Fusion, Sonoff modular switches

Following the creation of the Shelly wall switch, compatible with their micromodules, Sonoff is following suit in this market and creating the Fusion range, switch boxes compatible with the range’s micromodules, closely resembling the design of Siemens switches widely available on the market.

But Sonoff doesn’t stop there and offers DIY solutions through 3D printing.

Below is a screenshot of the Shelly switches, pioneers in this field, especially with the Zigbee protocol. The Shelly modules are well-designed; however, the all-plastic construction looks a bit cheap.

Let’s start with the Fusion E1GS/SL range

Let’s not waste time on the introduction, as the range expands rapidly.

The Fusion E1GS range is designed to integrate the ZBMINIR2, MINIR4, and MINIR4M models, which are three mini-switches, each operating under a different protocol: Zigbee, Wi-Fi, and Matter. Sonoff thus covers all protocols for integrating switches.

The SONOFF WIFI MINIR4 micro-switch module offers the possibility to control lighting or electrical devices in your home from anywhere in the world, from your Smartphone.

Wall Plates for 2 or 3 Switches

Don’t worry, you can easily buy the switches without the modules, so you can customize them with the 2 or 3 module cover plate. Let’s move on to the plates/frames for the Fusion switches in the range. Like other brands, these plates allow you to aesthetically integrate two or three switches.

A very interesting feature is that Sonoff offers 3D printable models to make these plates compatible with other products of the brand, And frankly, that’s both super cool and impressive of the Sonoff brand. Okay, you need to have a printer, it’s better, but some sites allow you to print online, like PCBway, JLPcb, or…d’autres encore.

In addition to offering micromodules compatible with Fusion switches, making everything work together, Sonoff offers additional 3D-printable accessories to make other Sonoff products compatible with the switches. See for yourself for more details 😋.

And now, let’s look at the technical documents.

Conclusion

Sonoff m’impressionnera toujours mais là, la barre est mise à l’innovation, ils ne cessent de créer de nouveaux produit toujours plus poussés de très bonne facture et bien pensé.

Franchement selon moi c’est la marque de l’année. La gamme Fusion est super sympa, de proposer des impressions 3d pour pousser encore plus loin la créativité me plait énormément Cependant une plaque de fixation en acier aurait fait une grande différence.
