Multiple Instances of Z-Wave JS UI

Configuration Z-Wave
1

I’m new to Home Assistant and came over from HomeSeer which supports multiple z-wave networks.
I’ve installed the add-on Z-Wave JS UI and was able to connect it to one of my z-wave controllers using tcp (it’s a HomeSeer Z-Net controller), and everything works great.

I think I need to install another instance of the Z-Wave JS UI so that I can specify the network info and address for the second controller. When I try to do that, I’m simply taken to the config page of the existing instance.

I’ve searched the net and found references to multiple instances of Z-Wave JS but nothing that mentions the newer Z-Wave JS UI. Is this possible?

Any help would be appreciated!

You can’t do it in HAOS, it doesn’t allow multiple instances of the same add-on. You’d have to install the second instance on a remote host, using Docker or bare-metal. You can also use the Z-Wave JS add-on (not UI) on the same host, for a total of two networks.

Thanks for the info and clarification.
Since I was already running HA under ProxMox, I was able to take advantage of the Z-Wave JS UI LXC
Proxmox helper script at https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/.

This got me another instance that I could use with the other Z-Wave network I have. I was then able to add a second instance of the Z-Wave integration in HA and point it at the newly created LXC container for automatic syncing of the Z-Wave devices.

So far so good! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
