3.2 Prerequisites
Before setting up your SNZB-01P, ensure you have a compatible Zigbee hub. The SNZB-01P requires a Zigbee hub to function and connect to your smart home ecosystem. Compatible hubs include:
- SONOFF NSPanel Pro
- SONOFF ZB Bridge Pro
- SONOFF ZBDongle-E
- Other Zigbee 3.0 compliant hubs

3.3 Pairing Instructions
- Ensure your Zigbee hub is powered on and in pairing mode. Refer to your hub's specific instructions for enabling pairing mode.
- On the SNZB-01P, locate the external pairing button.
- Press and hold the pairing button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED indicator on the device flashes, indicating it's in pairing mode.
- Once successfully paired, the LED indicator will stop flashing, and the device will appear in your Zigbee hub's application.
3.4 Installation
The SNZB-01P offers versatile installation options:
- Lay Flat: Simply place the button on any flat surface, such as a table or desk.
- Adhesive Mounting: Use the provided 3M adhesive tape to stick the button to a wall or other smooth surface.
- Magnetic Mounting: The button has a built-in magnet and comes with a metal plate, allowing it to be attached to magnetic surfaces or the metal plate for easy removal and repositioning.

4. Operating Instructions
The SNZB-01P supports three distinct button actions, each customizable within your Zigbee hub's application:
- Single Press: A quick press and release. Commonly used to toggle lights on/off.
- Double Press: Two quick presses in succession. Can be configured to turn on/off a fan or other appliances.
- Long Press: Press and hold the button for a few seconds. Ideal for more significant actions like turning on/off a coffee maker or activating a complex scene.

4.1 Creating Smart Scenes
Utilize your Zigbee hub's application (e.g., eWelink APP) to create smart scenes that are triggered by the SNZB-01P's button actions. For example:
- A single press could activate a "Good Morning" scene, turning on bedroom lights and opening smart blinds.
- A double press could trigger a "Movie Night" scene, dimming lights and turning on the TV.
- A long press could initiate an "Away" scene, turning off all lights and locking smart doors.
4.2 Alexa Routine Integration
If you have a SONOFF Zigbee hub that supports Alexa integration, you can link the SNZB-01P to trigger Alexa routines. This allows for voice-controlled actions to be initiated by a physical button press, offering convenience when voice commands are not ideal (e.g., when someone is sleeping).

4.3 Emergency Functionality
The SNZB-01P can be configured as an emergency button. In an emergency, pressing the button can send an alert notification to your designated phone or contacts, providing an immediate way to signal for help.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Battery Replacement
The SNZB-01P is powered by a CR2477 lithium metal battery. When the battery level is low, you will receive a notification via the eWelink APP (or your Zigbee hub's application). To replace the battery:
- Carefully open the device casing. The improved design makes it easier to access the battery compartment.
- Remove the old CR2477 battery.
- Insert a new CR2477 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the device casing securely.
Note: The 5-year battery life is a theoretical value obtained from SONOFF’s internal laboratory under specific test conditions. Actual usage may vary based on environmental factors, firmware versions, and frequency of use.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not pairing with hub. | Hub not in pairing mode; device too far from hub; low battery; interference. | Ensure hub is in pairing mode. Move device closer to hub. Check battery level. Reduce 2.4GHz signal interference. |
| Device unresponsive after pairing. | Weak Zigbee signal; dead battery; hub connection issue. | Verify battery. Check Zigbee mesh network strength. Restart hub. Re-pair the device if necessary. |
| Actions not triggering consistently. | Signal interference; incorrect scene configuration; rapid button presses. | Ensure clear line of sight to hub/router. Review scene settings in your app. Note that very rapid presses might be interpreted as a double-press or not register if too fast for the system. |
| "Cooldown" period between presses. | This is typically a user-error or a setting within the smart home ecosystem, not an inherent device limitation. | The SNZB-01P does not have inherent cooldowns. Check your hub's automation rules or third-party integrations for any configured delays or limitations. Ensure you are not pressing too rapidly to trigger unintended multi-press commands. |
