Trying Out the Latest Sonoff M5 Smart Switch!

Published at : 18 Dec 2025

I personally lived the wifi M5 and with the release of the Zigbee model, we have a choice of communication method without sacrificing features and functionality. Furthermore, with the ZBM5 neutral wire is option. Either use it, or don't use it.
