Sonoff R5 gateway/controller White Plastic Wall mounting 86x13.5mm

SwitchMan Scene Controller R5 is a 6-key free-wiring scene remote that pairs with the eWeLink-Remote gateway to trigger scenes and control devices in the eWeLink app. It supports three trigger actions—single click, double click and long press—so one controller can operate multiple devices or full-room scenes. R5 communicates locally with devices via the eWeLink-Remote gateway up to approximately 90 meters and can also trigger cloud-based SONOFF scenes when an Internet connection is available.

Advantages

R5 provides flexible control without complex wiring and works as a central controller for multiple smart devices and rooms after scenes are set in the eWeLink app. It supports local control through the eWeLink-Remote gateway for responsive operation within a 90 m range and offers three trigger modes to assign multiple functions per button. The controller also integrates with SONOFF switches to allow two-way or multi-way light control even if a connected switch is offline.

Key specifications

• Model: SwitchMan Scene Controller R5
• Buttons: 6 keys (free-wiring)
• Trigger types: single click, double click, long press
• Local control range: up to 90 m via eWeLink-Remote gateway
• Compatibility: works with eWeLink-Remote gateway and SONOFF devices via eWeLink app

How to use

Install R5 in a suitable location and add it to the eWeLink-Remote gateway using the eWeLink app. Configure scenes in the app and assign actions to each button using the single click, double click or long press triggers. For local control, ensure the target smart devices are linked to the same eWeLink-Remote gateway; for cloud scenes, ensure the gateway and devices have Internet access. R5 learns device control once and can then operate assigned home appliances within the gateway range.

Recommendations

Place the eWeLink-Remote gateway centrally to maximize the R5 local control range and test each button’s assigned trigger (single, double, long press) after scene setup. For reliable two-way light control, pair R5 with SONOFF M5 Switchman Smart Wall Switch according to the manufacturer instructions.
