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:

{
  "network_indicator": false,
  "turbo_mode": false,
  "power": 12.4,
  "current": 0.06,
  "voltage": 230,
  "energy_today": 0,
  "output_energy_today": 0,
  "energy_month": 0,
  "output_energy_month": 0,
  "total_energy": 0,
  "total_output_energy": 0,
  "metering_communication_error": false,
  "overload_protection": false,
  "linkquality": 120
}

Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:

mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"network_indicator":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"turbo_mode":true}'

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.
