Sonoff Roller Shutter Switch | MINI-RBS

Sonoff Roller Shutter Switch (MINI-RBS)

A small module that wires into your existing curtain or roller-shutter motor and gives you smart control from your phone. Open, close, or set to any exact position – say “50% open” – and the shutter goes there automatically.

Supports Matter, so it shows up in Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings at the same time. Fits inside a standard Lebanese wall back-box.

Why people buy it

• Wake up to natural light. Schedule curtains to open at 7 AM automatically. Stop reaching for the cord every morning.
• Privacy on a schedule. Close at sunset, open at sunrise – no thought required.
• Exact position control. Half-open in the afternoon to keep heat out, fully open in the evening for the view.
• Works on roller shutters AND roller doors – same module, different motor.

Key Features

• Percentage position control – any position from 0% to 100%, not just open/closed.
• Automatic calibration – the switch learns your motor’s travel distance during first run.
• Scheduling + scenes in the eWeLink app.
• Matter support – Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings simultaneously.
• Voice control – “Hey Google, open the bedroom curtains to 50%.”
• Compact – fits inside standard Lebanese wall back-boxes.
• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Neutral wire required.

💡 Pro Tip: Schedule your curtains to open 30 minutes before your alarm goes off. Waking up to natural light makes a noticeable difference – your body actually wakes up properly instead of getting jolted by the alarm. Set it once in the app and forget about it for months.

⭐ Frequently Asked Questions

Does it really need a neutral wire?

Yes – and this is the #1 install issue. Most modern Lebanese homes have neutral at the wall switch, but older homes (especially with switched live only) may not. Check by opening your wall switch and looking for two wires (live + neutral). No neutral = this won’t work. Consider rewiring or use a Zigbee version paired with a separate relay.

Does it work with roller doors / garage doors?

Yes – works with any motor that accepts up/down signal inputs. Roller shutters, roller doors, projector screens, smart blinds.

How do I wire the up/down buttons?

Connect the up and down outputs of the MINI-RBS to your motor’s up and down inputs. The switch sends a brief pulse in the corresponding direction. Wiring diagram is on Sonoff’s documentation page 5-6.

Can I add a contactor for heavier motors?

Yes – if your motor draws more current than the MINI-RBS can handle directly, wire a contactor in between. The MINI-RBS triggers the contactor, the contactor drives the motor.

Can I replace it with a Zigbee version?

Yes – Sonoff also makes a Zigbee Roller Shutter Switch (MINI-ZBRBS). Same function, different protocol – pick Zigbee if you already have a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro or prefer offline reliability.
