Can I transfer data from the old HUE bridge to this one?
Is it possible to transfer the scenes, devices, bulbs, settings etc. from my existing HUE bridge to this new one upon installation, or will I have to set it all up again from scratch?

AnswerYes. The Hue app allows you transfer your settings from your existing gen 1 bridge to the new 2nd gen bridge via your network. You just need have them both on your network at the same time.

How does the upgrade process work?
I have the existing Hue Bridge and would like to upgrade to this one. How does the upgrade process work? Do I need to bring the old one to an Apple Store to purchase the new one? The new Bridge never seems to be available online which suggests there's some kind of catch to getting it at the reduced upgrade price. Please explain.
