    mitchelh , As you rightly pointed out this is not the feature that we currently support. Sorry for any inconvenience that's caused. We are exploring to meaningfully historize the model along with the data. We will keep the user community posted on the development. 

     

    In the mean time, one workaround I could think of is to rename the device ID as you move a device under a different parent; that way we establish a different hierarchy as we move the device and still both of them exist side by side. I am totally aware that there are situations that devices cant be renamed and this could work only in cases that its a possibility. 

     

    Please let us know if we could be of further help. Good luck!
