Please help me understand the SONOFF Mini

It looks like the answer is the sonoff s-mate... but it needs to be paired with al least one Sonfoff Mini R3.
Or the s-mate 2 with Mini R4.

It is basically a RF transmitter and receiver, that can be used to switch scenes

If I understand what you want to do correctly, it should be straightforward

• I have a Mini in the garage connected to the garage light and a lever switch ( the Mini does push button / momentary switches as well ).
• I have a Basic R3 in the bedroom controlling an under bed LED light strip

Using the Ewelink app, I created a scene that would turn on the under bed light when the garage light was switched on. I used the lever switch to turn on the garage light, and the under bed light turned on.

Is that what you're after ?

Ah, awesome! That'll work perfectly for what I need. So no need for the RF link then.

Thanks very much. I just want my under counter kitchen lights to switch on with the other kitchen lights, and not keen to do it via wiring.

Got everything hooked up yesterday with 2 Sonoff minis that I had.

I assume that it won't work if the internet is down? Luckily I never really experience that.

For the Mini's, there's a setting labeled " LAN control ". Make sure it's enabled for both devices. Your scene will continue to work in the event of an internet outage

Thanks, seems like it was on my default ;-)

Have you guys seen the no-neutral way to connect the SONOFF mini? Anyone ever try this?
