How to connect Sonoff Switchman R5 to HA?

Hi, I have a Sonoff SwitchMan r5 Controller and a Sonoff Zigbee USB Dongle 3.0 Plus, but the controller communicates via Bluetooth, not via Zigbee.
What do I need to connect the r5 to Home Assistant? Do I need a Zigbee gateway working with the eWeLink app and an additional Zigbee device with Bluetooth? Can I somehow connect the switchman locally to the Zigbee Dongle if I buy, for example, an m5 switch?
