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:

{
  "pump_1_1": false,
  "pump_1_duration_1": 300,
  "pump_2_2": false,
  "pump_3_duration_2": 300,
  "pump_3_3": false,
  "pump_3_duration_3": 300,
  "pump_all_4": false,
  "beeper_5": false,
  "beeper_on_leak_1": false,
  "water_leak": false,
  "full": false,
  "linkquality": 120
}

Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:

mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"pump_1_1":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"pump_2_2":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"pump_3_3":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"pump_all_4":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"beeper_5":true}'

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: "Water leak"
  mode: single
  triggers:
    - trigger: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.my_device_water_leak
      to: "on"
  actions:
    - action: notify.notify
      data:
        message: "Water leak detected!"

Check the YAML: YAML checker.

How to pair it

  1. In Zigbee2MQTT click Permit join.
  2. 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.
  3. Keep the device close to the coordinator or a router while pairing.
  4. 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.
