Zigbee 3.0 Wall Switch SONOFF ZBM5 Type 86
SONOFF SwitchMan ZBM5 is an advanced wall switch communicating via Zigbee 3.0, which is perfect for a modern Smart Home system. The device stands out for its versatility – it can work with or without a neutral wire, making it easy to upgrade existing electrical installations. It is fully compatible with popular Zigbee hubs and open-source environments such as Home Assistant or Zigbee2MQTT.
Key features:
- Universal installation: Seamless operation in both installations with a neutral wire and older systems without one.
- Wide compatibility: Compatible with SONOFF hubs (NSPanel Pro, iHost, ZB Bridge) and popular ZBDongle-E/P dongles.
- Open-source support: An ideal choice for DIY systems, with easy integration into Home Assistant (ZHA) and Zigbee2MQTT environments.
- Detach Relay mode: Allows you to control programmed scenes even when the physical switch is turned off.
- Advanced Smart features: Full control via the app, voice command support, scheduling, and smart scenes creation.
Important installation and compatibility information
The ZBM5 is designed for maximum convenience and direct compatibility with most home wiring. However, a few important rules must be kept in mind for proper operation:
- Gateway required: The device requires a compatible Zigbee gateway (e.g., from the SONOFF eWeLink ecosystem) or a Zigbee2MQTT-compatible coordinator to operate.
- Minimum load (no N wire mode): When connected without a neutral wire, the minimum connected load cannot be less than 3W (otherwise the device may not turn off properly).
- Smart bulb limitations: Smart light sources cannot be used as a load in the no neutral wire mode (operating with smart lighting requires an installation with an N wire).
