This all depends on if you have a neutral line available where you want to place it. I only have experience with the nutral line.

This version needs the neutral line to power the switch itself. I’m not sure how the no-neutral version works but it might be powered by a battery which you would then need to replace once in a while.

I have connected it using zigbee2mqtt without problems and the status updates back to HASS when you flip the switch manually.

Hello Guys,

Just i have installed Sonoff Mini with tasmota but as a standalone to first test the MQTT and configure it. After that i will try to put that behind the normal switch.

BUT,

by Lovlace i can’t switch on off. Well via Tasmota by Sonoff Mini. What i am doing wrong? Here is my configuration file:

mqtt:
broker: 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
discovery: true
username: mqtt_xxxx
password: !secret xxxxxx

#Sonoff Switch
switch:

  • platform: mqtt
    name: “Sonoff01”
    command_topic: “cmnd/sonoff/power”
    state_topic: “stat/sonoff/POWER”
    qos: 1
    payload_on: “ON”
    payload_off: “OFF”
    payload_available: “Online”
    payload_not_available: “Offline”
    retain: true

When i listen the MQTT via config with # i see the sonoff mini there and toggle actions via Tasmota.
