Devices for local smart homes

Sonoff SwitchMan ZBM5-2C Zigbee wall switch, 2-gang, 86 type, white

Two white keys on one frame each run their own zone over the home Zigbee mesh: kitchen and living room answer to a local hub, with the Wi-Fi router kept out of the path.

Sonoff MINI-ZB2GS-L-E Orb-ZBW2L Zigbee 2-gang wall switch, no neutral

An old Chișinău flat leaves only the live and two load wires in the switch box, no neutral at all — the MINI-ZB2GS-L-E drops a glass Zigbee panel onto exactly that.

Add one more repeater to your Zigbee mesh: wired with neutral, the ZBM5 relays the network and answers a local Home Assistant — no cloud, no account.

Pull off the white rocker that ten years of fingers turned yellow and the MINI-ZB2GS-E glass panel takes its place: two Zigbee 3.0 channels, neutral required.

The cheapest moment to make shutters smart is while walls are still open: Orb-ZBRBS drops a Zigbee panel with key, percentages and scenes into a standard 86×86 box.

An evening dim-to-30% runs entirely inside the Zigbee mesh — no Wi-Fi, no cloud: the MINI-ZBDIM takes commands straight from the coordinator and relays the network as a router.

Evenings at a soft 20% and mornings at full power happen behind your existing switch — the MINI-DIM hides in the wall box and keeps the wall button working.

The steel probe on its 1.5 m lead takes the cold and the liquid; the IP65 body with the LCD stays dry. The SNZB-02LD reads −40 to +115 °C — add a Zigbee 3.0 gateway for alerts.

Shower steam and balcony frost are exactly where the SNZB-02WD belongs: an IP65 case, a −20 to +60 °C range and a 2.2″ LCD; automations come alive once a Zigbee 3.0 hub joins.

The 43 mm body with its tilting antenna takes just one server USB port, and the bundled 0.5 m extension keeps the coordinator radio clear of USB 3.0 noise.

Dozens of Zigbee devices in Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA on a single stick: the TI CC2652P coordinator with +20 dBm output holds up to 200 nodes and reflashes into a router.

Unlike the ZBDongle-P built on the TI CC2652P, revision E runs a Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 with EmberZNet (EZSP) firmware, 20 dBm out of the box and Thread potential.

Pull the old mechanical switch off the wall and ZBMINIL2-E takes its place — a finished Zigbee switch with its own button that asks for no neutral in the box.

One stop by the front door switches off the whole exit route — three independent channels drive the hallway, kitchen and bathroom lights from a single 3-gang plate.

A 2024-built flat has a two-gang switch but no blue wire in the box — the MINI-ZB2GS-L makes both lighting lines smart without a neutral, over Zigbee.

A white glass plate with a lit ring sets brightness by touch or twist; on the Zigbee network through a Tuya gateway it eases the light from night-glow to full chandelier.

Thirty Wi-Fi clients on the family router are plenty — this Duo keeps both lighting lines off the 2.4 GHz band, runs them over Zigbee and relays the mesh as a router.

A Zigbee sensor flags an overheating room and the shutter glides down by itself: MINI-ZBRBS hides behind the existing wall switch and runs its automation locally, no cloud needed.

To guests it is just a wall switch — the key travels with the same mechanical click they expect, no touch glass or screens, while schedules and voice control work quietly inside.

Movie night starts before the phone is found — one press on the Orb 4-In-1 fires the whole scene. Four buttons, up to 16 commands; pair it with a Zigbee or eWeLink-Remote gateway.

Smoothly dims mains-voltage dimmable lamps over Zigbee: an existing halogen or LED fixture gains flicker-free brightness control, with no LED strip involved.

Chase, rainbow and per-pixel effects on a WS281x addressable strip, run from Smart Life through a Tuya ZigBee gateway: two SPI outputs, 15 A.

At the heart of a Xiaomi smart home, this hub unites Zigbee 3.0, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sensors and lights in one app, with Apple HomeKit support.

A glance at the relay tells you watts, volts, amps and total kWh on its built-in LCD — no phone required, with six months of hourly history kept in eWeLink.
