How I delete a node from HA and start over.

[OldSurferDude]

If you're here, I'm not going to preach to the choir about HA's arcane ways. This works for me

• Stop mysgw
• Using MQTT Explorer, remove from the topics mysensors_out and mysensors_in all vestiges of the node that is to be deleted
• In Home Assistant (HA) delete the device
• • Settings
• • Devices and Services
• • Under MySensor, click on n Devices
• • Click on the device you want to delete.
• • Click DELETE
• • • One can use use Studio Code Server to note that the device has been deleted
• • IMPORTANT! reboot Home Assistant
• While HA is rebooting, make the changes to the code of your device
• When you are satisfied with the changes and after HA has completely rebooted, disconnect your device from power.
• Start mysgw
• Apply power to your device
