SONOFF BASIC-1GSP Matter over WiFi smart switch supports DIN rail mounting, real-time energy monitoring

SONOFF Basic DIN Rail

SONOFF “Basic DIN Rail”, codenamed BASIC-1GSP, is a Matter Over WiFi smart switch designed to be installed in electrical distribution boxes with a DIN rail, and it also supports real-time energy monitoring to track voltage, current, power, and energy consumption. The BASIC-1GSP can handle high-power circuits up to 32A (7,680W @ 240V AC), which makes it suitable for electric floor heating, EV charging stations, water heaters, and other heavy-duty devices. The device also focuses on safety with customizable overload protection & a double-pole safety switch. SONOFF BASIC-1GSP specifications: SoC – Beken BK7238 wireless microcontroller as found in SONOFF Basic Gen5 and Tx Gen2 Core – 32-bit Arm Cortex-M MCU at up to 160 MHz Memory – 288 KB RAM Storage – 2 MB flash (SiP) Wireless – 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n WiFi 4, Bluetooth LE 5.2, Matter Screw terminals for AC input and load Wire gauge range – 11 AWG to […]

SONOFF Hydro DUO – A dual-channel Zigbee 3.0 smart water valve with flow meter

SONOFF Hydro DUO

SONOFF Hydro DUO is a dual-channel Zigbee 3.0 and Bluetooth 5 LE smart water valve with up to 12 customized watering schedules, a flow meter, and alerts for frost risk, leakage, low battery, and water shortages. Paisit previously reviewed the SONOFF SWV smart water valve, but the company has now launched the Hydro series with various improvements, including a brass inlet instead of a plastic one, weather-based skipping, real-time alerts, flow metering, and dual Zigbee + BLE so it can work even without a Zigbee gateway. The single-channel Hydro models were introduced earlier this year, and now the Hydro DUO offers a variant with two outlets to manage two watering zones. SONOFF Hydro DUO (SWV-ZF2U/SWV-ZF2E) specifications: MCU –   Telink TLSR8258 (TLSR8258F1KAT32) multiprotocol microcontroller @ 48 MHz with BLE 5 and Zigbee 3.0, RF4CE, Thread, 6LoWPAN, HomeKit, ANT, and 2.4GHz proprietary connectivity Inlets SWV-ZF2U model – NH (National Hose) pipe thread […]

eWeLink CUBE OS enables all SONOFF WiFi and Zigbee devices to connect to Matter

SONOFF WiFi Zigbee Matter Compatibility

All SONOFF WiFi and Zigbee home automation devices can now work with the Matter protocol. This can be done in two ways: Software path (free of charge)  – Use eWelink CUBE OS on a Raspberry Pi or other host computer to bridge SONOFF WiFi & Zigbee devices to Matter. Hardware path — Install a certified Matter gateway such as SONOFF iHost, ZBBridge-U, or NSPanel Pro, and pair your WiFi/Zigbee devices to use them with Matter. The main benefit is that you no longer need to use the eWelink app, and any SONOFF devices can now work with Matter-compatible platforms, such as Apple Home, Google Home, SmartThings, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant. I’ll focus on the software solution in this post. Most users will likely install eWelink CUBE OS on a Raspberry Pi 4/5 connected to a supported USB Zigbee dongle if they have Zigbee devices. SONOFF lists their own ZBDongle-MAX, […]

SONOFF MINI-D Review – A Matter-enabled dry contact WiFi switch tested with eWeLink, Home Assistant, and Apple Home

SONOFF MINI-D Review

SONOFF sent us a sample of the MINI-D Wi-Fi smart switch with a dry contact design for review. If you’re familiar with the larger SONOFF 4CH Pro model, which features four channels, the MINI-D operates similarly but is smaller in size and comes with the latest software features. The principle of a dry contact is that the relay contacts are not directly connected to the device’s power supply circuit. Instead, the contacts are isolated and require an external power source to supply power to the load. Make it flexible to use the SONOFF Mini-D in various scenarios such as controlling garage doors, thermostats, or high-current electrical devices through a contactor, like water pumps. It can also manage low-power DC devices such as solenoid valves or small electric motors (<8W). Because the power supplied to the MINI-D and the power passed through its relay can come from different sources, it offers […]
