Perfect for stylized light switches

Do you prefer stylish light switches? It seems that all smart switches on the market are white or some kind of soft option. SONOFF is here to help. I was able to use these amazing ZigBee mini smart switches to upgrade my existing light switches into a smart home ecosystem. They were easy enough to set up and install. I can still use the light switch to turn the light on and off manually, but now I can also turn the light on and off at sunset/sunrise or any other occasion. I've only been using it for a few days, but no problems so far. I will update if anything changes. Thank you! Here's what I did. Prep: β€’ Make a short 4 inch two wire jumper for each mini smart switch (this is only a 3.3V control line so I used spare speaker wire) β€’ (Optional) I needed at home a short wiring when I used them in multiboxes (a white power wire is needed to power all mini smart switches) Installation: β€’ Connect the light switch to the mini with jumpers and power/load lines according to the wiring instructions smart switch. β€’ After switching on you will see a blinking green light inside β€’ Open the SmartThings app on your phone and search for devices β€’ Once the green light on the mini smart switch lights up, the device is found (you can cancel the scan , as it takes a long time) β€’ In SmartThings, mark the new device according to where it will be used and tested. Extras: β€’ I made a small template to pre-configure all devices because I had to configure many devices.
