Description

---

Learn how to build your ownZigbee devices with the ESP32 and integrate them withHome Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT. This course is for makers, Arduino users and ESP32 developers who want to go beyond using off-the-shelf devices and understand how Zigbee works and how to build their ownsensors, switches and actuators.
You will start with the essential Zigbee concepts without getting lost in theory. You will learn aboutCoordinator, Router and End Device roles, the Zigbee device model withendpoints and clusters, and the key differences between Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth and Matter. From there, you will move directly into practical ESP32 projects.
In this course, you will learn
how to choose and configureZigbee-capable ESP32 boards
how to useArduino IDE and PlatformIO for Zigbee projects
howZigbee2MQTT, MQTT and Home Assistant work together
how to buildZigbee sensors, buttons, door sensors and actuators
how to systematically debug common issues
how to work withbattery-powered devices, Deep Sleep and Zigbee mesh networks
The focus is onpractical projects and understanding how everything fits together. Instead of a loose collection of examples, you will learn the complete path from anESP32 sketch to a working Smart Home device.
By the end of the course, you will be able tobuild, understand and extend your own Zigbee projects.
If you want to truly understand Zigbee and build your own devices, start the course and create your first custom Smart Home project.
See you in class
