What you need
| Setting | Needed | What it is |
|---|---|---|
Z2M_Environment variable, secret | Required | MQTT broker URL used by Zigbee2MQTT, e.g. mqtt://192.168.1.10:1883. Supports mqtt://, mqtts://, ws:// and wss://. This is the broker, not the Zigbee2MQTT frontend port. |
Z2M_Environment variable | Optional | MQTT broker username, if the broker requires authentication. |
Z2M_Environment variable, secret | Optional | MQTT broker password, if the broker requires authentication. |
Z2M_Environment variable | Optional | Zigbee2MQTT base topic. Must match mqtt.base_topic in configuration.yaml. Defaults to zigbee2mqtt. |
Z2M_Environment variable | Optional | Tool exposure tier: off (read-only), safe (default; adds non-destructive writes such as pairing, options, rename and binding) or full (adds device removal, OTA flashing, Touchlink and bridge restart). |
