions under `nspanels`
+- Home Assistant and MQTT connection values resolved directly by the rewrite runtime
+
+## Minimal before/after example
+
+Old (`apps.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+nspanel-1:
+  module: nspanel-lovelace-ui
+  class: NsPanelLovelaceUIManager
+  config:
+    panelRecvTopic: "tele/tasmota_panel/RESULT"
+    panelSendTopic: "cmnd/tasmota_panel/CustomSend"
+    model: eu
+```
+
+New (`panels.yaml`):
+
+```yaml
+home_assistant_address: "http://supervisor"
+home_assistant_token: "YOUR_TOKEN"
+
+nspanels:
+  panel-1:
+    panelRecvTopic: "tele/tasmota_panel/RESULT"
+    panelSendTopic: "cmnd/tasmota_panel/CustomSend"
+    model: eu
+    locale: en_US
+    timeZone: "Europe/Berlin"
+    timeFormat: "%H:%M"
+    dateFormat: "full"
+    screensaver:
+      entities:
+        - entity: weather.home
+    cards:
+      - type: cardEntities
+        title: Main
+        entities:
+          - entity: light.kitchen
+```
+
+## Important key changes
+
+Legacy key/concept | Rewrite key/concept | Notes
+-- | -- | --
+`module`, `class`, `config` wrapper | removed | Rewrite uses `nspanels.<panel_name>` directly.
+`timezone` | `timeZone` | Casing changed.
+`dateFormatBabel` | `dateFormat` | Use `dateFormat` in rewrite.
+`temperatureUnit` (legacy card-level usage) | `temp_unit` (panel-level) | Rewrite reads `temp_unit` from panel settings.
+brightness schedule lists | not supported | Rewrite supports integer or entity id for brightness values.
+`updateMode` / OTA URL override keys | not supported | Legacy update behavior is not part of rewrite config.
