The cheapest wired-in retrofit option in this list: a tiny 39.5×33×16.8mm relay that hides behind an existing wired shutter/blind switch and joins straight into your Zigbee mesh, confirmed supported on Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA. It's rated for motors up to 1A at 230V mains, which covers the vast majority of domestic roller shutter motors — check your motor's nameplate before buying if it's an unusually powerful one. It also acts as a Zigbee router, quietly strengthening your mesh alongside its day job — a sensible pick if you're already committed to Zigbee and don't want a Z-Wave stick or Shelly's WiFi footprint for one shutter.
What can Home Assistant control on the SONOFF MINI-ZBRBS Zigbee Roller Shutter Switch?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Position | Cover (0-100%) | Open/close/stop with percentage reporting once travel calibration is completed; position writes are ignored before calibration. |
| Calibration | Select | Triggers or clears travel-time calibration via automatic or manual mode. |
| Calibration status | Sensor | Reports whether calibration has actually completed, so automations can gate percentage-based scenes rather than assume position accuracy. |
| Motor status | Sensor | Live motor direction feedback, useful for detecting a stalled or jammed shutter instead of trusting only the commanded state. |
| External trigger mode | Select | Matches the relay's input behaviour to the existing wired shutter switch type so it keeps operating normally alongside Zigbee control. |
Zigbee2MQTT exposes real percentage position rather than just open/close/stop, but only once travel calibration is run — either holding the physical button for automatic timing, or a manual sequence confirming fully open and fully closed — and a calibration-status flag lets an automation check that calibration actually completed before trusting position-based scenes. Some batches hit a cluster error during initial pairing, and open/close direction is occasionally reported inverted out of the box, both fixable in software rather than rewiring. An external-trigger-mode setting also lets it adapt to edge, pulse, or following-style wired switches, so the existing physical switch keeps working exactly as before once the relay is fitted behind it.
