Installation
Pairing
This smart LED spotlight is Zigbee based, meaning all communication goes over the Zigbee technology and protocol. It needs to be paired with a Zigbee coordinator.
Finally, this device also needs to be calibrated so that the energy readings are correct.
Configuration
Use the controls to test if the socket goes on and off without any problems.
Calibration
Calibration of the energy meter can be done MQTT
I've found this guide: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/A1Z.html
Use an MQTT client (like MQTT Explorer) to send below commands.
Commands will consist of a topic
and a payload
. The topic
is the first part of the command and
the payload
is the second (JSON) part of the command.
Check connection
First things first, lets check that we are connected and calibrating the correct socket by switching it on and off.
