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,
"vibration": false,
"cool_down_time": 3600,
"x_axis": 0,
"y_axis": 0,
"z_axis": 0,
"linkquality": 120
}
The device only reports data and takes no commands.

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: "Vibration"
mode: single
triggers:
- trigger: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.my_device_vibration
to: "on"
actions:
- action: notify.notify
data:
message: "Vibration detected"

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.
