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_left": "ON",
"state_center": "ON",
"state_right": "ON",
"standby_enabled": false,
"theme": "classic",
"beep_volume": "mute",
"lcd_brightness": 51,
"language": "chinese",
"screen_saver_style": "classic",
"standby_time": 32767,
"font_size": "small",
"lcd_auto_brightness_enabled": false,
"homepage": "scene",
"screen_saver_enabled": false,
"linkquality": 120
}
Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state_left":"TOGGLE"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state_center":"TOGGLE"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state_right":"TOGGLE"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"standby_enabled":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"theme":"concise"}'
Watch the topics live from the browser: MQTT client.
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: "Off at night"
mode: single
triggers:
- trigger: time
at: "23:30:00"
actions:
- action: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.my_device_left
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.
