Zigbee2MQTT is a Node.js application that bridges Zigbee devices to MQTT, letting you control Zigbee sensors, bulbs, and switches without the vendor's proprietary bridge or gateway. It supports a wide range of Zigbee USB/GPIO/network adapters and integrates with home automation platforms like Home Assistant via MQTT.
Use cases
- control zigbee devices without the vendor bridge
- integrate zigbee sensors with home assistant
- bridge zigbee to mqtt broker
- replace philips hue or xiaomi gateway
- pair and manage zigbee devices from a raspberry pi
- get zigbee device state and events over mqtt topics
- run a self-hosted zigbee coordinator
When to choose
- you want vendor-independent control of Zigbee devices
- your smart home setup already uses MQTT (Home Assistant, openHAB, Node-RED)
- you want to run on a Raspberry Pi, Docker, or Home Assistant addon
- you need broad device support with OTA updates, groups, and bindings
When to avoid
- you need Zigbee over IP/LAN - the coordinator must be locally attached or network-serial
- you want a plug-and-play commercial hub with no configuration
- you need multiple Zigbee networks from one instance - each instance supports a single coordinator
