2.2 TouchLink Functionality

The SNZB-01M supports TouchLink, simplifying the direct pairing and control of compatible smart bulbs without needing a central hub or gateway for basic functions. This allows for faster, more reliable responses.

To use TouchLink:

  1. Ensure the smart bulb is powered on and in pairing mode (refer to the bulb's manual).
  2. Hold the Orb 4-in-1 button close to the smart bulb (within 10 cm).
  3. Press and hold one of the button quadrants on the Orb until the bulb responds (e.g., flashes or changes brightness), indicating successful pairing.

Note: TouchLink support varies by brand and model of the smart bulb. Refer to the specifications of your bulb for accurate information.

3. Nlekọta

3.1 nnọchi batrị

The SONOFF Orb 4-in-1 button is powered by a CR2477 Lithium Metal battery. When the battery level is low, the device's indicator may signal this, or you may notice reduced responsiveness. To replace the battery:

  1. Gently twist or pry open the back cover of the button to access the battery compartment.
  2. Wepu batrị CR2477 ochie.
  3. Insert a new CR2477 Lithium Metal battery, ensuring correct polarity.
  4. Mechie mkpuchi azụ nke ọma.

3.2 Nhicha

To clean the device, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface or internal components. Ensure the device is dry before use.

4. Nchọpụta nsogbu

4.1 Ngwaọrụ anaghị aza

  • Lelee batrị: Ensure the battery is not depleted. Replace the CR2477 battery if necessary.
  • Lelee njikọ: Verify that the device is properly paired with your Zigbee or eWeLink-Remote gateway. If not, attempt to re-pair the device.
  • Oke: Ensure the device is within the effective range of your gateway or a strong Zigbee mesh network.
  • Ntinye aka: Minimize potential interference from other wireless devices.

4.2 Issues with Home Assistant (ZHA)

If you are using the SONOFF Orb 4-in-1 with Home Assistant via ZHA and experience issues with all 16 trigger combinations being recognized, it may require a specific ZHA script or "quirks file".

  • ZHA Script Requirement: As of early 2026, using the Orb 4-in-1 with ZHA may require downloading and installing a specific ZHA script. Refer to the official SONOFF Help Center or community forums for detailed instructions and the necessary files.
  • Event Recognition: Without the correct script, some button actions (e.g., button 2, 3, 4 actions beyond single press) might only register as generic "step" or "stop" events instead of distinct triggers.

4.3 eWeLink Mode Pairing Difficulties

Some users may encounter difficulties pairing the device in eWeLink mode. If the device briefly appears in the eWeLink app during pairing but then disappears, ensure:

  • The device is correctly switched to eWeLink mode.
  • The eWeLink gateway is in pairing mode and functioning correctly.
  • You are pressing the correct pairing button (button 3, often marked with three dots) on the Orb.

If issues persist in eWeLink mode, consider trying Zigbee mode if your setup allows, as it has been reported to be more straightforward for some users.
