Custom configuration of paired devices

Custom configuration

The plugin supports a the possibility to add custom configuration for each device you pair. The custom configuration must go into the customDeviceSettings section of the plugin configuration (inside the Homebridge JSON configuration file). In the custom configuration you can for example add a friendlyName for your device, so you can have it in logs to recognise its activity in an easier way:

"customDeviceSettings": [
  {
    "ieeeAddr": "0x0000000000000000",
    "friendlyName": "My cool ZigBee device"
  }
]

Custom configuration can be used to pass the device specific parameters. For example, Ikea bulbs have a transition parameter that you can use to specify how long the transition between color changes should be (in seconds):

"customDeviceSettings": [
  {
    "ieeeAddr": "0x0000000000000000",
    "friendlyName": "My IKEA bulb",
    "transition": 1
  }
]

You can find additional config for your device on the Zigbee2Mqtt web site in the supported devices section. Each device has its own specific configuration.
