Connectivity and compatibility11

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.	ZigbeeZigbee 3.0 (IEEE 802.15.4); acts as a Zigbee router. The EU radio data in the manual also list Bluetooth LE; the maker does not describe Bluetooth control [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.	Hub (gateway) requiredA Zigbee gateway is required (product page: “Requires the compatible SONOFF Zigbee hub”). Recommended SONOFF: ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, NSPanel Pro, iHost; also ZBDongle-P/-E, Dongle-M, Dongle-PMG24, Dongle-LMG21. Philips and FRITZ!Box gateways are not supported. The gateway is sold separately [2]
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.	Via the maker's bridge hubNo native Matter. The maker describes adding it to Apple Home through a Matter bridge: ZBBridge-U or the eWeLink CUBE software [4]
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.	Via a Zigbee coordinator or hubVia a Zigbee coordinator: ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT with SONOFF adapters (Dongle Plus MG24, Dongle Lite MG21, Dongle Max, ZBDongle-P/-E). For full functionality in ZHA the maker suggests adding the mini-zbdim.py script [2]
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.	YesAs a Zigbee device it is controlled through a local gateway or coordinator; the maker lists Home Assistant (ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT), which does not use the cloud. Remote access and eWeLink cloud services need the internet [2]
App — what it means The maker’s app used to set up and control the device.	eWeLink (through a SONOFF Zigbee gateway)Alexa, Google Home and IFTTT link through the eWeLink cloud (cloud-to-cloud) [2]
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.	Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 [1]
Zigbee role	Router (repeats the Zigbee signal) [2]
Radio frequencies and transmit power	Zigbee: 2405–2480 MHz; Bluetooth LE: 2402–2480 MHz [1]
Transmit power — what it means The coordinator's maximum radio output. Higher power gives a steadier link to distant devices, but range in a home depends more on walls and the number of routers in the network.	Zigbee ≤ 10 dBm, Bluetooth LE ≤ 10 dBm [1]
Compatible gateways	SONOFF ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, NSPanel Pro, iHost; ZBDongle-P, ZBDongle-E, Dongle-M, Dongle-PMG24, Dongle-LMG21The first four are the maker’s recommended models. Philips and FRITZ!Box gateways are not supported [1]

Control and features6

Channels (separate light circuits) — what it means How many separate light circuits the dimmer controls independently — usually the number of keys or control zones on the panel (for example, a chandelier and spots).	1One load output (terminal O) [1]
Panel control type — what it means How you operate it by hand: pressing a key with travel and a click, touching glass with no travel, swiping, turning a knob, or using a screen with menus. On dimmers brightness usually changes by holding a key, with separate brighter/dimmer buttons, or by turning.	Mechanical keysRound key: upper part — brighter, lower part — dimmer (short or long press), centre button — on/off [1]
Backlight and indicators — what it means How the panel lights up: just an on/off indicator, a soft backlight to find the keys in the dark, an indicator of the current brightness level, or decorative lighting. Adjusting or switching off the backlight is in the note if the maker describes it.	NoneNo key backlight or front-panel indicator is described. Per the help-centre diagram, the blue network-status LED sits on the back of the module next to the service button; it can be switched off in eWeLink (Network Indicator) [3]
State after power restore — what it means What state the load returns to when power comes back after an outage: on, off, as it was before, or the opposite. The options you can choose in settings are listed.	On, Off, last state, opposite of last statePower-on State setting in eWeLink; per the maker’s table it is also available in Home Assistant (ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT). The restore can be delayed (0.5 s – 59 min 59.5 s) [2]
Energy metering — what it means Whether the switch shows in the app how much the connected appliance uses: live power and accumulated kWh.	YesShows the real-time power draw of the fixtures in the app [2]
Inching mode	YesAutomatically turns off or on after a set time: 0.5 s – 59 min 59.5 s [2]

Power and load7

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
Max power per channel (resistive) — what it means Power of incandescent lamps, 230 V halogen lamps, heaters and other resistive loads per channel. For LEDs, motors and power supplies the permitted power is lower — see the separate figures.	400 WIncandescent and halogen lamps up to 400 W; dimmable electronic transformers up to 200 W. The product page notes that in leading-edge mode only such legacy lamps under 100 W are supported [2]
Minimum load — what it means The lowest lamp wattage on the circuit at which the device works reliably. It matters for no-neutral wiring and for dimmers with LED lamps: below it, lights may flicker or glow faintly when off.	Not stated by the manufacturer
Supply voltage — what it means The supply voltage (and current, if stated) as the maker gives it. It must match your mains or adapter.	220–240 V AC, 50 HzProduct page: 220–240 V only; do not go outside the voltage limits [1]
Power source — what it means Where the device gets its power: 230 V mains, an adapter, USB, batteries or a built-in battery.	230 V mains [1]
Electronic transformer load	200 WDimmable electronic transformers only (for extra-low-voltage systems) [2]
Protection features	Overheat protection (built-in NTC cuts the output), overload and overcurrent protection [4]

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.	RequiredMaker’s FAQ: Orb-ZBDIM requires a neutral wire. Terminals L, N, output O and S1, S2 [2]
Front panel material — what it means What the visible part is made of. Glass and plastic differ in look, feel and scratch resistance; details (tempered, matte, anti-glare) are in the note.	Plastic (PC/ABS)Casing material is polycarbonate (PC). Glass is not mentioned in the documents [1]
Wall box type — what it means Which wall box the device is designed for, per its documentation. 86 × 86 mm plates fix with screws 60 mm apart, as on a round European box; check that the housing depth fits your box — on dimmers it is often greater than on ordinary switches.	86 × 86 mm box (86-type), Round EU box (60 mm screw spacing)The maker lists 86-type boxes and round European boxes Ø 60 mm. Per the drawing, the fixing holes are 60 mm apart and the in-wall part of the housing is 21 mm deep [5]
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.	86 × 86 × 33.7 mmThe maker’s drawing rounds the depth to 34 mm, of which 21 mm sits inside the wall box; the rear module is 49 × 50.5 mm [1]
Weight — what it means The device’s weight without packaging, per the maker.	83 gNet [1]
Recommended wire gauge	0.75–1.5 mm² (18–16 AWG), copper conductor only, solid or stranded [1]
Recommended circuit breaker	16 A [2]
Certifications — what it means Standards and certifications the maker lists for this model (for example CE, RoHS, Zigbee 3.0, Matter).	CE, RoHS [1]

Lighting4

Dimming method — what it means How the dimmer cuts the mains sine wave. Trailing-edge dimming usually runs dimmable LED lamps more quietly and with less flicker; leading-edge is designed for incandescent lamps and conventional transformers. Universal models pick the mode themselves or let you switch it in settings.	Universal (selectable)In the eWeLink app (Dimming Type) you choose leading-edge or trailing-edge dimming. Per the product page, leading-edge mode is only for incandescent and halogen lamps under 100 W [2]
Min/max brightness calibration — what it means Whether you can set the lowest and highest brightness to suit your lamps. This helps remove flicker or buzzing of LED lamps at low brightness and avoids the dead part of the scale where the lamp no longer lights.	YesAuto calibration (hold the button on the back for 10 s, or in the app) and manual calibration of minimum and maximum brightness in eWeLink; per the maker’s table the dimmer settings are also available in Home Assistant (ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT) [2]
Compatible loads	Dimmable LED lamps (up to 200 VA), incandescent and halogen lamps (up to 400 W), dimmable electronic transformers (up to 200 W). Not suitable: fluorescent lamps, CFLs, LED strips, inductive loads (motors, fans). [2]
Dimming range	0–100 % [4]
