Manufacturer images
Lift the R5W off its wall plate and the switch turns into a carry-around six-scene remote. Commands are executed locally by a SONOFF relay or switch with eWeLink-Remote (sold separately) — without one the R5W controls nothing.
No separate hub is needed, but a SONOFF device with the eWeLink-Remote gateway function is: MINIR4, MINIR3, BASICR4, MINI-RBS, DUALR3 relays, M5 and TX Ultimate wall switches, S40 plug, B05-BL bulb, NSPanel Pro panel or iHost hub. Without such a device the remote controls nothing. One gateway takes up to 8 remotes; a remote pairs with one gateway only.
We deliver across Moldova. Availability, delivery timing and cost are confirmed with a manager before order fulfilment.

Connectivity — what it meansThe wireless link or network the device uses.

|---|---|
Hub required — what it meansWhether 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 neededNo separate hub is needed, but a SONOFF device with the eWeLink-Remote gateway function is: MINIR4, MINIR3, BASICR4, MINI-RBS, DUALR3 relays, M5 and TX Ultimate wall switches, S40 plug, B05-BL bulb, NSPanel Pro panel or iHost hub. Without such a device the remote controls nothing. One gateway takes up to 8 remotes; a remote pairs with one gateway only [2] |
Direct control without a hub — what it meansWhether the button can control compatible bulbs, relays or controllers directly, with no gateway or internet — via TouchLink, direct Zigbee binding or radio pairing with a receiver.

Number of commands (scenes) — what it meansHow many different commands the device can be given in total — keys × press types — according to the manufacturer.
