I’ve looked for a similar thread and not found the answer I’m looking for so hoping for a bit of support.
I’ve currently got a Sonoff Zigbee dongle putting inputs in to Z2M, through MQTT.
I’ve recently purchased a Hildebrand Glow IHD & CAD - which locally transmits electricity and gas usage information via MQTT.
I want to take the information from the new tech and display it in HA, however I came across a conflict - of which I’ve not saved the logs on and wiped HA back to new install - wasn’t totally happy with it for a while.
Is this possible using my intel NUC without any additional hardware? How do I set this up without any conflict towards the Z2M setup?
What was the conflict? Are these new devices using HA auto discovery to create sensors?
You can have multiple devices pushing information to MQTT that HA can consume. If you’re using different topics, you can create MQTT sensors from those topics.
Honestly I’m not entirely sure, I’ve only been using HA for about 2 months so still a beginner with it. I was getting messages about a user being denied access?
I’ve got Z2M and MQTT up and installed now, I’m going to install 1 Zigbee sensor and try to get that Display in to MQTT before I get too far down the line.
This is live from the log inside of MQTT, no idea what this is in reference too?

Seems like you have a username and password setup on your broker. Your other system will need to use the same credentials. Can you post you MQTT config? That will help.
