ZBMINI ZigBee Two Way Smart Switch; Turn traditional switch to Smart Switch with Timer Internet; Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Samsung, Philips

These are the cheapest Zigbee switches you'll get in India. Using them with my Sonoff Zigbee Plus Dongle and a very old i3 Home Assistant server to mainly act as a router to other Sonff sensors.

I'm using this multiple devices as home automation. I've other WiFi switch but there lots of limitations. I've best broadband connection in spite of this I'm telling you (Best router also). WiFi devices need active internet connection to use or control the switchs.But in zigbee you are free from all such things. Just buy one Philips hue. (This switch is comparable with lots of zigbee Hub) I'm using this with Philips hue.If you are traveling too much and no one can switch on off your home light it can be easily choice. I connected all my outdoor light to zigbee switch, so all light on off daily without any tassel. Wifi device may not working after 7-10 days they need to restart but zigbee device restart period is bit longer then the wifi switch.New hue application is more easy, more attractive and more refine to use such devices.ProsThis device is one of the best device I've ever use. Due to use of zigbee signal it is more faster than wifi. Connecting for first time wifi device may need lots of efforts for some users. But zigbee device is very fast to connect to hub. Zigbee switchs not depend on wifi and use own communication band so it works even in far distance. This device is like one time investment as it have long durability. Zigbee app is more easy to scheduling of timing as off or on store in the hub. So when need to switch on device it will switch on automatically but in wifi active connection needed when need to switch on device. If some one want to switch on smart bulb for simple outdoor evening light on/off. (Means when dark during evening your light on automatically) then better to switch on this device as this fit in existing wiring board and no need to change led bulbs. As this is zigbee protocol device then this may work with Philips hue, sonoff and samsung hub etcConsThis device is more costly than wifi. Need another zigbee Hub. 2.4ghz router available easily then the zigbee Hub. Need to wiring for this device so some users need to contact electrician... Some more expense. Zigbee switch need hub as well as internet connection.Both in wifi and zigbee control from the far distance. If you are in Mumbai and you can control this switch in your home. Means these devices can be controlled from anywhere in the world after single setup.These information is based on my personal experience. Please avoid if you find something is incorrect as per own used.

Very expensive. Other bands are good and economic that this brand. Fennary dsmart switch is better. Try using it. Thanks

I prefer the ZigBee devices for Home automation as with Echo and Echo Studio I am able to do a local Home automation with Zigbee devices with no dependency on internet connection unlike with Wi-Fi devices. I use my EchoStudio as the Zigbee hub. The device was super easy to pair with Alexai. I had to create a ewelink account and link to my Alexa account.ii. Once that was done I was able to discover the device in Alexa and add the switch to my room and automation routines.The seller does not inform you on the site that warranty is void if you use the manual Switch mode (s1/S2) connection. While I can understand why it is so, not informing before purchase is cheating. Anyway if you cant handle electrical wiring, you should use a SmartPlug and not this device.——-update post a weekWorks beautifully with Alexa and Echo(one that supports zigbee) Strike step 1 above for setup, just make sure it is in pairing mode and ask Alexa to discover. Alexa will find the device as a light bulb, rename and you are good to go. EWeLink app not required. That is the power of zigbee devices. Don’t need to buy zigbee hun from the sonoff. Caveat - you must have a zigbee hub at home. I use Echo Sub as my prime hub. Helps me with local control -even with no internet - automation

Easy to install

Works as expected. I have connected it to Deco M9. You need to turn off 5g to connect. Deco does not recognise it as a switch rather as a light bulb. Only function available is on and off, not sure if any other functions exist. Quite compact and easy to configure.

These are very good for automation with a zigbee hub like philips hue or echo 4th gen. I am using a sonoff zigbee hub. But be careful when receiving it. I ordered 3 from genesis global seller and was delivered two Zigbee switches and one wifi model that was 3 generations old, but sneakily packed into a zbmini box. Fortunately Amazon refunded me for that and i returned it. The product is good but seller needs to be more careful. Recommend for home automation.
