The neutral-wire sibling of the ZBMINIL2: 10A, acts as a Zigbee router that strengthens your mesh, and adds detach mode and turbo antenna mode in Zigbee2MQTT. If your back box has a neutral, buy this over the L2 every time. It shares its tiny 39.5x33x16.8mm shell with the WiFi-only MINIR4, so both fit the same shallow UK back boxes — but pick this one over the MINIR4 unless it's a single-switch, WiFi-only job: Zigbee adds a mesh-strengthening router instead of another WiFi device, skips reliance on a third-party HACS integration, and keeps working locally if broadband drops. MINIR4 only wins on unit price if you have no Zigbee coordinator yet.
What can Home Assistant control on the SONOFF ZBMINIR2?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Relay | Switch | Turn the load on/off |
| Detach relay mode | Switch | Keep the physical switch independent of relay state |
| Turbo mode | Switch | Boost radio TX power for a stronger Zigbee mesh signal |
| External trigger mode | Selector (edge/pulse/follow) | Choose how the physical switch input behaves |
Zigbee2MQTT exposes power-on-behaviour, network-indicator, a turbo radio-power mode, delayed-power-on timing, detach-relay mode and an external-trigger mode (edge/pulse/follow) with a dedicated action entity for switch-toggle events. Set external_trigger_mode to edge alongside detach_relay_mode and the existing wall switch fires the action entity as a pure momentary trigger without toggling the relay — letting an automation drive a smart bulb group independently of the physical switch, something relay-only Zigbee modules can't do. Detach mode has had repeat regressions in Zigbee2MQTT dev builds, so retest after upgrading firmware.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the SONOFF ZBMINIR2 work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The SONOFF ZBMINIR2 is controlled locally in Home Assistant through Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, so it keeps working if your internet connection or the SONOFF cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the SONOFF ZBMINIR2 use, and do I need a hub?
- The SONOFF ZBMINIR2 uses Zigbee. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Zigbee coordinator (for example a SkyConnect/ZBT-1 or Sonoff dongle) attached to your Home Assistant host. SONOFF's own hub is not required when you integrate through Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA.
- How much does the SONOFF ZBMINIR2 cost in the UK?
- The lowest price we have listed for the SONOFF ZBMINIR2 is £9.62 at Amazon UK. Prices were last checked in September 2026 and change often, so confirm on the retailer's page before buying.
