New HAOS system user coming from Homeseer. Can I simultaneously use zwave js connected to a ZWA-2 and zwave js ui connected to a homeseer znet in a detached shop? Or is it better to run both on zwave js ui (I understand how to get two instances of zwave js ui running). Thanks in advance

I think it should be fine if they are not fighting over the same coordinator stick.
I don’t know of a problem with it.
I’m not an expert though, just have 1 zwave network.
Personally, I would run two instances of Zwave JS UI. You can install as 2 add-ons (there are hacks outlined in the forum to do that) or run the second Zwave JS UI instance directly on the Znet (instructions also available).
If the question is:
1.should I connect zwa-2 over WiFi to zwavejsui?
OR
2.Is it better to connect zwa-2 directly to zwavejsui over USB on same HA Host?
OR
3.Is it better to connect zwa-2 using USB to remote host running zwavejsui and connect that host to HA over Ethernet/wifi?
USB is winner. 2 or 3
1 is Just fine if 2/3 are too hard or you just not in the mood to set it up using 2/3. Based on the published numbers it’s slower but I haven’t heard feedback on if it is impactful to function and I am thinkiingnit may not be. I would likely test 1 and if all works without issue move on.
Thanks all. I believe I will use the two instances of the zwave js ui. My plan was to use the usb connection, which I should have mentioned.
