I’m using ZHA for my Zigbee netwoork but notice that using Zigbee2MQTT may provide additional functionality for some of my devices as well as open up the possibility to use devices not available through ZHA (yet).
I don’t want to convert my existing Zigbee network from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT as the thought of re-pairing all my devices and adjusting automations fills me with dread.
Instead I’m thinking about buying another Zigbee coordinator and setting this up with Zigbee2MQTT. I’m thinking about having ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT running in parallel - each with their own coordinator dongle. I expect I’ll need to ensure that the new Zigbee network uses a different channel to my existing one.
Is it possible to have ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT running in parallel? Will it be easy to identify the new coordinator dongle when setting up Zigbee2MQTT?
Thanks for your help
