Smart Switches

A Sonoff Smart Switch is a wireless switch that you control with your phone. It lets you manage electronic devices in your home.

The water heater usually has a lot higher start Amp, so you should connect it to a minimum of 20 AMP.

• If you care about seeing the water temperature of your water heater, and the distance between the Sonoff device and the water tank is less than 5 meters, check out the Sonoff TH Origin 20A or Sonoff TH Elite 20A and the Sonoff temperature sensor.
• If your water heater requires between 8A and 17A, and you do not care about monitoring the temperature, than the Tongou eWeLink Smart Circuit Breaker 63A is the best choice. As a bonus, you also get to monitor the power used by the water heater.

• The Sonoff Basic and Sonoff Mini are smart home gadgets made by Sonoff. They both connect via WiFi and can be managed from afar using the eWeLink app on your phone. However, there are some key differences.
• The Sonoff Basic is larger and can handle various appliances like lamps and fans. It comes with a standard-sized wall plate (86mm x 86mm) that fits over a single gang electrical box.
• On the flip side, the Sonoff Mini is smaller and built for controlling smaller appliances like lights and outlets. Its wall plate (45mm x 23mm) can fit into a single gang electrical box (behind a light switch) or be directly mounted on a surface with screws.
• Both gadgets allow remote on/off control and scheduling. However, the Sonoff Mini has extras like voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
• Overall, the main difference between the Sonoff Basic R4 and Sonoff Mini R4 is the size and design of the devices, as well as a few additional features on the Mini.

• The Sonoff BASICR4 is a DIY switch, meaning that you will need to use your own wires to link it to input and output.
• The Sonoff S26R2 is a smart plug, it does not require any DIY work. You just plug it in your wall outlet.

• Check out the SONOFF 4CH PRO R3 4-gang Wi-Fi Smart Switch.  It supports four channels of 220V AC or 9-23V DC.
• Or check out the SmartWise 5V-32V smart switch, which works with the eWeLink app. It supports 5V-32V DC.

• If your wall switch contains one button, then check out the Sonoff MINI R4.
• If your wall switch contains two buttons, then check out the Sonoff DUAL R3.
• If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution with touch screen and two buttons, check the Sonoff NSPanel.

Check out the Sonoff Dual R3. It is a two-gang smart switch relay product that can measure power usage in a small size.

And if you’re looking for Matter Support, the Sonoff SwitchMan M5 Matter Smart Light Switch seamlessly integrates with other Matter-enabled devices like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.

• You can also check out the Sonoff NSPanel. It has two buttons and a touch screen. It can help you achieve the use of specific scene modes in different scenes with one tap. In addition to the scenario based control, it is compatible with almost all sonoff devices and the central control function of the control group.

No, there is no limit to the number of Sonoff Smart Switches that you can control with the eWeLink app.

YES! You can control your Sonoff Smart Switch from anywhere using the eWeLink app on your smartphone. This gives you the convenience of managing your lights and appliances remotely, even when you’re not at home.

To do this, you’ll need:

• A working WiFi network and internet connection at home: This allows your Sonoff switch to communicate with the eWeLink app.
• Mobile internet (WiFi or 4G) on your phone: This enables you to access the eWeLink app and control your switch from wherever you are.

By having these two things in place, you can easily turn devices on or off, create schedules, and set up smart scenes using the app, giving you full control over your smart home even when you’re away.

You have two options to make your AC smart:

• Option A:
  • If your AC saves its power state after electricity is restored, you can use a Sonoff BASIC R4 or Sonoff smart plug to control it ON/OFF and set schedules.
  • If your AC does not save its power after electricity is restored, using a Sonoff smart plug or Sonoff basic will not help and you should check the option B.
• Option B ( If your AC has an infrared remote):
  • You can use the Broadlink RM Mini 4C to control it on/off and change its temperature and other settings. Check <a href="“>this video to learn how to use the Broadlink to control your AC.
    • Note: The Broadlink does not remember the state of your AC(just like the remote), it just assumes it. So if the AC is off and you turn it on using the Broadlink app, it will turn on, and if it is on and you turn it on as well from the Broadlink app, it will turn off, because the ON/OFF signal is the same IR signal (unless your AC has separate buttons for on and off).

The main differences between the Sonoff S26R2 and S60 smart plugs are:

• Energy monitoring: The S60 has built-in energy monitoring, which allows you to track your appliance’s power consumption daily, monthly, and yearly. The S26R2 doesn’t have this feature.
• Overload protection: The S60 has overload protection, which automatically cuts power if the appliance plugged in exceeds the maximum safe load. The S26R2 lacks this safety feature.

The installation of the Sonoff products typically requires basic electrical knowledge and skills. If you’re comfortable working with electricity, you may be able to install it yourself.

However, if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with the installation process, it’s always best to consult a qualified electrician to ensure the switch is installed safely and correctly.

If you need any assistance from our support team for the installation, we can provide you this additional service, feel free to contact us.
