Sonoff Smart Wall Switch (M5 Matter)

by Sonoff

These state-of-the-art smart wall switches are Matter-compatible so will work with many smart home ecosystems.

Upgrading your wall switches to smart switches means you can still engage muscle memory and poke at the physical buttons like you're used to. However, they also make it possible to control your lights using an app, hook them up to your voice assistant and even set up automations to turn them on and off automatically.

Thanks to Matter support, you can use them with Home Assistant or with Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri—making your lighting easier, smarter, and more connected than ever.

This product is designed to be wired into a 86 type or EU switch box with neutral wiring. It comes in 1 to 3 gang configurations, and in a choice of dark grey and white colour options.

Note: This product requires mains wiring. Please ensure you have the skills and knowledge to install it safely or consult a qualified electrician!

What is Matter?

Matter is a new smart home standard that makes it easier for devices from different brands to work together. It’s supported by big names like Google, Apple, and Amazon, all collaborating under the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).

Matter devices are designed to work locally, so they don’t need the internet or a cloud service to function. That means faster performance and fewer privacy concerns. You can use them with platforms like Home Assistant, Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa.

Instead of using its own special radio tech like Zigbee or Z-Wave, Matter runs over standard networks like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Thread, using IPv6 to connect everything.
