Multiple coordinators/networks

[nottledim]

I want to control 2 distinct zigbee networks from home assistant and was wondering if there was a way to this with zigbee2mqtt.

One could either have 2 coordinators managed by one zigbee2mqtt server or have 2 servers with one coordinator each presenting devices to home assistant.

Are either of these possibilities at the moment?

1 coordinator = 1 zigbee2mqtt instance. For multiple coordinators you need to run multiple zigbee2mqtt instances. Make sure to configure a different base_topic for each: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/configuration.html

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure how home-assistant could discover it. How does that work? (I have to configure mosquitto to pass topics). The instances will be on different computers.

I think I've got it now. Discovery is by device sending message to topic homeassistant/. Much appreciated.
