Hello, I have a LXC running Z2M and MQQT add-on. I'm want to try esp-presence. How would I be able to add another MQQT instance to communicate to my BLE esp-presence device?

You don't need another MQTT broker. You just need one and both Z2M and any ESPresense devices talk to it

For some reason, I do not see my device under ESPHome in Home Assistant. I tried both the IP Addresses of my MQQT and the HA instance, with username/passwords for each of them specifically.

It's MQTT

#

If Z2M is working, your MQTT broker and connection to HA are fine

#

yes Z2M is working well. Let me give another try.

Your ESPresense devices won't show up under ESPHome

#

They have nothing to do with ESPHome

#

They will show up under MQTT

#

I'm gonna proceed with my rest of the steps! Thank you so much!!

#
