Hello,

First of all I’m new to HA. I got z2m running on a pi4 and it’s smooth. Now I wanna try Ha and would like to use all my z2m devices without moving my installation. Is that possible? And how?

Thanks

Yes, easy

#

Do that, point HA and Z2M at the same MQTT broker

#

It's that simple

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did activate that in Z2M though. But I have no clue how to set it up in HA

It really is that easy - it's how a lot of us run Z2M and HA

#

Okay. My problem seems the be that MQTT I added it already but could see the devices. Might be the port or something. I’ll check it later.

Both have to use the same broker, and the settings need to be as covered in the Z2M docs
