Keys (channels): 3
Neutral wire (N): Required
Connectivity: Wi-Fi

One dim-gray plate runs the whole kitchen evening — ceiling light for cooking, the dining lamp for dinner, an under-cabinet strip for late tea, each on its own key and schedule.

No separate hub required

Connects to the router over Wi-Fi and is added directly in eWeLink; no gateway is needed. An eWeLink CUBE hub is only needed to bridge it to Matter / Apple Home.

Control and features6

Keys (channels) — what it means How many separate load circuits the switch controls independently — usually the number of keys (1, 2 or 3 groups of lights). Scene-only keys without their own relay are not counted.	33C version: 3 mechanical keys, each with its own output (L out1…L out3) per the wiring diagram [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.	Mechanical keysPhysical keys: single press toggles on/off, hold 5 s for pairing mode [3]
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.	NoDetach Relay is not in the model's feature list, and the M5 series is not in Sonoff's official Detach Relay device list (only the Zigbee ZBM5 is). A key press can trigger an eWeLink scene, but the relay still switches [4]
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.	Status indicator, night key backlightBlue network indicator (can be switched off in eWeLink) and key backlight to find the switch in the dark; backlight brightness is adjustable in the app [2]
Power-on state after outage	On / Off / Last state (set in eWeLink) [2]
Inching mode	YesAutomatically turns the load off or on after a set time [2]

Housing and installation7

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.	RequiredThe wiring diagram shows terminals N (neutral), L (live) and the L out outputs; the neutral wire is connected to the switch [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: PC V0 (flame-retardant polycarbonate). The front panel material is not stated separately [1]
Wall box type — what it means Which wall box the switch 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.	86 × 86 mm box (86-type)"86-type" version. The maker warns that 80-type and 86-type boxes need different models; check your box before ordering. Housing depth 41.5 mm [3]
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 × 41.5 mm [1]
Weight — what it means The device’s weight without packaging, per the maker.	156 g [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.	In a wall box behind the switchThe power module is screwed to the wall box; the key module clips onto the metal frame [2]
Certifications — what it means Standards and certifications the maker lists for this model (for example CE, RoHS, Zigbee 3.0, Matter).	CE, CQC, SRRC, RoHS, UKCA; standard EN 60669-2-1; EU declaration under Directive 2014/53/EU (RED)The EU declaration [5] covers models M5-1C/2C/3C-86 and -86W [2]

Connectivity and compatibility9

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-FiWi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz only. The Bluetooth 4.2 LE listed in the manual is used only for initial setup (Bluetooth pairing mode) [2]
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; no gateway is needed. An eWeLink CUBE hub is only needed to bridge it to Matter / Apple Home [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 built-in Matter. Per the maker: into Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant via the Matter bridge built into the eWeLink CUBE hub (sold separately) [3]
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: the app controls the switch directly through the router without the cloud (on/off) [2]
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 hubThe maker describes Home Assistant access through the eWeLink CUBE hub's Matter bridge [3]
App — what it means The maker’s app used to set up and control the device.	eWeLink [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.	ESP32 [1]
Wi-Fi	IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4 GHz (Wi-Fi 4) [1]
Bluetooth version — what it means The Bluetooth version used for the remote, wireless headphones, speakers and gamepads. Newer versions hold the connection more steadily and use less power on connected devices.	4.2 LE (for setup) [1]

Power and load7

Max current per channel — what it means The highest current one key's relay handles with a resistive load. For LED lamps check the separate “LED load” figure, which is usually noticeably lower.	2 A2 A per gang, 6 A total maximum; 100–240 V ~ [1]
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.	100 W100 W per gang at 220 V (60 W at 110 V) [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.	440 WResistive load 440 W at 220 V per gang (220 W at 110 V); 1320 W for the whole switch [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.	6 AThe maker requires a 6 A MCB or RCBO upstream of the switch [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 Hz [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 [2]
Inductive load	100 W at 220 V, 60 W at 110 VThe documentation does not say whether this is per gang or for the whole switch [2]

Measurement and detection1

Built-in sensors — what it means Sensors inside the panel. A proximity sensor wakes the screen as you approach; a light sensor adjusts brightness; built-in temperature and humidity sensors can be used in automations.	NoneNo sensors are listed in the specifications or features [2]

Model and version1

Colour — what it means The housing colour of this model. Other colours in the same series are separate products.	GreyDark grey (Dim Gray) per the 86-type variant photo in the official Sonoff store. The help-centre spec table says "White", but Sonoff sells the white version as M5 Matter (…-86W models) [3]

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 [2]
Operating humidity — what it means The rated relative humidity range, non-condensing.	5–95%Non-condensing [2]
