BLE powers Proximity Mode, which lets the phone connect to the switch directly for basic control and settings when no Zigbee gateway is available
Zigbee 3.0 over IEEE 802.15.4, TLSR8656 chip, per the specification table and Zigbee2MQTT
Zigbee 3.0 over IEEE 802.15.4, EFR32MG21
Smart timer schedules, loop timers, inching and smart scenes in eWeLink
Smart timer, smart scene, group control and Zigbee Binding for direct device-to-device local control without the gateway
The switch mounts on a standard DIN rail.
Sonoff Basic DIN Rail Zigbee Smart Switch manufacturer product page →Maximum current does not establish suitability for every appliance or inrush load; follow the installation guide.
Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Standard 35mm DIN rail mounting inside an electrical distribution box
Designed for EU flush-mounted, 86-type and 120-type wall boxes, 60 mm depth recommended
The double-pole output switches the live and neutral conductors, so the contact is not potential-free
It measures voltage, current, power and energy.

Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Real-time monitoring of voltage, current, power and energy consumption, with 180 days of stored history and export
Power metering is the separate MINI ONE PM model; this one reports no energy data and Zigbee2MQTT exposes none
A physical button controls on/off and enters pairing mode on a long press
Zigbee2MQTT lists this device as supporting OTA updates
Over-the-air updates through eWeLink, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
Power-On State is a documented setting: ON, Off or Last state after an outage
Power-on state is configurable as On, Off or Keep, plus a delayed power-on timer to stagger loads after an outage
The output terminals carry the switched live and neutral wires to the load
The two parallel L Out terminals switch mains live to the load
No external switch terminal: the single circuit is switched from the app, Zigbee or an automation
Detach relay mode turns the wired wall switch into a smart trigger so connected smart bulbs never lose power
It also acts as a Zigbee router.

The product page states it also functions as a Zigbee router to extend network coverage
SONOFF lists its Zigbee role as Router: 180 m to the gateway by default and 250 m with Turbo mode enabled
The SONOFF knowledge center lists Alexa voice control (open/close) through eWeLink account linking
SONOFF's own feature table lists on/off, smart scene and smart timer through Alexa, using an Echo with a built-in Zigbee hub or the eWeLink skill
The product page states it works with Apple Home via a SONOFF Matter bridge (ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE). Apple Home has no Zigbee radio of its own.

The SONOFF knowledge center lists Google Home voice control (open/close) after the device is added to the eWeLink app and the account is linked
SONOFF lists Google Home for this model via its Matter bridges or via eWeLink cloud-to-cloud once the switch is added through a SONOFF Zigbee gateway
Zigbee2MQTT supports this exact model and exposes state, power-on behaviour, inching, voltage, current, power and energy totals, plus the overload thresholds
Zigbee2MQTT supports this exact model from version 2.12.1 and exposes state, power-on behaviour, detach relay mode, turbo mode and overheat reporting. ZHA support is still pending a merge, so ZHA users need SONOFF's setup script for the full feature set.
The switch itself is Zigbee, not Matter: SONOFF republishes it into Matter through its own bridges (ZBBridge-U, iHost, eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle).

Rated 16A 100-240V~ 50/60Hz
Rated 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 32A Max, single-phase only per the specification table
Mains AC only: the specification table limits it to single-phase 100-240V use
It wires L and N in and out (double-pole switching), so a neutral conductor is required
SONOFF states a neutral wire is required, and the wiring diagram uses N, L, two parallel L Out terminals and the S1 external switch input
The specification table rates the relay 32A Max with a maximum load of 7680W
The manufacturer states a maximum current of 32 A.

60% higher than the ZBMINIR2, which is rated 10A
Overload protection cuts output when a customizable current threshold (up to 32A) is exceeded
Built-in high-precision temperature sensing cuts the relay output when the temperature approaches the safety threshold, and Zigbee2MQTT exposes the resulting device_overheated attribute
