A handy, magnetic, pocket-sized (fixed or portable) Zigbee button!
The Sonoff Zigbee Wireless Switch is the perfect way to manually trigger smart home events, whether from a specific location or on the move.
With a pre-installed battery lasting over five years, maintenance is minimal. Installation couldn’t be simpler—the back of the switch is magnetic so it will stick to many metal surfaces found around the home or you could use the included 3M adhesive tape and metal mounting plate to place the switch wherever you need it.
Set the Scene
With your home automation setup, you can create rules for what happens when the button is pressed, double-pressed, or long-pressed. This flexibility allows for a wide variety of automated actions, tailored to your needs.
To use Zigbee devices, you’ll need either a Zigbee-compatible USB dongle connected to an always-on computer (a Raspberry Pi is ideal!) or a dedicated smart home solution such as the excellent Home Assistant Green (with Zigbee dongle) or the Sonoff iHost.
Whether you’re setting the mood with dim lighting and some Barry White or remotely starting your coffee maker, the Sonoff ZigBee Wireless Switch is here to help.
Compact, reliable, and endlessly versatile – the ultimate smart button is here! 🖲️✨

What Is Zigbee?
Zigbee is a wireless standard enabling low-power, secure connections between smart devices. Widely used in home automation for devices like thermostats, sensors, and locks, its energy efficiency allows some devices to run for years on a single coin cell battery.
The key advantage of Zigbee is its local operation – no cloud subscriptions or internet connections are required. Everything stays within your home, ensuring high security and resilience against internet outages.
Leading brands such as IKEA, Philips Hue, Tuya, and Sonoff offer Zigbee-supported devices. This means you can combine products from different manufacturers into one system, ensuring you’re not locked into a single vendor – brilliant!
With an indoor range of 10–100 metres and extended outdoor coverage, Zigbee’s mesh networking ensures reliable communication, even if some devices go offline. Its robust security features, including encryption and key protection, safeguard your smart home and keep it under your control.
