If this post looks familiar. That’s because it’s very similar to the one I’ve just finished on the new Sonoff Basic-1ZBGSP din-rail breaker – but this one runs on WiFi over MATTER. This arrived from me a couple of hours ago and I’ve just plugged it in now, no messing…

Sonoff Mini-ZB1GSP Power Monitoring Switch
I hope I have that right – this is another brand new Zigbee 3.0 device from Sonoff – and once again it’s a safe bet that it can be used either with the eWeLink app or bypass that altogether and use it directly in Home Assistant with the Zigbee2MQTT add-in…
Sonoff Mini PM – Endlessly Shrinking Power Monitors
This morning the brand new Sonoff Mini PM arrived on my desk. The PM stands for power monitoring and this is a truly TINY PM (power monitor) (not switch), comparing well in that respect with other manufacturers I’ve come across. Which is why I wonder, with such a marvellously small…
XTU S7 Pro – 4k Flagship Action Camera
Can it possibly be that long since I reviewed an action camera? Apparently yes. It was 2017 when I reviewed the ODVRM Action Camera. And here we are – we’ve moved home at least twice since then, I’ve gone from using cheap mobile phones to the Samsung S24 Ultra and…
You’re not going to believe this – A Sonoff BOX

Two New Products – Sonoff Airguard and SenseGuard
Specifically the new Airguard TH Lite and the SenseGuard Motion Gen2. These two products arrived on my desk this morning – once again Sonoff are on the march with new products and I’m sure they won’t disappoint. So firstly these are both Zigbee and regular readers will know I’m a…
GL-iNet Comet Q Remote KVM
Regular viewers will know I reviewed several KVMs a while back and now I have the very new Comet Q from GL-iNET. The Comet Q is WEIRD. All you get in the box is the round, black Comet Q, a removeable orange protective sleeve and instructions. This tiny device has…
Cheap AliExpress 4-Button Scene Switch
Back in 2021 I wrote about the Aqara 1, 2 and 4 way scene switches. Great idea, at the time I had limited use for them. A lot has happened meantime and the Zigbee scene switches they sent me are now in use in our new home. I also have…
The Nous L14 Zigbee Smart Water Valve
Original November 2025 – update June 2026 You might want to look up my Sonoff BSP article from December 2024 for comparison – as the L14 device is in many ways similar to the BSP. The Nous L14 is a Zigbee smart water valve. It is compatible with Zigbee2MQTT, Google…
