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:

mqtt:
  broker: homeassistant # This will have to be your mqtt broker
  discovery: true

input_boolean:
  zigbee_permit_join:
    name: Allow devices to join
    initial: off
    icon: mdi:cellphone-wireless

timer:
  zigbee_permit_join:
    name: Time remaining
    duration: 600 # Updated this to the number of seconds you wish

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: Bridge state
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
    icon: mdi:router-wireless

automation:
  - id: enable_zigbee_join
    alias: Enable Zigbee joining
    hide_entity: true
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.zigbee_permit_join
      to: 'on'
    action:
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/config/permit_join
        payload: 'true'
    - service: timer.start
      data:
        entity_id: timer.zigbee_permit_join
  - id: disable_zigbee_join
    alias: Disable Zigbee joining
    trigger:
    - entity_id: input_boolean.zigbee_permit_join
      platform: state
      to: 'off'
    action:
    - data:
        payload: 'false'
        topic: zigbee2mqtt/bridge/config/permit_join
      service: mqtt.publish
    - data:
        entity_id: timer.zigbee_permit_join
      service: timer.cancel
    hide_entity: true
  - id: disable_zigbee_join_timer
    alias: Disable Zigbee joining by timer
    hide_entity: true
    trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: timer.finished
      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

And add something like the following to your lovelace YAML file (if using YAML mode):

type: entities
entities:
  - entity: input_boolean.zigbee_permit_join
  - entity: timer.zigbee_permit_join
  - entity: sensor.bridge_state
show_header_toggle: false
title: Zigbee

Notes:

• permit_join will be enabled for 10 minutes (based on code automation)
