Issue a Zigbee cluster command

Use this action to send a command directly to a Zigbee cluster on a single device. This is a low-level tool for triggering device functions that aren’t exposed through the regular entities. You need to know the device’s IEEE address, the endpoint, the cluster, and the command you want to send.

Only users with administrator rights can run this action.

Using this action from the user interface

If you prefer building automations and scripts visually, Home Assistant walks you through this action step by step. You pick what to target, tweak a few options, and save. No YAML knowledge required.

To issue a cluster command from an automation or a script:

1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes.
2. Open an existing automation or script, or select Create automation > Create new automation.
3. If you’re setting up a new automation, add a trigger in the When section. Scripts don’t need a trigger. They run when something else calls them.
4. In the Then do section, select Add action.
5. Search for and select Issue Zigbee cluster command.
6. Fill in the device, endpoint, cluster, command, and any parameters.
7. Select Save.

Using this action in YAML

If you work directly in YAML, or you want to know exactly what Home Assistant does under the hood, this section has the technical reference. It lists the field names you use in YAML, their types, and which ones are required.

In YAML, refer to this action as zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command. A basic example looks like this:

action: zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command
data:
  ieee: "00:0d:6f:00:05:7d:2d:34"
  endpoint_id: 1
  cluster_id: 8
  command: 1
  command_type: server
  params:
    move_mode: 1

Options in YAML

Good to know

• You must provide the command parameters through the Params field.
• Cluster, command, and endpoint IDs are specific to each device. You can look them up on the device’s page under Manage clusters.
