[@yuriantunes2916]

nice! i think we need a video exploring more about hass ingress

[@smart_home_australia]

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.

[@jordaynerjr]

I literally had just spent 5 hours last week trying to figure this out lol

[@jordaynerjr]

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

[@jordaynerjr]

After finishing your video I went back and changed my slave port to it was working fine before but I changed it to be safe

[@smart_home_australia]

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 :)

[@daveforrester61]

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?

[@smart_home_australia]

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.

[@MaxReinhardt-wy7lz]

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]

@@smart_home_australia So both instances write into the same configuration.yaml? Cannot believe, that this will work.

[@smart_home_australia]

@@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.
