Binding ​

The Zigbee protocol supports direct binding of Endpoint devices, which allows you to directly manage each other without the intervention of a coordinator or any home automation software.

Types of devices ​

Not all devices have firmware that supports this binding. Xiaomi's popular manufacturer of zigbee equipment, only with the advent of Zigbee 3 devices, was concerned about the availability of this functionality, although the previously released Zigbee 1.2 protocol already had such an opportunity.

List of tested devices that have firmware with filled Endpoint parameters

Setup via MQTT (in development) ​

The topic structure completely repeats the zigbee2mqtt project

Needed in topic

zigbee2mqtt/bridge/bind/SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME

zigbee2mqtt/bridge/bind/SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME

send the value TARGET_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME, where SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME is the address or FN of the remote, TARGET_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME is the address or FN of the managed device.

As a result, the source device is bound to the target.

To untie the devices you must send

zigbee2mqtt/bridge/unbind/SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME

zigbee2mqtt/bridge/unbind/SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME

with the TARGET_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME parameter, where SOURCE_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME is the address or FN of the remote, TARGET_DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME is the address or FN of the managed device.

Setup via the Web ​

It is necessary through the Web interface on the zigbee tab to go to the control device (remote) and specify the address and endpoint of the managed device.
