I bought this switch and couldn't connect it for a long time. The instructions in the box and on the website are written disgustingly poorly. I've been using Sonoff products for about 3 years now, but I've never heard of a certain gateway. At first I thought it was zegbee, but it turned out it wasn’t. In the end, I found the information here, but even in the video it’s difficult to understand where and to which gateway the switch is connected. In the seller's product description it was written that the switch is connected using wifi. There was not a word about gateway. You can only manage products that have a gateway. Wi-Fi lamps, external sockets cannot be connected to it. in the end I had to use this switch to collect dust in the box where it is, I dont use it att all. It's a very poor description of the product, how it connects and what products it can control.

Hi, I need to control 4 different blind motors in a room, could I use this R5 along with a mini r3 as gateway to set scenes that allows me to control each 2 chanels of the 4 dual r3 controller? or is there any simplier way to do it?

Does this need a gateway ? I use amazon echo as my bridge.

Is this compatible with Sonoff ZBBRIDGE?

It was very sad not to find it in Turkey.

It's a great looking device and would work perfectly, but instead of doing it compatible to a gateway it's under another device, which makes it unstable for example for HA, it's not compatible with at least Alexa, so you're restricted to sonoff devices only due to this: I needed to go to the other T manufacturer which is something disappointing, because sonoff devices are usually more reliable.
