Did anyone achieve this with a zigbee switch/relay?

#23

Has anyone been able to flash the Sonoff ZBMINI?

#24

Where do you find updated firmware ?

#25

I dont think there is an alternative HW. I went with shellies in the end although I would have preferred a zigbee device but sadly I could find one that would allow for esphome etc. to flash to the device

#26

I purchased the ZBMINI hoping to use a zigbee device with ESPHome for a smart bulb. Just like the OP, I wanted to configure a fallback in case HA couldn’t be reached. Oh well, probably going to grab a few of the newer Shelly Plus 1PMs now

#27

ESPHome etc only works with ESP-based devices, that is WiFi only. You won’t find Zigbee devices that work with EspHome.

#28

hey, would this work for the no-neutral version of this relay?

#29

Variation on this topic - I’m adding the zbMinis to the HUE BRIDGE and then have Hue added to HA. My goal is similar - i want light control to work even if HA is down (clearly it won’t work if the Hue network is down, but I mess around much less with that one). I know this is a year old but i will update soon if this works well and if the zbmini button switch presses are exposed to HA via Hue Bridge Integration.

For those who don’t like the click: I contacted SONOFF support if they would be open to add the “detach relais” feature like Shelly it has… or if they even are open to create a new, smaller product without the relais. So… if you’re interested in that, please write to the SONOFF support as well to create some more requests about that and raise the awareness. Thanks!
