Sonoff Orb 4-in-1 Zigbee Smart Scene Button

by Sonoff

A neat, battery powered, Zigbee scene selector that can be wall mounted or detached and used as a smart button.

Want a way to easily control your smart bulbs and other devices without having to mess with mains wiring? This Zigbee scene selector can be stuck to a wall or magnetic surface, or screwed onto a 86 type or EU switch box (but it's battery powered, so doesn't need to be wired in!).

You'll need a Zigbee gateway present on your home network to co-ordinate with this device. This could be an iHost or Zigbee Bridge if you want to use Sonoff's eWeLink app. Alternatively you could connect it up to a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant (or a Home Assistant Green), equipped with a Zigbee dongle.

Features

  • Up to sixteen actions: Each button can do single, double, triple, and long-press actions, so you can use it to trigger up to 16 smart scenes or automations.
  • Flexible installation: Mount it with magnets, adhesive, or screws—perfect for walls, desks, or even your refrigerator.
  • Wall mounted or portable: Detach the smart button from the magnetic base and use it as a handheld remote control.
  • Battery powered: With up to 4 years battery life (in Zigbee mode)   
  • Works with eWeLink/Home Assistant*/SmartThings - Integrates with compatible Zigbee platforms

What Is Zigbee?

Zigbee is a wireless standard enabling low-power, secure connections between smart devices. Widely used in home automation for devices like thermostats, sensors, and locks, its energy efficiency allows some devices to run for years on a single coin cell battery.

The key advantage of Zigbee is its local operation – no cloud subscriptions or internet connections are required. Everything stays within your home, ensuring high security and resilience against internet outages.

Leading brands such as IKEA, Philips Hue, Tuya, and Sonoff offer Zigbee-supported devices. This means you can combine products from different manufacturers into one system, ensuring you’re not locked into a single vendor – brilliant!

With an indoor range of 10–100 metres and extended outdoor coverage, Zigbee’s mesh networking ensures reliable communication, even if some devices go offline. Its robust security features, including encryption and key protection, safeguard your smart home and keep it under your control.
