SONOFFZigBee Mini Smart Switch, Light Switch, 2 Way Control, Compatible with Alexa, Google Home and SONOFF Hub, ZigBee 3.0 Gateway Hub Required, Neutral Wire Required, ZBMINIR2

💡 I set this up specifically to work with Home Assistant, and what drew me to it was its ability to synchronise with the existing light switch position. I chose to wire it into the light fitting since it had a neutral, making the installation straightforward. With just three short pieces of wire, I connected live in, live out, and neutral to the lighting connection block, while the switch terminals went to S1 and S2. The manual included with the switch is quite minimal, relying on the manufacturer's website for additional guidance. My main concern was enabling the switch to follow mode, as the instructions didn't make this clear, but I found some extra details online.💡 Pairing the switch was effortless and completed in seconds. Home Assistant detected it immediately, and once added, the switch mode appeared as an adjustable property, allowing me to configure it as needed. This saved me the trouble of manually forcing the mode during setup. I’ve installed similar smart switches before, so the whole process—wiring, pairing, and integration—took no more than 20 minutes.💡 In use, the switch responds reliably, with no noticeable delay when toggling the light through Home Assistant. The synchronisation with the physical switch works as expected, maintaining the correct state even if operated manually. This is something to be aware of for following mode. If you operate the switch remotely, then the manual switch will be out of sync. You then need to switch the manual switch to ‘on’ before switching in off manually. This operates as expected. Given its compact size, it fits neatly within the existing junction box without forcing the wiring into awkward positions. The only downside is the lack of detail in the included instructions, but for anyone familiar with smart home installations, it’s a minor inconvenience. ✔️

I normally use Tuya vs Sonoff/eWeLink, but needed something like this and I have to say this is a great product. It is tiny compared to the slightly janky one I was replacing. It acts as a Zigbee repeater (unlike the no-neutral one) and it's silent, fast and responsive. Works well with HomeAssistant & Google too. Great to see thse products mature to the point they're not so hit and miss.

Nice little device, fitted inside a standard back box.Couldn't pair to Philips Hue bridge so needed a Sonoff Zigbee bridge and additional 3rd party app, which all paired successfully, and works fine.

Part of the sonoff product line up. Operating on the Zigbee network these devices require a Sonoff zigbee hub. Either the sonoff Pro or Ultra hub can be used to link these devices to the eWeLink App.Unlike other models of sonoff zigbee switches which look similar, these device also act as a zigbee router extending the range of your network to reach devices further away from the hub.This is useful when using the sonoff motion sensors as these devices are battery operated so their range is limited.Using these zigbee switches will allow other device to connect to the Hub from much further away which is an important feature.

Used behind ceiling rose to switch on off lights with neutral wire. Easy install and with ZigBee bridge ultra all connected fine. On second instal I scanned to code to identify and updated firmware. This I believe allowed addition functionality that was not available on first instal. Ie inching, and detach switch option.Also integrated easily with ok Google home

I had the matter versions which were troublesome... These are reliable and quick to switch.

This device will not pair with a Hue bridge - despite the SONOFF website claim that it is compatible. A great pity as it is significantly smaller than the original version - the ZBMINI. This still works perfectly with the Hue, and is about half the price - so that's what I'm sticking with.

Range not as far as stated but otherwise does the job it was intended for.
