Thanks, great tutorial. I want to add a 2nd z2m coordinator. I run the majority of supporting apps in containers on my Proxmox systems. I do this so that rebooting HA, does not affect MQTT, ESPHome, Z2M, Node-Red and so on. Also have better control overall. I did this a couple of years ago, service by service. This all started when influxdb add-on was having trouble and no fix was on the horizon. A little more work, but worth it.

Arhhh do you live in ShangraLa lol... Your setup sounds like the optimal for most home users, saleable, recoverable, potential for high availability and very resilient. The issue would be that to get to that level of sophistication would take alot of knowledge and effort and most want the outcome without working part time as a sys admin :) Congrats on the setup, have you ever thought about making a video on how you did this?

Hi - i was doing something similar and all current tutorials seem to omit 2 things: 1) you need to have 2 separate zigbee channels (each integration gets a separate one) and 2) you need an ADDITONAL folder (in my case zigbee2mqtt2) for holding the configuration.yaml (this one is INSIDE the zigbee2mqtt2 folder) for storing the config file of the second integration. If you don't then the second integration will simply re-use the config of the first one...

Thanks for your comment. I didn't have those issues, the only changes I needed to make were for the base topic and channel (as referenced in www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/faq/#how-do-i-run-multiple-instances-of-zigbee2mqtt). Did anyone else have any issues?

Nice Video! How does this work with identical "data_path" for both instances?
@smart_home_australia

In Zigbee2MQTT, the data path refers to the directory where the application stores its data, including the configuration file, state information, and any logs. As long as the base topic is different between instances, then leaving this as default is fine.

@@MaxReinhardt-wy7lz Yep. Its the base topic that provides the differentiator as part of the high-level key. Give it a try and see :) check out the discount codes in the video description for a 5% discount.

so for data_path, we didnt have to change it from default /config/zigbee2mqtt? cause in the video the data_path is same between coordinator 1 and 2

Thats correct. Its the base topic that differentiates the integrations.

I ended up just using two different data paths and making two separate yaml files and that fixed all of my issues

Well done !! It stumped me until I read about the trick with the URL's then it make perfect sense. Also the Ingress is pretty cool :)

Great walk through of this subject. I notice your adapters are running ezsp firmware. Are you getting the warning about ezsp being deprecated and replaced by ember in the next version of zigbee2mqtt? Are you having any issues with Z2M running ezsp?

Yes I get the warning message about ezsp, but they work perfectly. I'm just holding back until ember is 100%, then I'll switch across.

This is a great tutorial. I tried this previously and wish I had this tutorial as I ended up blowing up my HA but thankfully I had back-ups.

Oops. Thank goodness for backups. Strange is that I put out a video for backups and it has low views, whereas everyone should watch and do them religiously.

This is my first exploration into Ingress, I wasn't aware of this functionality but am happy that I found it. I'll see what else I can include it into. :) thanks for the tip.
