@OldSurferDude well, the ESP8266 is limited to 4 TCP clients in arduino IDE. This can't be really increased. I did som experiments and you can set it up to 15, but after the 5th client on my web server, I got a freeze.
Maybe you got something wrong. #define MY_GATEWAY_MAX_CLIENTS 2 defines how many controllers (eg Home Assistant) can connect to the gateway, not how many sensors/MySensors devices.
And yes, you can have multiple TCP gateways in HomeAssistant. I got an NRF24, an RFM95 long range and a RFM95 short range gateway (all based on ESP32) on the same Home Assistant.

Over 4 years on, and my node ran continuously sending 4 messages every 5 minutes.
It's 700mAh LiFePo4 battery voltage dropped from initial 3.45V to 3.24V, according to LiFePo4 voltge/SoC tables It's just under 40% left.
700*60% = 420mAh. 100 mAH per year. using library 2.40 and blob message I could cut usage to ~25mAh/year, not bad
Thanks, I'll keep this in mind if I decide to debug it. I realized that I am also tired of patching the gateway through to the doctor container inside an LXC so now I am looking at creating an esp gateway.
Just need to check if I can find a pcb on here.
Thanks again!
