Learn how to build your own
Zigbee devices with the ESP32
and integrate them with
Home 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 own
sensors, switches and actuators
.
You will start with the essential Zigbee concepts without getting lost in theory. You will learn about
Coordinator, Router and End Device roles
, the Zigbee device model with
endpoints 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 configure
Zigbee-capable ESP32 boards

how to use
Arduino IDE and PlatformIO
for Zigbee projects

how
Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT and Home Assistant
work together

how to build
Zigbee sensors, buttons, door sensors and actuators

how to systematically debug common issues

how to work with
battery-powered devices, Deep Sleep and Zigbee mesh networks
The focus is on
practical projects
and understanding how everything fits together. Instead of a loose collection of examples, you will learn the complete path from an
ESP32 sketch to a working Smart Home device
.
By the end of the course, you will be able to
build, 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
