Hass.io Add-on: zigbee2mqtt

Add-on for running zigbee2mqtt in Hass.io.

Usage

Installation

The repository includes two add-ons: zigbee2mqtt and zigbee2mqtt-edge. For a stable release that tracks the released versions of zigbee2mqtt, install zigbee2mqtt. zigbee2mqtt-edge tracks the master branch of zigbee2mqtt, so you can install the edge version if there are features or fixes in the master branch not yet released.

Configuration

To configure this add-on, you must set the following parameters via the Hass.io user interface. See the zigbee2mqtt docs and the default configuration file for more information.

Parameter Type Required Description
data_path string Yes Set this to the path you'd like the add-on to persist data. Must be within the /share directory. Defaults to /share/zigbee2mqtt.
homeassistant bool yes Set this to true if you want MQTT autodiscovery. See Integrating with Home Assistant for details.
permit_join bool yes Recommended to leave this to false and use runtime pairing. Set this to true when you setup new devices - make sure you set it back to false when done.
mqtt_server string yes The MQTT server address. Make sure you include the protocol. Example: mqtt://homeassistant
mqtt_base_topic string yes Prefix for your MQTT topic
serial_port string yes Serial port for your CC2531 stick.
mqtt_user string no Your MQTT username, if set.
mqtt_pass string no Your MQTT Password, if set.
debug bool no Set to true to enable debug mode for zigbee-shepherd and zigbee2mqtt. See the wiki for more information.
err bool no Set to true to redirect zigbee2mqtt stdout to out.log and stderr to err.log. Both out.log and err.log will be located within data_path above.

Notes:

  • Depending on your configuration, the MQTT server URL will need to include the port, typically 1883 or 8883 for SSL communications. For example, mqtt://homeassistant:1883.
  • To find out which serial ports you have exposed go to Hass.io > System > Host system > Show Hardware
Modifying zigbee2mqtt's configuration.yaml

In some cases, you may wish to modify zigbee2mqtt's configuration.yaml file directly (for example, to add or modify device specific configuration](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/wiki/Device-specific-configuration)). The configuration.yaml file used by this add-on can be modified within the data directory specified via the add-on configuration (see above). By default, therefore, the configuration file is saved to /share/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml on your Hass.io host. Suggested ways to edit your configuration.yaml file include the official Samba share add-on and the official or community SSH add-ons.

Pairing

The suggested way to pair your devices is to enable zigbee2mqtt's permit_join option from within Home Assistant using MQTT rather than through the add-on's User Interface. Below is an example configuration that will allow you to enable and disable device pairing from the Home Assistant front end:

      event_data:
        entity_id: timer.zigbee_permit_join
    action:
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/config/permit_join
        payload: 'false'
    - service: input_boolean.turn_off
      data:
        entity_id: input_boolean.zigbee_permit_join

Notes:

  • There is a gist with the above code
  • permit_join will be enabled for 10 minutes (based on code automation)

Updating the Add-on and zigbee2mqtt Library

The stable, versioned zigbee2mqtt can be updated using the standard Hass.io update functionality within the user interface. This add-on will be updated with bug fixes and as the underlying zigbee2mqtt library is updated.

To update the edge version of the add-on, you will need to uninstall and re-install the add-on. If you have reinstalled the add-on and believe that the latest version has not been installed, try removing the repository before reinstalling.

Issues

If you find any issues with the addon, please check first the issue tracker.

Feel free to create a PR for fixes and enhancements.
