How It Works

1
Turn off the breaker
Cut power to the wall switch. Remove the existing plate and pull out the old switch.
2
Wire the new switch
Connect Live (and Neutral if you have one), then the two switched outputs to each light. Mount it in the Type 80 box.
3
Pair to your Zigbee bridge
Open eWeLink → bridge → "Add Sub-device". Long-press a button on the switch until it blinks. Pair completes in ~30 seconds.
4
Build scenes + share
Set timers, group with other lights, share access with family. Add voice via Alexa or Google.

Product Details

Sonoff SwitchMan Zigbee Smart Wall Switch – ZBM5 (Type 80)

Same smart Zigbee (a wireless smart home protocol that connects devices through a hub) wall switch as the ZBM5-86, but in the Type 80 form factor – a compact European-style design. Supports both neutral and no-neutral wiring and works as a Zigbee router when wired with a neutral wire.


Key Features:

  • Flexible Wiring: Works with or without a neutral wire.
  • Type 80 Design: Compact European form factor.
  • Physical Buttons: Real click buttons – natural feel.
  • Zigbee Router (with neutral): Extends the Zigbee network when wired with neutral.
  • Works Offline: Automations continue even without internet.
  • Home Assistant Compatible: Works with Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA.
  • Voice Control: Works with Google Assistant and Alexa (through a Zigbee hub).

💡 Pro Tip: The Type 80 is a compact European-style switch. If you’re not sure which type fits your wall, measure your existing switch plate and compare before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Type 80 vs Type 86 - which one do I need?
Measure your wall plate. Type 80 (this one) is compact European, fits ~80mm box. Type 86 is the larger square Lebanese standard. If your existing plate is small / square / European-style, Type 80 fits. For most Lebanese homes with square 86 boxes, Type 86 may fit better - check before ordering.
Does it really work without a neutral wire?
Yes - supports both neutral and no-neutral wiring. With neutral, you get full features (including repeater). Without neutral, it still controls lights but skips the repeater function and may have small minimum-load limits.
Do I need a Zigbee bridge?
Yes - Zigbee devices need a bridge to reach Wi-Fi. Pair with a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro, Bridge Ultra, NSPanel Pro, or iHost.
Will the wall buttons still work when internet is down?
Yes - pressing the wall button always works directly. Smart automations between Zigbee devices also keep running offline. You only lose remote phone control.
Do I need an electrician?
Most users install it themselves - turn off the breaker, swap the wires from the old switch to the new one. About 15 minutes. If you're not confident with wiring, any electrician handles it quickly.
Is it compatible with Apple Home?
Through Matter, yes - but only via a Matter-capable bridge like the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Ultra or NSPanel Pro. Bridge Pro alone won't expose it to Apple Home.
Does it work with Home Assistant?
Yes - works with Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA on Home Assistant. Useful if you want full local control + advanced automations beyond what eWeLink offers.
