Sonoff ZBMINIR2: Easy to Install, Easy on Your Wallet!
The Sonoff ZBMINIR2 module is a new ZigBee, behind the switch module from Sonoff and this module does require a neutral wire. I have created a video on how to install it and how to add it to Home Assistant.
First, the device itself, model Sonoff ZBMINIR2 is a very small module in size and can fit behind almost any switch. its only 39.5x33x16.8mm which is definitely tiny. its even a bit smaller than the ZBMINIL2 and that module does not require a natural wire. so in terms of size, i think its the one of the tiniest modules on the market today.
The installation process of the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 really could not be any easier, and everything just makes sense. the actual wiring i used in my deployment is shown in the video. And as always, i have to clarify here, i have taken my own risk, but when dealing with electricity and wiring, i recommend you to use a certified electrician because this stuff is dangerous, you can literally get your self hurt!
The Sonoff ZBMINIR2 does require a neutral wire so you should definitely take that into account. If you have a neutral wire behind your switch, use a neutral required switch because that has several benefits over a no neutral module, for example, by using a neutral required module, the module itself will become a ZigBee router (repeater) which is always a great thing in a ZigBee network.
As for what this device works with, i can obviously be paired to a sonoff Zigbee hub like the Sonoff NSpanel devices and it can easily be3 paired to Home Assistant using ZHA if you have a ZigBee coordinator already configured.
Over all, the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 is a great device, very stable, easy to install and the price point makes it almost a no brainer buy for me. There are things that i like about the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 but there also things i don't, so please watch the video before buying.
