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.
