Zigbee2MQTT

Zigbee2MQTT is a self-hosted home-automation application that you run on your own server instead of renting it as a cloud service. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.

The project is developed in the open via GitHub, where it has earned 15.6K stars from the community. Repository activity was last recorded on Sep 3, 2026, and the project is classed as actively maintained in our snapshot.

Before you switch

Home automation rewards patience: confirm your devices are on the compatibility list, start with one room, and keep automations simple until the system proves stable. Local control keeps the lights working when the internet does not.

Like every project listed on SelfHosted, Zigbee2MQTT is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
