Home automation has become an essential solution for improving comfort, security, and energy consumption management in a home. Among the most recognized manufacturers in the sector, Sonoff holds a prominent position thanks to a complete range of accessible, high-performance products compatible with the main communication protocols on the market. Sonoff home automation products make it easy to automate an apartment, a house, or professional premises while benefiting from a scalable installation. Whether you want to control your lighting, manage your electrical appliances, or enhance the security of your home, Sonoff offers equipment adapted to all project levels.
Sonoff, a recognized brand
For several years, Sonoff has been developing solutions that make smart homes more accessible. The brand relies on recognized technologies such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Matter to offer equipment capable of communicating effectively with each other and integrating easily into the main home automation ecosystems.
And one of Sonoff's great strengths is undoubtedly the diversity of its catalog. The brand markets smart relays, connected plugs, sensors, hubs, touch control panels, and surveillance cameras. This richness allows for the design of a completely personalized installation, capable of evolving with the needs of the household.
Our Sonoff collection naturally brings together a selection of the best solutions offered by the manufacturer. You'll find the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro and Zigbee Bridge Ultra hubs, which form the core of a high-performance Zigbee installation, as well as the Sonoff iPlug S60 smart plug, ideal for remotely controlling an electrical appliance or automatically programming its operation. Users wishing to centralize control of their home will also appreciate the NSPanel Pro, a touch panel that allows managing multiple devices from a single interface. For security, the range also includes various connected cameras such as the CAM Slim Gen2 or CAM-PT2 models.
Our flagship Sonoff products to discover at SAWATELL
To help you build your setup, here are some flagship products from our catalog. For wall switches, the SONOFF SwitchMan M5 (Wi-Fi, Matter compatible) and its Zigbee version, the SwitchMan ZBM5, allow you to control lighting while retaining a physical wall switch. To centralize your home, the NSPanel and NSPanel Pro touch panels combine scenarios, thermostat, and shortcuts on a single screen.
More demanding users will appreciate the SONOFF iHost local home automation hub, designed for local automation. For a first device, the iPlug S60 smart plug and the BASICR4 Wi-Fi relay offer immediate ease of use, while the ultra-compact ZBMINI Extreme (ZBMINIR2) Zigbee module discretely fits behind an existing switch. Finally, to build an open Zigbee/Thread gateway, the USB Dongle Plus MG24 and the Zigbee Bridge Pro and Zigbee Bridge Ultra hubs are excellent starting points. Want to get started quickly? Our Sonoff home automation kits include the essentials in a single pack.
Discover Sonoff home automation products
Sonoff home automation products allow for the creation of smart scenarios adapted to each user's habits. It becomes possible to automatically turn on lighting when presence is detected, program certain devices to turn off at night, or receive a notification when motion is identified by a sensor or camera.
This automation not only improves daily comfort but also contributes to reducing energy consumption. By precisely controlling electrical equipment with power metering modules or the SONOFF TRVZB thermostatic head, it is possible to avoid unnecessary operation and optimize electricity expenses.
The Sonoff ecosystem also has the advantage of being particularly scalable. An installation can start with a few connected plugs or switches before gradually integrating sensors, relay modules, cameras, or Zigbee hubs. This approach allows for the evolution of your home automation system without having to replace already installed equipment.
To assist users in their choices, SAWATELL also provides a complete home automation guide, which presents the main protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Thread, or Matter and explains their differences according to usage. This resource provides an excellent basis for designing a reliable, durable, and perfectly adapted installation for your needs.
Sonoff and Home Assistant: local control in the spotlight
Many Sonoff products integrate perfectly with Home Assistant, the open-source home automation platform prized for local control. Zigbee devices (SNZB switches, ZBMINI modules, sensors, SwitchMan ZBM5) connect via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT using a compatible key like the Dongle Plus MG24. Wi-Fi modules (BASICR4, MINI, DUALR3, etc.) can be controlled on a local network thanks to SonoffLAN integration, or even reflashed with ESPHome by advanced users for total autonomy.
Recent Matter-compatible products, such as the SwitchMan M5, connect directly to Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa without going through the cloud. To go further, the SONOFF iHost hub centralizes your automations locally and opens up to solutions like Home Assistant: your scenarios then continue to function in all circumstances, even without an internet connection, while preserving the confidentiality of your data.
Answers to frequently asked questions about Sonoff home automation products
Do I need a hub (gateway) to use Sonoff?
That depends on the protocol. Sonoff Wi-Fi products (like the BASICR4 or the iPlug S60 plug) work without a gateway, via the home network. Zigbee products, however, require a gateway such as the Zigbee Bridge Pro, the Zigbee Bridge Ultra, or a dongle associated with Home Assistant.
Are Sonoff products compatible with Home Assistant?
Yes. Zigbee models integrate via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, Wi-Fi modules via SonoffLAN integration or ESPHome, and Matter products directly. The SONOFF iHost hub also facilitates 100% local management.
Is Sonoff compatible with Matter, Alexa, and Google Home?
A large part of the range is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home via the eWeLink app. The latest products, like the SwitchMan M5, also support the Matter standard for multi-ecosystem interoperability.
What is the difference between Sonoff's Wi-Fi and Zigbee ranges?
The Wi-Fi products connect directly to your router, without a gateway, which is ideal for a few devices. Zigbee products consume less power, form a very stable mesh network, and are recommended as soon as the installation includes numerous sensors and modules.
Can Sonoff devices be controlled without an internet connection?
Yes, local control is possible: local scenes from Zigbee bridges, SonoffLAN integration, the iHost hub, or a Home Assistant installation allow automations to remain functional even offline.
Which Sonoff products should I choose to get started?
For a first installation, the iPlug S60 plug, the BASICR4 relay, and the NSPanel panel are excellent choices. You can also opt for a ready-to-use Sonoff home automation kit, then add sensors and modules over time.
