Zigbee_Gateway: HA & MQTT

[mirino75]

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project using the esp_zigbee_gateway example from the ESP Zigbee SDK, and I want to integrate MQTT into it so I can forward Zigbee device data to Home Assistant. I've seen the ESP-IDF MQTT (tcp) example, but I'm unsure about how to combine it with the Zigbee Gateway project and set it up for use with Home Assistant.

Here's what I need help with:
1.) How do I properly integrate the MQTT client from the ESP-IDF into the esp_zigbee_gateway example?
2.) Once MQTT is integrated, how do I structure the data (e.g., topics and payloads) so that Home Assistant can recognize it?

What I’ve done so far:
Zigbee Gateway is already set up and connected to Wi-Fi.

thx
Miro

A similar example, zb_gateway+rainmaker, can be referred to. It will help you understand how to integrate third-party solutions into the esp_zigbee_gateway.
