pardon,
I meant ZBMINIR2
Totally aligned with you Eric, disappointed for the moment although the module is great

I hope this will be sorted out for us.
Iâm gonna keep an eye on this thread. Was planning to buy a few ZBMINIR2s to use them in detached mode. Glad I didnât yet.
(Donât want to switch from ZHA to MQTT just yetâŚ) Hopefully this gets fixed soon!
Iâm also interested in the detached mode, but I have an additionell question. Can I use one device to contact two different switches to two different lamps or is it designed to switch one lamp with two switches?
I am not exactly sure what you mean.
In an electrical sense, it is a relais. A single switch in an electrical circuit.
This circuit can still be built to turn on/off multiple lamps.
This is common if you have multiple ceiling lights in a room: You can still wire them to one dumb wall switch and it will switch all of them on or off - the other option would be a (dumb) double wall switch to control them independently. This is up to personal choice.
But essentially, the zbminir2 - at least the relais in it - does the same as a common (single) wall switch.
Of course, your Home Assistant will take notice of every wall switch toggle. So you can create an automation that does anything you like when you toggle the switch, if the zbminir2 is installed. Turn on music, close the blinds, switch a socket to rotate your disco ball, âŚ
The only thing that changes with detached mode is if the relais closes / opens the electrical circuit or not.
fyi, with the new z2m 2.0.0, the action sensor for triggering automations is now depreciated. Cannot figure out how to get it to sense a state change anymore while in detached mode.
Where would be a good place to post the lost of this sensor for developers? fixing it is unfortunately outside of my wheel house.
I want to control with one zbmninir2 to different switches on two different zigbee lamps, so I need the detached mode.
So I have L1 & L2 as in and also as out.So I think I need two.
I got it working in z2m yesterday, version 2.0.0-2. There is a âsettings (specific)â tab where I had to enable the action first. After that, it worked.
HI all,
So Iâve got my first ZBMINIR2, which I connected to my Sonoff Zigbee Dongle replacing my Conbee 2. I see all these options in vanilla ZHA (ha-core 2025.1):
Looks perfect. Now what I want to do this the following: NO detached switch. The switch (rocker type) needs to turn the light on and off. This works.
What I would also like to do is turn on/off the light from HA. Is this possible? I only can turn off the âswitchâ, but the âswitchâ state doesnât reflect the state of the power that is sent to the light. Itâs like the relay itself.
I though this would be like the first thing that comes up when installing these switches: keep the regular switch, and enable smart functionality. Or am I not getting it?
Update** to give an idea that this is not what it should be: letâs say I turn off the switch in HA. Then I can still turn on the light by flipping the physical switch. After that the âswitchâ in HA is still disabled?
Cheers
Vincent
I fixed it, as the solution was reported here https://www.reddit.com/r/sonoff/comments/1gdxhpb/zbminir2_doesnt_update_its_state_if_activated_by/ worked for me as well.
So the problem? Physical rocker switch does not toggle âSwitchâ of ZBMINIR2 in HA, using ZHA.
Fix: click âReconfigureâ when you are looking at the ZBMINIR2 device in ZHA, 5 seconds later, it works!

Hello, no news of the initiial bug of detached relay not working with ZHA?
I feel like everyone doesnât care.

There is a bug report mentioned in this thread where you can follow the progress:
As you see, it is an open issue and flagged as medium priority with some information about the possible root cause and depth of the problem.
In the end, this is still an open source project and I assume most (and probably all) of it is still done voluntarily in peoples free time.
There are currently 326 open issues regarding zigbee handlers and this is only one of them.
Sometimes it is just not as easy as it seems and sometimes things take a while.
