My property was struck by lightning and despite having individual surge suppressors and even a whole home suppressor i had some damage. I think it was mainly through a coax cable that went to my modem but long story short my HA yellow poe will no longer turn on. Thankfully I did daily full backups to the cloud. I was getting ready to get a new HA yellow with a upgrade to M5. I know how to restore from backup but as this is a new unit I am assuming the ip address will be different from my old one and things like my mqtt server and other addons wont just work again. Is there any way to assign the old IP to the new system when doing the restore from backup? Also are there any other best practices or hickups I might encounter along the way? Thanks in advance.
Preferred way is to set a DHCP reservation in your DHCP server (for most people : their router) to the old IP.
if necessary you can change the IP back to the old one in settings → sysem → network
There should be no problems with your add-ons
