Which zigbee bridge to buy to control roller shutters via a Sonoff switch ?

WSRH 1137 21
Best answers

Which Sonoff Zigbee bridge should I buy so a Zigbee button can control my roller shutters and work with my Sonoff Wi‑Fi devices?

Buy a Zigbee gateway/bridge, preferably the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro, because the SNZB-01P is Zigbee-only and the Sonoff RF Bridge R2 is for 433 MHz RF, not Zigbee [#21727429] [#21729886] The Bridge Pro acts as the intermediary between Zigbee devices and your Wi‑Fi network, and the Sonoff ecosystem can use Zigbee and Wi‑Fi devices together in the same eWeLink app [#21727505] [#21728663] The button itself is fine; to make it open/close the shutters you set up scenes/automation in the app [#21728547] [#21728778] Don’t expect the button to improve Zigbee coverage, because only mains-powered Zigbee devices act as mesh repeaters/routers [#21732537] [#21732613] So the Zigbee Bridge Pro is the correct choice; if you want better range later, add powered Zigbee devices rather than relying on the button [#21732119] [#21732537]

    Hello, Gentlemen I have Sonoff appliances at home:

    - Sonoff basic for miscellaneous lighting
    - Sonoff Dual R3 for roller shutters


    I bought a SONOFF SNZB-01P for roller shutters, to be more precise, to set them all to close when I leave and to open them when I return, with a single press.
    I wanted to pair and it says to buy a zigbee bridge....

    So I should buy for example this :

    Connect somewhere near the router and everything will work normally already ?

    Added after 5 [hours] 56 [minutes]:

    what waiting room? what does that mean?

    Yes, if the devices are for Zigbee, they need a Zigbee to Wifi bridge to go out to the network.
    I set up a home assistant and this is my bridge on the Raspberry Pi.

    Unfortunately the SONOFF SNZB-01P only looks to Zigbee.

    The gateway you chose ok, it is the intermediary between the ZB devices and the WiFi network and works as you write.
    That button you bought is on Zigbee and for the roller shutters you have a relay on WiFi. The app is the same (eWeLink), so someone would have to write if the button on Zigbee can be used to trigger the WiFi switch. I only have WiFi devices from Sonoff.

    So, what, return this button and buy another one that will work without any combination? If so, which one?

    Don't give anything away, the button is good. AI wrote that this zigbee gateway connects the operation of the accessories thanks to a common app.

    Of course I believe:
    "The Sonoff ecosystem with the Zigbee Bridge Pro gateway allows the integration of Zigbee and WiFi devices within a single application."

    These are simple technical matters and the 3 AI models are compatible. By the way, devices on zigbee are more functional than those on WiFi, so you will go in a better direction.

    But why change? After all, you can use two protocols. If you want to buy something else in the future, it should be on zigbee. I too have devices on WiFi and on zigbee, just separate apps (different ecosystems). And here you will have one. If you delve into what the differences are, you'll find out.

    After all, the gateway is as cheap as borscht. There's also a sonoff dongle, but I see it's even more expensive.

    Any gateway that supports zigbee and bt. For my part, I recommend the one with the integrated power supply. Less cumbersome.
    Screenshot showing four different Zigbee and Bluetooth gateways from a shopping platform
    And if you want automation without reaching for your phone. Then you buy buttons and make yourself the appropriate scenes.
    Four-button Tuya Zigbee wireless scene switch, one button lit with green light
    Here you have a four-button one. It allows you to program 12 scenes.

    Free market free choice and so this Polish shop will import it from China. These different gates I have already bought each one works. And if it doesn't work you can return it too. I think you get 4 returns a month for free. And you don't send it to China, the returns warehouse is in Poland. You print the labels and drop them into a parcel machine or return them to some Żabki shops. And that's it.

    Any one that supports the zigbee protocol. So this one too.

    this will be good?

    STOP, it won't be good, there is probably a mistake in the description there, it converts 433MhZ RF to WiFi, that is how you have RF sensors to connect over WiFi.
    Look for a Zigbee type gateway.

    As above, this gateway supports radio sensors. If 90PLN is too much, look for used ones on olx.

    Mains-powered zigbee (you don't have those) act as APs extending the zigbee network.

    I was referring not to a bridge, but to devices like a network socket, relay, network switch etc. You have a wireless button, so it won't extend the network, because how would it?
