# Allowing devices to join

To allow devices to join the network joining has to be permitted. There are various ways to do this:
To allow devices to join the network, joining has to be permitted. There are various ways to do this:

### Frontend (recommended)
### Frontend

Enabling joining via the frontend ensures that joining is disabled automatically after 255 seconds.
The joining button can be found in the right top.
Enabling joining via the frontend will open the network for 254 seconds.
The joining button can be found at the top right of the navigation bar, and also be used to close the network manually before the end of the timer.

## Pairing via a specific device
#### Pairing via a specific device

To the right of Permit join (All) button is an arrow pointing down. This will allow you to pick any router to join from.
That is not a guarantee the router is chosen. This can be useful especially for Aqara devices or a switch to a light bulb.
To the right of `Permit join (All)` button is an arrow pointing down. This will allow you to pick the coordinator, or any router to join from specifically, instead of letting the device chose on its own.
That is not a guarantee the router will be chosen (or remain long-term). However, this can be useful for devices that are awkward in router selection, like Aqara, or when wanting to link a switch to a light bulb.

### MQTT (recommended)
### MQTT

The `zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/permit_join` MQTT topic can be used to enable joining. It is recommended to provide a value for `time` to ensure joining is automatically disabled. See [MQTT topic and messages](./mqtt_topics_and_messages.md#zigbee2mqtt-bridge-request-permit-join) for more information.

### Configuration.yaml (not recommended)

By setting `permit_join: true` in your `configuration.yaml` the joining will automatically be enabled when starting Zigbee2MQTT. Joining is **not** automatically disabled.
The `zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/permit_join` MQTT topic can be used to enable joining. See [MQTT topic and messages](./mqtt_topics_and_messages.md#zigbee2mqtt-bridge-request-permit-join) for more information.
