As the help in that document says...

Alternatively, use a change node to build this object.  
set msg.payload to JSON then copy/paste that code in

This is about as basic as node-red gets. If you dont understand that then you need to spend a little time playing and learning. I strongly recommend watching this playlist: [Node-RED Essentials](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyNBB9VCLmo1hyO-4fIZ08gqFcXBkHy-6). The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.

PS, this node looks FAR more difficult than zigbee2mqtt - there is none of this to do when you get zigbee2mqtt running.
