I have a couple of outdoor strips that are unable to bind to my old bridges, I think, because I've maxed out devices on both bridges so I think I'm going to have to migrate to Pro.

However the questions I have are:

1. If I migrate to the new Bridge Pro, will it automatically deactivate my old bridges? Has anyone had any experience continually using the old bridges and new bridges in case of failure?

2. It says that devices must be close to the bridge, which is kind of ridiculous given how many devices I have and how far apart they are. Did anyone have any issues with lights, individual lights, migrating to the new bridge?
