Discovery

Devices Discovery

The Zigbee2MQTT service has devices discover which could be triggered in its user interface. But this connector has also supported discovery feature which will trigger devices discovery in Zigbee2MQTT service.

Connector based devices discovery can be triggered manually through a console command or from the FastyBird IoT user interface.

Manual Console Command

To manually trigger device discovery, use the following command:

php bin/fb-console fb:zigbee2mqtt-connector:discover

Note

The path to the console command may vary depending on your FastyBird application distribution. For more information, refer to the FastyBird documentation.

The console will prompt for confirmation before proceeding with the discovery process.
