SONOFF Smart Switch, MINIR4 Wi-Fi Smart Switch, 10A 2400W, Zero and Fire Wires, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home Assistant (1 PCS)

After moving into our new home we began looking at options for lighting both indoors and outdoors. With already owning a handful of 'smart bulbs' we were not looking forward to the cost of fitting a whole house. I then stumbled across this little bit of kit. After looking into it further and contemplating more expensive alternatives I decided to give Sonoff a try and why not at such a price. I did get my electrician to install this product just to make sure everything was safe. According to them it was a straight forward fit. It was small enough to fit inside a metal clad two way light switch in my garage. I had it connected to the my outside light circuit. The device connected to the Welink app very quickly and easily. I can now control said lighting circuit from my phone. I have also connected it to Alexa. In this instance I have set a schedule for the outside lights to turn on and off at certain times. I can safely say paired with standard bulbs this is a much more cost efficient and dare I say better alternative to 'smart bulbs' unless you required RGB/remote dimming functions. I will be purchasing more of these for other areas in the home and further adding this to my home assistant setup eventually which would appear to a very simple integration. My electrician has also said that he is going to be buying one for his outside lights as he was impressed with it!

Works very well with Alexa once you enable the Ewelink skill. Placed in a group, actions can be added to turn the switch on or off by voice, by button remote or by sensor. Great value for money. Bought two of these when they were £12 each, which was oddly cheaper than buying a bundle of two. Could have bought the no-neutral version, but I needed to control these over WiFi as they are placed inside metal wall boxes, which Zigbee probably couldn't penetrate. You also need to connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi as 5 GHz is not supported and will prevent connection if you have the same SSID for both frequencies. I give my SSIDs different names for this reason.

These are great for placing behind switches are they are so small

I put this behind a lamp in the living room so I could control it with Alexa and Google Home. Setup through the eWeLink app was straightforward, took about ten minutes to get it connected to the wifi and linked to my voice assistants. It works reliably and I've had no issues with it dropping off the network. The switch itself is compact enough to fit inside the lamp base housing, which was important for keeping things tidy. I also set up a couple of schedules through the app so the lamp comes on automatically in the evening. For the price, it does exactly what you'd want a smart switch to do. Only thing I'd mention is the instructions could be a bit clearer for anyone not used to wiring, but if you've done basic electrical work before it's simple enough.

I’ve used previous versions of Sonoff switches, but this Mini R4 is a massive improvement just based on the size alone. It is absolutely tiny. If you live in a UK house with those annoying shallow 35mm back boxes, this will not fit, you will need 47mm and most of the house will not have neutral in the light switch, so would suggest for no neutral sonoff smart switch. I managed to tuck it behind a standard light switch with room to spare for the wires. Setup was a doddle via the eWeLink app, and it discovered the device immediately. I really like the 'detach relay' mode—it allows me to use the physical wall switch to trigger scenes without actually cutting the power to my smart bulbs. Just remember: you do need a neutral wire at the switch location for this model, so check your wiring first. Highly recommended for a stealthy smart home setup. We had issues after few months but the sonoff customer care was helpful and they helped accordingly to resolve our complaint.

I used this to replace a dusk-to-dawn sensor on my outdoor lights. Although the Sonoff unit itself is very compact, I needed to install a deeper surface back box in my garage because the additional light switch I fitted was quite deep. The wiring instructions were clear and easy to follow, making installation straightforward. Connecting it to WiFi only took a few seconds, and the app is simple to use. I can control my lights with multiple time schedules or switch them on and off instantly with a single tap. Great value for money and works perfectly.

Very simple to set up and works well most of the time, but does keep becoming unresponsive. I have one of these mounted in a weatherproof junction box which powers my outside lights. It's linked to Home Assistant and every 2 or 3 weeks it becomes unresponsive and I have to turn the circuit breaker for the outside lighting circuit on and off to reset the device.

Nice and small, really good build. Used this to replaced failed outside light timer and working perfectly with home assistant via eweelink cloud. Job done.

Great size to hide in the electrical box. Using in north canadian winters with no glitches.

Zaten sonoff ürünleri kullanıcısıyım…. Çok küçük ve kullanışlı…. Priz yuvalarına uyumunda herhangi bir problem yok tavsiye ederim

👏🏻👌

Très bien, ça fait son job, c'est très petit. Ça rentre bien dans les prises. Plus besoin de se lever pour aller éteindre la lumière Alexa le fait pour nous. Merci.

Muy fácil montaje y más fácil aún la sincronización con la app, he probado otras mascar pero se desconectaban del wifi, este sin problemas y siempre conectado.
