SONOFF ZigBee Smart Light Switch, SONOFF Zigbee Hub Required, Interruptor Inteligente Voice Control with Alexa & Google Home, Neutral Line Required Smart Home Device, Zigbee Switch ZBMINIR2

This is a great upgrade to the original. These are much smaller and seem to have a better range. They work great with Home Assistant and fit perfect in standard boxes with standard switches. The pairing process was wicked fast. I am very happy with the upgrade.

works great - paired easily with Smartthings and works as expected. The small form factor made it easy to install in an otherwise crowded two-gang switch box.

The SONOFF ZigBee Smart Light Switch (ZBMINIR2) is a great option for adding smart control to your home lighting. I installed it as part of my Zigbee home automation setup, and it integrates smoothly with Alexa and Google Home. Setup was straightforward, though a neutral wire is required, so make sure your wiring supports it before purchasing. Once wired, pairing with the SONOFF Zigbee Hub was quick, and the switch responded instantly in the app. The compact design makes it easy to fit into most electrical boxes. One of the standout features is voice control compatibility. I can turn my lights on and off using Alexa without needing to reach for a switch. Automations work flawlessly, whether it’s scheduling lights or syncing with other Zigbee devices. One minor downside is that a separate Zigbee hub is required, which adds an extra step if you don’t already have one. But if you’re already using Zigbee devices, this switch fits right in. And here’s a quick joke: Why did the smart switch ace the test? Because it always had the right connections! Overall, the SONOFF ZigBee Smart Light Switch is a reliable and efficient way to add smart control to your home lighting. It’s easy to install, responsive, and works well with popular smart home systems. A great addition for Zigbee users!

The Sonoff ZBMINIR2 is a fantastic hidden relay designed to convert your existing “dumb” light switches into smart ones. It’s compact enough to tuck behind a light switch, making it a seamless solution for upgrading without changing your fixtures. However, like many smart devices, it does have a caveat—you’ll need Sonoff’s own hub or bridge to unlock its full feature set. While that’s a slight drawback, the overall functionality makes it worth considering. I used two of these relays to tackle a tricky two-way switch circuit. I have a light in the loft controlled by switches at the bottom of the stairs and in the hallway, but there was no switch at the top of the stairs. Here’s how I solved it: 1. I installed one ZBMINIR2 on the “pole” side of the two-way switch circuit downstairs. 2. I wired another upstairs where there was an unused light switch (previously wired for outlets that had since been converted). Using the upstairs switch, I configured a “scene” to command the relay downstairs. This setup now controls the loft light without the need to run additional wiring upstairs. Even better, the upstairs switch doesn’t need to be directly connected to a load—it works perfectly with the relay via the scene setup. Initially, I tried to achieve this with the Sonoff ZBMINIL2, but since it requires a load wire to function, I would’ve needed to add a resistor between the neutral and load terminals. This workaround wasn’t ideal, as it would waste power and generate heat whenever the switch was on. Switching to the ZBMINIR2 resolved the issue entirely and allowed for a cleaner, more energy-efficient solution. In summary, the ZBMINIR2 is a reliable and versatile relay for upgrading your switches to smart functionality without major rewiring. Just keep in mind the need for Sonoff’s hub for full compatibility. It’s a great little device for creative problem-solving in home automation.

The ZBMINI was my go to to turn dumb lights smart while staying within the Hue ecosystem for lighting. The only problem was that it doesn't respond to changing scenes, so if your light was on and a scene set it to off, it would not turn off. Bummer, but it could be worked around strategically with zones (rooms and zones don't have that problem)... if less convenient. The ZBMINIR2, I'm happy to report, has no such issues! It works with scenes because it's able to report its status to the Hue bridge just like any other hue-compatible accessory. I waited a while to purchase the ZBMINIR2 because initial reports stated that it wouldn't pair with the Hue bridge, but as of November 2025 (and probably earlier) it seems they're shipping with the updated firmware to make it compatible. That means you don't need to buy a SONOFF bridge or use the eWeLink app to update the firmware of the device- you can just wire it up and pair it in the Hue app. I also recently got the Hue Pro Bridge and it paired immediately without issue on that one as well. It works great with "3-way" switch configurations where the switches can control the light in addition to being controlled by Hue or your smart home platform. The wiring diagram seems to be non-standard, but it's very simple: My configuration is probably the most common which is: Light <- NM (2Wire+ground) -> Box[ Switch 1, Neutral, Line/Hot ] <- NM (3Wire+ground) -> Switch 2 In this scenario, leave Switch 1 and 2 alone but add two short lengths of wire to each of the non "Common" (usually red wire with black screw) and connect those to S1 and S2. That's it. Then connect the Neutral, Line (L-in), and Load (L-out) wires as normal. The only con I would say is the depth of the connections in the device- they require an exposed wire length less than 1/4" which is honestly a little too short in my opinion. You really have to tighten down the connections HARD to make sure the wires don't pop out when you push everything back into your switch box. Other than that, this is a great upgrade and worthy successor to the ZBMINI that solves all of its issues. The only way this could get better is if it supported dimming, but that's probably a can of worms SONOFF doesn't want to open.

Excelentes dispositivos, fáciles de configurar y completamente compatibles con Home assistant.

Fungerar utmärkt. Jag använder min för att styra utebelysningen och jag anslöt min direkt till Home Assistant med Zigbee och det gick på under minuten. Känns gedigen och fick utan problem plats i en kopplingsdosa. Nu fungerar lampknappen utan att förstöra min automation för att tända/släcka lamporna. Enda nackdelen jämfört med trådlösa alternativ är att den kopplas direkt i kopplingsdosan vilket kräver en elektriker, i gengäld slipper jag nu byta batterier och att utebelysningen är avslagen permanent när frugan eller sonen gllmmer av sig och släcker lampan på knappen.

Interrupteur fiable et compact, fonctionne bien avec Google Home. Nécessite un fil neutre, mais fait bien le job.

Wat een bereik heeft dat ding! Standaard zo’n 30-50 meter of 10-15m van binnen naar buiten door triple glas en dikke muren heen. Maar als je turbo modus aanzet dan zendt hij op 20dB en is het bereik 100-200 meter! Ideaal voor het opbouwen van je Zigbee mesh samen met een SLZB-06. Hij is heel compact en gaat makkelijk in een normale Nederlandse inbouwdoos. Eenvoudig te installeren. Je kan de schakelaar of drukknop los van de relais laten functioneren. Het lampje kan uit zodat hij niet door je wallplate schijnt. En zo is er nog meer in te stellen. Alles werkt top in Z2M en Home Assistant, inclusief state_action om onderscheid te maken tussen schakeling middels een commando of dat de fysieke schakelaar wordt gebruikt. Hij wordt geleverd met firmware v1.0.4 en er is nog geen nieuwe, maar ondersteunt wel OTA updates.

💡 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. ✔️
