Sonoff ZBMINIL2 is not a ZigBee router?

So, I’ve setup HA with ZHA and added a said switch. Everything works fine except that the switch is reported as EndDevice. I thought that it should be a router instead?

They made it clear on production data sheet, it is an end device because it doesn’t have a neutral.

Wasn’t clear for me either, but no it’s not a router. Didn’t check the sonoff site so my bad, and wasn’t specified on the vendors site.

@anon63427907 Does not having/needing a neutral always mean that it’s not a router? No neutral == no router? I know about the battery powered devices being an end device.

It is my personal impression after checking many no neutral switches, they are all (at least i checked) acting as end device.

“However, it’s worth noting that this comes with some downsides too: the devices does not offer power measurement features and is an end device,”
