OK. Managed to work out how to get the switches onto the dashboard for starters.
Now I need to work out how I'm going to code for the 24 switches with 77 buttons and 231 possible button presses. This was easy in NodeRed. I suspect it won't be in HA.

@stooovie why would I need to do that?

@NAB to see if they're supposed to work?

@stooovie do you mean https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices?

@NAB @stooovie yep, it's pretty comprehensive

@stooovie These are the switches and there's no mention of Home Assistant. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0046.html
And there doesn't seem to be any reference to HA on other devices. Am I missing something?

@NAB @stooovie you're not missing anything. Zigbee2MQTT is a separate thing, it can be used by many other automation systems. If you have MQTT up and running in HA, and Zigbee2MQTT sees these switches, they should be automatically discovered and added to HA as MQTT devices.

@stooovie I can see you're trying to be helpful, but I'm afraid you're assuming I'm new to this. I'd already said my ZigBee devices were working through my current NodeRed system and that HA had picked them up all except the switches through MQTT, looking at the Z2M compatibility list doesn't help.

@NAB I remember reading on Z2M github that with the new 2.0.x version, some devices weren't created/discovered in HA unless there was a state change on them. But you've probably already tried pressing the buttons.
