In addition to these advancements, SONOFF Zigbee TRVZB has become the brand’s BEST SELLER since September, building on the increasing European market demand for reels and cost-effective benefits.

PS: In the Sonoff range presentation video I had shown the thermostat integration that only works on one probe, now with the integration of an external thermostat the trvzb calibration will be very precise.

In the next firmware version of the NSPanel Pro a new feature will be introduced: Web Shortcut. This feature will allow you to search for services within the local network and display them on the NSPanel Pro screen, allowing you to consult them at any time.

Compared to Web Page, Web Shortcut offers a more convenient way to access local network pages. When you leave the Web Shortcut screen, the page does not close automatically, allowing you to return to it at any time. This makes Web Shortcut ideal for local network pages such as Home Assistant and iHost CAST.

I will have the chance to test the firmware next week and I will write an article about this new feature, as well as the integration of the ZTRV thermostat with external sensor support.

Conclusion

The months of November and December are synonymous with new products at Sonoff, this is a preview announcement unfortunately not everything is available for sale yet. Be patient!
