SONOFF SwitchMan M5 Zigbee smart wall switch, 3-gang, standalone version, white (ZBM5-3C-86W)

The Sonoff M5 SwitchMan ZBM5-3C-86W is a smart light switch supporting the Zigbee 3.0 protocol with 3 gang (circuit), making it an ideal solution for smart control of home lighting and other electrical devices.

This 86 mm wide standalone version does not require any additional frames, it can be installed on its own.

The ZB-M5-3C-86W switch also has an 80 mm modular version, available under the model name ZBM5-3C-80W.

The switch supports both live + neutral wiring and live-only (no-neutral) wiring, making it flexible for various electrical networks. The M5 SwitchMan has a physical push button, allowing manual wall control just like a traditional switch. Its maximum load capacity is 10A, which is sufficient for controlling most household lighting fixtures and smaller electrical devices.

It is compatible with Sonoff Zigbee gateways and, in this case, the eWeLink app, but it also supports Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA integration, making it easy to incorporate into Home Assistant systems. This high-quality smart switch from Sonoff is compatible with many other Zigbee 3.0 hubs, including SmartThings.
