⚡ Key Features
- No Neutral & With Neutral Compatible — installs in older homes without a neutral wire, or take full advantage of neutral wiring for router mode and smart light support
- Zigbee 3.0 Mesh Networking — with neutral wiring the ZBM5 acts as a Zigbee router, extending your mesh network coverage with every switch installed
- Detach Relay Mode — keeps smart lights powered even when the physical switch is toggled off, so they stay controllable via app and scenes (neutral mode only)
- Physical Mechanical Buttons — satisfying tactile click with reliable rocker-style buttons, no accidental touch triggers
- Home Assistant Compatible — works with ZBDongle-E or Dongle Max via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT for full local control
- eWeLink Smart Scenes — scheduling, countdown timers, one-tap scenes, and inter-device automation
- Voice Control — Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings (via supported Zigbee hub)
- 120-Type (US/SA) — fits standard South African 4×2 wall boxes
🔌 Two Wiring Modes — One Switch
No Neutral Mode
The ZBM5 auto-detects your wiring when paired. In no neutral mode, it operates as a Zigbee end device. The connected load must be at least 3W. Does not support smart lights (dimmable, colour-changing, LED strips) or detach relay in this mode.
Neutral Mode — Unlock Full Features
With a neutral wire connected, the ZBM5 becomes a Zigbee router — strengthening your mesh network. Unlocks detach relay mode for smart lights and removes the 3W minimum load requirement. If you're doing a new installation, always wire the neutral for best results.
📦 Feature Highlights
Zigbee Router Mode
With neutral wire, every ZBM5 strengthens your Zigbee mesh — improving coverage and reliability across your whole home.
Detach Relay
Smart lights stay powered when the switch is toggled off. Control via app, voice, or scenes — the switch becomes a smart trigger. Neutral mode only.
Home Assistant Ready
Pair with a ZBDongle-E or Dongle Max for full local Zigbee control via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT integration.
Schedules & Timers
Set daily schedules, countdown timers, and loop timers in the eWeLink app. Runs locally through your Zigbee hub.
