Опубликовано 6 ноября 2025, 13:39

In this video tutorial, I will show in detail how to install and configure Zigbee2MQTT in Home Assistant — step by step, without haste and complicated terms, for beginners in building a smart home on Home Assistant, and for those who are just exploring various options for building their own smart home on different systems.
If you are just starting to build your smart home and want to unite devices from Tuya, Xiaomi, eWeLink, Sonoff, and other manufacturers into one system — this video is for you.

We will go through the entire process from the very beginning:
- installation and configuration of the MQTT broker Mosquitto;
- adding the external Zigbee2MQTT repository;
- configuring the Sonoff ZB Dongle-P coordinator;
- choosing a Zigbee channel and connecting the first devices;
- explanation of the main interface tabs, network maps, OTA updates, and Touchlink functions;
- how to properly connect sensors, relays, buttons, and sockets;
- how all this integrates into Home Assistant via MQTT;
- and of course, how to avoid common beginner mistakes.

After watching this video tutorial, you will be able to:
- deploy your own Zigbee network;
- control devices locally, without clouds and delays;
- build automations and scenes by your own rules;
- see the network map, signal level, battery charge, and much more.

This is not just an instruction — it is a full-fledged lesson on creating your own Zigbee ecosystem, where everything works stably and predictably.
Even if Wi-Fi turns off, Zigbee devices will continue to execute their scenarios.
Everything is local, secure, and under your control.
