Features and benefits of Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro

The Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro comes with a number of features and benefits that make it a valuable addition to your smart home. Here are some of the most important:

Advanced Zigbee Support: Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro is compatible with a wide range of Zigbee devices, including light bulbs, sockets, sensors and more. This allows you to create a comprehensive and flexible smart home ecosystem.

Easy installation and setup: Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro is easy to install and configure. Simply connect the bridge to your Wi-Fi network and download the corresponding eWeLink app. Then you can easily add and control Zigbee devices from the app.

Centralized control: With the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro, you can control all your Zigbee devices from a single app. This makes it easy to turn lights on and off, adjust temperatures and monitor security systems without having to switch between different apps or devices.

Automation and Scheduling: Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro allows you to automate your Zigbee devices based on different scenarios and schedules. You can create rules and routines that activate certain actions when certain conditions are met.

Voice control: Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro is compatible with popular voice control services such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. This allows you to control your Zigbee devices using voice commands, making your smart home even more convenient.
External design: The Sonoff ZigBee Bridge Pro is similar to the previous model, the Sonoff ZB Bridge, which was launched a few years ago. It comes with a very short USB cable.

Interior Changes: Although it looks identical on the outside, there have been significant changes on the inside. The biggest change is the switch from the EFR32 ZigBee IC to the CC2652 series IC from Texas Instruments. Sonoff ZigBee Bridge Pro uses ESP32-DOWD v3 for Internet connection with Bluetooth support. A new feature is the addition of a battery that keeps the RTC clock running so that time-based settings can be made even in the event of a power outage.

Comparison with the non-pro model: Sonoff ZigBee Bridge Pro supports up to 128 sub-devices, which is a significant improvement from the original Zigbee Bridge that only supported 32 devices. The older Sonoff Bridge has a good range, but the Sonoff ZigBee Bridge Pro can cover your entire house even if your mesh network is not well developed.

Using the Sonoff ZigBee Bridge Pro: Pairing is done via Bluetooth and is quick and hassle-free. A new feature is the introduction of a security suite similar to those in the Aqara and Xiaomi ecosystems. This suite provides the ability to control home security with the touch of a button.
