Sonoff R5 is a wireless switch, operated by CR2032 batteries.It has 6 physical switch buttons, can be installed on the wall but can also be removed from the wall holder. Unlike other Sonoff wireless switches, it does NOT use 433MHz RF technology but a new Bluetooth Low Energy based remote control method, called eWeLink-Remote.

This is the white front panel version.

It can be paired with devices equipped with eWeLink-Remote (BT) receiver and hub feature, such as Sonoff Mini R3 relay, Sonoff M5 switch or new Sonoff WiFi+Bluetooth smart bulbs. According to factory specification, it has a much longer remote distance than RF technology, it can remotely switch receivers up to 90 meters distance.

Please note that it is not compatible with 433 MHz RF devices, such asSonoff RF relay, Sonoff TX T1, T2, T3 wall switches or SmartWise T4 switches!

You may pair its6 switch buttons to 6 different relays or switches (with eWeLink-Remote receiver), so you may use it to remotely control 6 different smart devices in a room. But you may also control any other eWeLink (Sonoff, SmartWise, other branded) devices with it via the eWeLink Cloud. All you need to do is to set up a Scene for each button, and instead of switching a paired device, you may switch other WiFi devices via the eWeLink cloud.

So when you have too many smart devices, and they are distributed in different rooms but don’t want to control them through your phone, you just need an R5 scene remote controller. R5 switch can be added to the eWeLink-Remote gateway (built-in into Sonoff Mini R3, M5, etc.)to control all devices in the eWeLink APP using three trigger ways in the scene.SONOFF R5 is the module that can transmit the “eWeLink-Remote” signal, we also named it “eWeLink-Remote sub-devices”.
