What I did not try but might work: copy your persistence file, delete the old GW and create a new one with the persistence file you copied. Maybe the devices are preserved like this. Maybe you should create a full backup before...

Hey @OldSurferDude
I think we have a missunderstanding here. I have my gateways running on ESP32. When I add the integration I can enter the IP in this dialog:
If you want to change the IP number of the gateway (or the MQTT topic or the serial port), there is no way to do this:
Same issue here. HA receives data from Ethernet Gateway for only a few minutes and then:
DEBUG (MainThread) [mysensors.gateway_tcp] Connection lost with <_SelectorSocketTransport closing fd=42 read=idle write=<idle, bufsize=0>>
I also have MYSController connected to the GW and it remains connected. There is an open issue as others are also having the same problem. Am wondering if anyone here is having success with Ethernet Gateway connected to HA.
With Home Assistant as Operating System it might not work, if the radio is connected to the GPIO of the Pi. The HASS-Os has some restrictions to run software like the Pi gateway beside Homeassistant.
I have currently a setup with a RFM69 connected to the GPIO for the RPI ethernet gateway. Homeassistant runs in a container and the mysensors plugin connects in Homeassistant to localhost or 127.0.0.1. But I have problems with the stability (I think so) with this combination, as seen in this forum.
In my opinion is a Serial (USB-Serial-Converter) Gateway with Homeassistant the best choice. So I want to build another gateway and resinstall my Pi with HASS-Os.
