Sonoff Zigbee USB Smart Adaptor

The SONOFF ZBMicro is a Zigbee USB smart adaptor designed for installers who need a simple way to add smart on/off control to USB-powered devices. It sits between a USB power source and the connected USB device, allowing customers to remotely control power, set schedules and include USB devices in smart automation scenes through a compatible Zigbee gateway or smart home platform. SONOFF lists the ZBMicro as a Zigbee USB adaptor with relay function, remote control, timer scheduling and automation support. 

For trade customers, the ZBMicro is useful for smart home, display, cabinet, low-voltage lighting and small-device automation projects. It can be used to control suitable USB-powered accessories such as LED lighting, USB fans, small cameras, decorative lighting, sensor hubs, media accessories, desk equipment or display hardware where scheduled or remote power control is useful.

The ZBMicro supports USB power control while also allowing Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer, making it more flexible than a basic USB power switch. SONOFF states that, when paired with a suitable fast-charging adaptor and cable, it can support fast charging for mobile devices. The official product information also lists a 5–22V DC input range, 4.6A maximum rating and up to 36W device control. 

Because it uses Zigbee rather than Wi-Fi, the ZBMicro can be a good fit for installers standardising around Zigbee-based smart home systems. It can integrate with compatible platforms such as Home Assistant and openHAB through ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, depending on the gateway and setup being used. SONOFF also highlights Turbo Mode for extending Zigbee signal range, which can make the adaptor useful as part of a wider Zigbee installation where USB power control and improved network coverage are both useful. 

For installers, the ZBMicro is a neat add-on product for solving small but common automation problems. It gives customers control over USB-powered devices without replacing the device itself, making it suitable for retrofit work, desks, entertainment units, cabinets, smart displays, network cupboards and other low-voltage smart home areas.
