MY_NODE_ID AUTO support with serial gateway

[coza]

Mysensors gateway 2.3.2 and sensors 2.3.2

I cannot seem to find an answer to the question, does the serial gateway support automatic assignment of node IDs to new nodes?

I have transitioned from an ethernet gateway (esp) to a direct connected serial gateway and have just noticed any new sensors will not get an assigned node id. I have to hard code a node id into the sensor.

Is this expected behavior?

@coza have you added your new gateway to Home Assistant?

A gateway will never hand out ids. The controller will.

I understand that I am just trying to find out why my new sensors are not getting an auto assigned node id when all I have done is move from a ethernet gateway to a serial gateway.

We have had a few version updates in HA and I am not sure what is the cause.
