SONOFF ZBMINIR2 Zigbee switching actuator UP | Single Zigbee router

The SONOFF ZBMINIR2 is a compact Zigbee switching actuator that transforms conventional light switches into smart control elements. With its small size, high compatibility, and stable wireless connection, it is ideal for retrofitting existing installations. The device supports Zigbee 3.0 and can be integrated into numerous smart home systems.

• Model: ZBMINIR2
• Power supply: 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, max. 10 A
• Maximum load: 2400 W at 240 V
• Wireless standard: Zigbee 3.0
• Dimensions: 39.5 x 33 x 16.8 mm
• Housing material: PC V0 (flame retardant)
• Mounting: Flush-mounted box
• Temperature range: –10 °C to +40 °C
• Compatibility: eWeLink, SmartThings, Philips Hue, Amazon Echo, Home Assistant and more (Zigbee hub required)

The ZBMINIR2 was designed for easy integration into existing electrical installations. Its compact design fits into almost any flush-mounted box and can be mounted directly behind a classic light switch. Wiring is done via screw terminals, with a neutral conductor mandatory for the router. The device supports both rocker and push-button switches, with the mode easily switchable.

Control is via Zigbee 3.0, making the switching actuator compatible with a wide range of gateways and platforms. These include the SONOFF Zigbee Bridge, NSPanel Pro, Amazon Echo with Zigbee, SmartThings, and other systems supporting the Zigbee 3.0 protocol. After integration, the switch can be controlled via app, voice assistant, or automation scenes. Additionally, the ZBMINIR2 functions as a Zigbee repeater, improving the range and stability of the network, especially in larger apartments or houses.

A special feature is the so-called “Detach Relay Mode”. This allows the external switch to be operated without switching the relay inside the device. For example, a smart bulb remains permanently connected to the network even if the physical light switch is turned off. This function is particularly useful when using smart lamps that would lose their connection during a power outage.

The actuator also offers numerous automation functions. Time schedules, timers, and scenes can be defined via the eWeLink app. Group control and status queries are also possible. The firmware can be updated over-the-air (OTA), allowing future improvements and security updates to be installed directly. The green status LED indicates the connection status and assists with setup and troubleshooting.

The housing is made of flame-retardant plastic (PC V0) and is designed for use in dry indoor environments. The build quality is robust, and the device has been tested for over 100,000 switching cycles. The switch-on delay protects connected consumers from voltage spikes when power is restored. This makes the device suitable not only for light control but also for smaller household appliances such as fans or coffee machines.

Overall, the SONOFF ZBMINIR2 is a well-thought-out solution for anyone wanting to smartly expand their existing electrical installation. It combines easy installation, high compatibility, and reliable Zigbee communication in a compact device. Support for external switches and the detach mode make it a versatile component for modern smart home systems.
