Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Matter
Channels (relays): 1
Neutral wire (N): Required

Countless DIY smart homes began with a cheap Sonoff Basic relay. The fifth generation keeps that recipe — one 10 A line, nothing extra — and now speaks Matter.

No separate hub required

Connects to the router over Wi-Fi and is added directly in eWeLink or in a Matter app (Matter needs the platform's controller); no separate Sonoff gateway is needed.

Connectivity and compatibility10

Connectivity — what it means The wireless link or network the device uses. Wi-Fi connects straight to the router; Zigbee, Thread and Bluetooth Mesh work through a hub or gateway.	Wi-Fi, MatterWi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz; Matter over Wi-Fi. Bluetooth (BLE 2402–2480 MHz) is listed in the EU declaration and is used for Matter commissioning [1]
Hub required — what it means Whether the device needs a separate hub, gateway or coordinator to work in a smart home. If so, it is sold separately unless stated otherwise.	No hub neededConnects to the router over Wi-Fi and is added directly in eWeLink or in a Matter app (Matter needs the platform's controller); no separate Sonoff gateway is needed [1]
Matter support — what it means Whether the device supports the Matter standard, directly or through a bridge. Matter lets you add it to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant.	Yes, built inMatter over Wi-Fi (Matter-certified). The maker's table lists Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant with on/off, voice and scenes; SmartThings pairing is also described [1]
Works without internet — what it means Whether the device keeps working over the local network or through a hub when the internet is down. Cloud features (remote access, voice assistants) need the internet.	YeseWeLink LAN mode works without the cloud; the maker states the device stays responsive when the internet is down. Through Matter, control stays on the home network [1]
Home Assistant — what it means How the device connects to Home Assistant: a built-in integration, a Zigbee coordinator, Matter or the maker’s cloud integration.	Supported directlyVia Matter: Home Assistant is listed in the maker's compatibility table (on/off, scenes) [1]
App — what it means The maker’s app used to set up and control the device.	eWeLinkAlso Matter apps: Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant. Magic Switch Mode works in eWeLink only [1]
Processor / radio chip — what it means The microcontroller or radio module inside, per the maker (for example ESP32). For firmware such as WLED and ESPHome it determines available features and whether the device can be re-flashed.	BK7238 [1]
Wi-Fi	IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz [1]
Radio frequencies and transmit power	Wi-Fi 2412–2472 MHz, ≤20 dBm; BLE 2402–2480 MHz, ≤20 dBm (EU) [2]
Third-party platforms (via eWeLink)	Alexa, Google Home, IFTTT [1]

Control and features6

Channels (relays) — what it means How many independent loads the module switches: 1 — one light circuit or appliance, 2 — two circuits (e.g. chandelier and accent lights), 4 — a panel unit for several circuits.	1 [1]
Wired wall switch input — what it means Whether you can keep an ordinary wall switch or push button and wire it to the module, so the light works from both the switch and the app. Shows which switch types are supported; on dimmers a momentary button usually also adjusts brightness when held.	Rocker switch (latching)Magic Switch Mode: an ordinary double-pole rocker switch stays upstream of the module with its L1 and L2 terminals bridged, so the module stays online when the switch is off. eWeLink only; lamps 3–100 W (LED, energy-saving, incandescent). There is no separate push-button input [1]
Energy metering — what it means Whether the switch shows in the app how much the connected appliance uses: live power and accumulated kWh.	NoNo consumption metering in the specifications or the eWeLink feature list [1]
Detached key mode (scene button) — what it means The switch wired to the module can be decoupled from the relay: the load stays powered and a press runs a scene. Needed when the circuit has smart bulbs.	NoThe model is not in Sonoff's official list of devices with the Detach Relay feature [3]
Special relay modes — what it means Modes beyond on/off. Pulse: the relay switches itself off after a set time (bell, lock, gate). Interlock stops two channels being on at once. Motor mode drives curtains or a gate: up, down, stop.	Pulse / auto-off timer (inching)Inching: auto-off or auto-on after 0.5 s – 59 min 59.5 s [1]
Power-on state after outage	On / Off / Last state / Flip; with an adjustable delay of 0.5 s – 59 min 59.5 s [1]

