Hit \"Unsupported install code\" in Zigbee2MQTT? Which devices need one, why the printed code often isn't the whole code, and how to add it locally.
Pair the Tuya TS0202 PIR sensor in Zigbee2MQTT and check your manufacturer code: some variants expose sensitivity and keep-time settings, some don't.
Aqara pairing mode isn't one procedure. Sensor, switch, and H2 Thread-mode gestures for Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA, plus why a device never appears.
Zigbee2MQTT backup and restore works on zstack and ember adapters only. How to trigger one, what's in it, and what a restore really gets you back.
Zigbee2MQTT broadcasts a channel change to paired devices on zstack and ember adapters. The config edit, sleepy devices, and the backup-file trap.
Flash Tasmota on the original Sonoff ZBBridge (not the Pro) to run it as a Zigbee2MQTT coordinator over TCP: no eWeLink cloud, but one reliability caveat.
Pair the Tuya TS0041 single-button Zigbee switch with Zigbee2MQTT, no Smart Life account needed, and set up single/double/hold press automations locally.
Pair the Sonoff TRVZB into Zigbee2MQTT with no Sonoff bridge or eWeLink account, set valve opening degree, and drive it off an external room sensor.
Pair a Sonoff SNZB-01 button with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, write press automations that survive the Zigbee2MQTT 2.0 action change, and buy the right coin cell.
