MQTT: state and commands
Zigbee2MQTT publishes the device state to zigbee2mqtt/my_device (my_device is the name you give the device). An example message:
{
"state": "ON",
"brightness": 180,
"power_outage_count": 0,
"device_temperature": 31,
"power": 12.4,
"energy": 3.21,
"voltage": 230,
"current": 0.06,
"led_indicator": false,
"flip_indicator_light": false,
"mode_switch": "quick_mode",
"operation_mode_power": "decoupled",
"operation_mode_bright": "decoupled",
"operation_mode_dim": "decoupled",
"linkquality": 120
}
Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state":"ON","brightness":180}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state":"OFF","transition":2}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"led_indicator":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"flip_indicator_light":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"mode_switch":"anti_flicker_mode"}'

Home Assistant automation example
Zigbee2MQTT creates Home Assistant entities from the device name. If it is called my_device, an automation in automations.yaml can look like this:
- alias: "Light at sunset"
mode: single
triggers:
- trigger: sun
event: sunset
offset: "-00:15:00"
actions:
- action: light.turn_on
target:
entity_id: light.my_device
data:
brightness_pct: 70
Check the YAML: YAML checker.
How to pair it
- In Zigbee2MQTT click Permit join.
- Put the device in pairing mode: usually a long press of the reset button (5–10 s) until the LED blinks; bulbs: switch the power off and on 5–6 times.
- Keep the device close to the coordinator or a router while pairing.
- Give it a clear name: MQTT topics and Home Assistant entities are built from it.
Exact procedure and model notes: the device page in the Zigbee2MQTT docs. No coordinator yet: coordinator picker.