Housing and installation8

Neutral wire (N) — what it means Whether the wall box needs a neutral wire. Older wiring often brings only the live wire to the switch; then pick a model that works without N.	RequiredTerminals N In / L In on the input and N Out / L Out on the output; neutral and live are both wired to the module [2]
Mounting — what it means How and where it is installed: in a wall box, on a wall or ceiling, on a DIN rail, on a table or in a socket.	Surface / inline on the cableInline housing on the cable; for wall fixing use M3 screws. The DIN-rail and magnetic brackets on the maker's page are 3D-print designs, not included [2]
Dimensions (W × H × D) — what it means The device’s size in millimetres as the maker states it. Check that it fits the wall box, niche or shelf.	80.5 × 41.5 × 23.6 mm [1]
Weight — what it means The device’s weight without packaging, per the maker.	44.8 g [1]
Housing material	Polycarbonate (PC) [1]
Certifications — what it means Standards and certifications the maker lists for this model (for example CE, RoHS, Zigbee 3.0, Matter).	CE, FCC, RoHSThe Sonoff store page also calls the device Matter-certified [1]
Wire size	Copper only, 16–14 AWG (≈1.5–2.5 mm²), solid or stranded; T40 [1]
Upstream circuit breaker	MCB or RCBO rated 10 A [1]

Power and load7

Max current per channel — what it means Highest current through one relay with a resistive load. 10 A at 230 V is about 2,300 W of heater or incandescent lamps; for LEDs and motors the permitted load is lower.	10 A10 A resistive load; 100–240 V AC [1]
Dry contact (volt-free output) — what it means The relay only opens or closes its contacts without putting voltage on them. This is how boilers, gates, barriers and other devices with a control input are connected.	NoThe L Out terminal is a live 100–240 V AC output, not a volt-free contact [2]
Max total current — what it means Current the device handles across all channels at once. On multi-channel models the total is often lower than per-channel current × number of channels.	10 A [1]
Max power per channel (resistive) — what it means Power of incandescent lamps, heaters and other resistive loads per channel at 220–240 V. For LEDs, motors and power supplies the permitted power is lower.	Not stated by the manufacturer
LED load per channel — what it means Total LED lamp wattage per channel that the maker allows. Add up the watts of all lamps on that circuit and compare; for dimmers only dimmable lamps count. If the maker gives the figure in VA or as a total for all channels, the note says so.	Not stated by the manufacturer
Module power supply — what it means Where the device gets its power: 230 V mains, an adapter, USB, batteries or a built-in battery.	AC mains [1]
Supply voltage — what it means The supply voltage (and current, if stated) as the maker gives it. It must match your mains or adapter.	100–240 V AC, 50/60 HzSingle-phase only [1]

Model and version1

Colour — what it means The housing colour of this model. Other colours in the same series are separate products.	White [1]

Operating conditions2

Operating temperature — what it means The air temperature range the device is rated for. The lower limit matters outdoors, on balconies and in unheated rooms.	−10…40 °C [1]
Operating humidity — what it means The rated relative humidity range, non-condensing.	5–95%Non-condensing [1]

Package contents1

Manufacturer warranty — what it means The warranty period the maker states. Confirm warranty terms in Moldova with the seller.	24 months“2-Year Hassle-Free Warranty” in the official SONOFF store [4]

In your home

Your home greets you with light — even at night.

With your hands full or on a nighttime trip down the hall, finding a switch is awkward. Routines light the way and turn off forgotten lights.

What to check before buying

Check the Matter controller and supported model functions; Thread may need a border router.
A neutral wire (N) is required: check it is in the back box, the box depth, the rated load and the manufacturer diagram.
Check Wi-Fi band, app, region and internet requirements.
