Sonoff Micro Zigbee USB (5V DC) Smart Relay Module

The SONOFF Micro Zigbee USB Smart Adapter, also called ZBMicro Smart Relay Switch, is a versatile device that turns your USB devices into smart devices, enabling remote control and automation. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Zigbee 3.0 concentrators, providing reliable connectivity and enhancing your smart home.

What is Zigbee?

Many smart home devices use Wi-Fi and RF communication methods that make them cheaper than other smart technologies, but are not IoT-specific standards. In contrast, Zigbee is designed as an ideal communication solution for low-power devices where high data rates are not required, but where minimising latency is important.
Zigbee is also a good choice for devices with directly connected power or light sources, and for battery-powered sensors or remote controls, as Zigbee offers several times longer autonomy than WiFi. Zigbee devices do not work on their own, they need a Zigbee gateway to connect to a home or office network.

Of course, the Zigbee protocol also includes mesh network topologywhich allows easy range extension by connecting 230V Zigbee devices, typically Zigbee switches and Zigbee relays. This means that if a Zigbee sensor is installed in a remote corner of the home where it is already out of range of the Zigbee Bridge, the signal will be provided via an intermediate device such as a Sonoff ZBMini or similar.
