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:

{
  "pilot_wire_mode": "comfort",
  "local_temperature": 20.5,
  "local_temperature_calibration": 0,
  "eco_mode": false,
  "open_window": false,
  "open_window_temperature": 18,
  "power": 12.4,
  "voltage": 230,
  "current": 0.06,
  "energy": 3.21,
  "energy_today": 0,
  "energy_yesterday": 0,
  "device_mode_type": false,
  "linkquality": 120
}

Send commands to zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set:

mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"pilot_wire_mode":"eco"}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"eco_mode":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"open_window":true}'
mosquitto_pub -t zigbee2mqtt/my_device/set -m '{"device_mode_type":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.
