The Sonoff Orb-ZBW1L solves this with a Zigbee 3.0 module that works without a neutral wire, allowing you to control regular lighting via Home Assistant or another Zigbee hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower and Connectivity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe device operates on 100-240V~ 50\/60Hz with an EFR32MG22 chip and communicates via Zigbee 3.0, without WiFi or Matter. As a Zigbee end device, it does not have a router function, so it does not repeat the Zigbee signal for other devices in your mesh network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFunctionality and Settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switching capacity is a maximum of 6A resistive load. Thanks to optimization for low power, the switch works stably with LED lamps from 3W, without flickering and without the need for an external anti-flicker module. Please note: connecting an external flash suppression module can actually damage the device, which is not recommended by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExpansion and Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a stable Zigbee network with sufficient range, we recommend a \u003ca title=\"Zigbee USB controllers\" href=\"\/en\/collections\/smart-home-usb-controller?sort_by=best-selling\u0026amp;filter.p.m.custom.protocol=Zigbee\"\u003eZigbee USB controller\u003c\/a\u003e, as this device itself does not transmit a signal.
