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:
{
"battery": 87,
"state": "OPEN",
"charge_state": false,
"manual_mode": "Enable",
"fault": "Normal",
"countdown": 50,
"motor_direction": "left",
"slow_mode": false,
"fixed_window_sash": "Up",
"window_detection": "Opened",
"linkquality": 120
}
Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"state":"CLOSE"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"manual_mode":"Disable"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"motor_direction":"right"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"slow_mode":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"fixed_window_sash":"Down"}'

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: "Open the curtains in the morning"
mode: single
triggers:
- trigger: time
at: "07:30:00"
actions:
- action: cover.open_cover
target:
entity_id: cover.my_device
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.
