7.3 Timers and Scene Automation

The eWeLink app allows you to set schedules for your lights to turn on or off automatically. You can also create smart scenes that trigger actions based on other Zigbee sensors (e.g., lights turn on when a door opens).

7.4 Detach Relay Function

The Detach Relay function allows the physical button on the switch to operate independently of the electrical relay. This is useful for controlling smart bulbs, ensuring they remain powered even when the physical switch is "off," thus keeping them online and controllable via the app or voice. This feature supports connecting smart lights only in the neutral required mode.

7.5 Open-Source Platform Compatibility

For advanced users, the SONOFF ZBM5 switch can be integrated with open-source platforms like Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, allowing for seamless integration with devices from various manufacturers. Functionality may vary when added via these platforms.

• Cannot Connect to Zigbee Hub: Ensure your Zigbee hub is powered on and within range. Put the switch into pairing mode correctly. Refer to your hub's manual for specific pairing instructions.
• Loss of Connectivity After Power Outage: Some users have reported that the switch may not automatically reconnect to the Zigbee network after a power outage until the physical button is pressed. If this occurs, manually press a button on the switch to re-establish connection.
• Inconsistent State in Home Assistant (Zigbee2MQTT/ZHA): If the physical button state does not always align with the reported state in Home Assistant, ensure your Zigbee2MQTT profile for the device is up-to-date. This issue has been addressed in recent updates for some configurations.
• Detach Relay Not Working: Ensure your switch is wired in 'With Neutral' mode, as the detach relay function supports smart lights only in this configuration.
