5.1. Pamasangan Wiring

1. **Power off:** Before any installation, ensure the main power supply is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. **Disassemble the switch:** Pry off the switch module and power module from the mounting plate.
3. **Wire according to the diagram:** Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the power module. Refer to the wiring diagrams below.
4. **Mount the power module:** Place the power module into the mounting box and tighten the screws.
5. **Install the switch module:** Snap the switch module onto the mounted power module.
6. **Power on:** Restore power at the circuit breaker.

Parentah Wiring sareng Diagram:

The ZBM5 is designed to adapt to your home's wiring configuration, supporting both "No Neutral Wire" (commonly found in homes built before the 1980s) and "With Neutral Wire" (common in newer or renovated homes).

Wiring Mode Considerations:

• Choose either "No Neutral Required" or "Neutral Required" mode according to your home's wiring.
• In "No Neutral Required" mode: The minimum supported load is 3W. This mode does not support inductive loads such as fans or smart lights.
• In "Neutral Required" mode: There is no minimum power requirement, and smart lights are supported, including the "Detach Relay" function.
• Make sure all wires are connected correctly and securely.

*When powered on for the first time, the wiring will be automatically identified and switched to the corresponding mode. For subsequent changes to the wiring switching mode, refer to the user manual.

5.2. Power On and Initial Pairing Mode

After powering on, the device will enter the pairing mode by default during the first use, and the LED signal indicator will "flash slowly". It takes approximately 10 seconds for the device to work normally after being powered on for the first time.

The device will exit pairing mode if not operated within 3 minutes. To re-enter pairing mode, long press any button on the device for 5 seconds until the signal light "flashes slowly" and release.

6. Parentah Operasi

6.1. Download eWeLink App & Add SONOFF Zigbee Gateway

Download the "eWeLink" App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store. The ZBM5 switch requires a compatible SONOFF Zigbee hub (e.g., ZBBridge-P, ZBBridge-U, NSPanel Pro, iHost, ZBDongle-P, ZBDongle-E) to function. Ensure your gateway firmware is updated to the latest version before adding the device.

6.2. Pairing to eWeLink App

1. Buka aplikasi eWeLink.
2. Ketok ikon "+" pikeun nambahkeun alat.
3. Select "Scan" and align the QR code on the device or its manual within the frame to scan.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the device to your Wi-Fi network via the Zigbee hub.
5. Once connected, the device will be added successfully.

6.3. Pairing to Matter (Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings)

The SONOFF ZBM5 Matter switch can be seamlessly integrated into Matter-enabled ecosystems. For Apple Home, follow these steps:

1. Ensure your Matter-compatible hub (e.g., Apple HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K) is set up.
2. Buka Apple Home App.
3. Tap the "+" icon and select "Add Accessory".
4. Scan the Matter QR code provided with your device or on the device itself.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the switch to your home and assign it to a room.

Similar steps apply for Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings. The Matter certification allows for direct local control and improved responsiveness.

6.4. Kontrol sora

Once paired with a compatible smart home ecosystem (Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home), you can control the switch using voice commands. For example, "Hey Siri, turn on wall switch."

6.5. Pamandangan Pinter sareng Otomatisasi

Leverage the eWeLink app or your Matter-enabled hub to create smart scenes and automations:

• **Scheduled Lighting:** Set timers to automatically turn lights on or off at specific times (e.g., turn off bedroom lights at 23:00 for peaceful sleep).
• **Two-Way Control:** Use a Zigbee wireless button to control the ZBM5 switch, enabling two-way control for lights without complex wiring.
• **Presence Detection:** Integrate with Zigbee sensors (e.g., human presence sensor) to automatically turn lights on/off based on movement.
• **Detach Relay:** In neutral required mode, enable "Detach Relay" to ensure smart bulbs remain powered and connected even when the wall switch is physically off. This prevents smart lights from going offline.

7. Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs

7.1. Why does the light bulb light up slightly or flicker after turning off the light?

This issue typically occurs in "no neutral required" wiring mode and can be caused by two factors:

• **Incorrect Wiring Mode:** The device might be in neutral required mode, but the actual wiring is no neutral. This can happen if the wiring was changed without resetting the device.
• **Insufficient Bulb Power or Incompatibility:** In no neutral required mode, the minimum load is 3W. If the connected bulb is less than 3W, or if it's an incompatible smart bulb (e.g., dimmable, color-changing, or from lesser-known brands), flickering may occur.

**Solusi:**

• Reset the device to factory settings (long press any button for 5 seconds, then disconnect and reconnect power). Re-add the device to the gateway, and it will detect the correct wiring mode.
• Replace the bulb with a brand-name bulb with a power rating of ≥3W.

7.2. For multi-channel products, when one channel is on, why does another channel's bulb light up slightly or flicker when off?

This problem is also due to incompatible or poor compatibility of the bulbs used. It can be caused by either the active channel's bulb or the inactive channel's bulb, with the latter being more common.

7.3. What types of bulbs are supported?

**Incandescent Bulbs:**

• 2400W@240V MAX (per channel or total), 1000W@100V MAX (per channel or total).
• Minimum of 3W (for no neutral required mode only).

**LED/CFL/Fluorescent Bulbs:**

• 400W@240V MAX (per channel or total), 200W@100V MAX (per channel or total).
• Minimum of 3W (for no neutral required mode only).
• Pikeun tabung fluoresensi heubeul kalawan starters, ngaganti starter ku hiji éléktronik pikeun nyegah karuksakan switch poténsial.

8. Tips pamaké

• For optimal performance and compatibility, especially in "no neutral required" mode, use high-quality, non-smart LED bulbs from reputable brands with a power rating of 3W or higher.
• If you experience any connectivity issues, try moving your Zigbee gateway closer to the switch or ensure there are no major obstructions.
• Regularly check for firmware updates for your SONOFF Zigbee gateway and the ZBM5 switch through the eWeLink app to ensure the best performance and access to new features.
• When using voice control, ensure your smart speaker (e.g., Alexa, Google Home, HomePod) is properly linked to your eWeLink or Matter account.
