Key differences between Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch and Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch

A summary of selected recorded differences between these relays. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices

2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (connectivity): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (IEEE 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz); Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — No.
Zigbee Router (features): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — No; Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — Yes (SONOFF lists its Zigbee role as Router: 180 m to the gateway by default and 250 m with Turbo mode enabled).
Overheating Protection (safety features): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — No; Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — Yes (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).

Specifications to check side by side

Bluetooth (connectivity): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — For Pairing (Bluetooth LE 5.2, the transport Matter uses to commission a Wi-Fi device and for the app's near-field local control); Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — Yes (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 (connectivity): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — No; Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — Zigbee Hub required (Zigbee 3.0 over IEEE 802.15.4, EFR32MG21).
Apple Home (integrations): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (Via Matter); Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — SONOFF Hub required (The product page states it works with Apple Home via a SONOFF Matter bridge (ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle). Apple Home has no Zigbee radio of its own.).
Matter (integrations): Sonoff Basic Gen5 Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (Matter over Wi-Fi, the protocol the product is named for); Sonoff MINI ONE Zigbee Smart Switch — SONOFF Hub required (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).).
