Automate Zigbee2MQTT Backups via MQTT & SFTP
This workflow automates periodic Zigbee backups from zigbee2mqtt in HomeAssistant by requesting via MQTT on a cron schedule and saving the ZIP file to SFTP with timestamps.
This n8n workflow handles the complete backup sequence for Zigbee device configurations from HomeAssistant/zigbee2mqtt in two integrated flows. Flow 1 uses a cron trigger to send an MQTT message requesting a backup from zigbee2mqtt at configurable intervals. Flow 2 listens for the MQTT response containing the backup ZIP, extracts it, and uploads it to a remote SFTP server with a date-stamped filename for easy organization.
Key benefits include simplifying what would otherwise require complex sh
