The Tiny New Sonoff Mini One Matter-enabled Smart Switch

Not that much I can say about this one but I’ll try – it LOOKS very similar to other current-generation Sonoff switches. This is a gen 5 device with one output and an input switch. It operates via the eWeLink app or my Matter and local WiFi.

There’a nothing to say about setup in Home Assistant, I simply went to my MATTER integration and ADD DEVICE at which point I was told I have to use the Home Assistant Mobile app to add the device. I did that and the phone wanted to scan the QT code on the Mini One and as usual asked me to make sure my phone was on 2.4Ghz (that will soon be history as the ESP32-C5 devices become more popular).

And that was it – added to Home Assistant. When I started writing this – hardly any entities – switch, power up state – A tiny blue light glows constantly on the device – that was it.

The device works from -10 to +40c and is rated at 16A, 100-240v – max load 3840w. Dimensions 39.5*33*16.8mm, colour white and orange. No app or cloud connection needed,

But now (October 6 2026) I see some new config and diagnostic entities… time to publish 🙂

But there’s still a lot of controls not available in Home Assistant – far more in Sonoff OpenEdge which is a local website the device makes available on it’s local IP address- I checked on my network and there’s a local WEB SITE – Sonoff OpenEdge. LOTS of things – this is a VERY new.

Among the items that appear in OpenEdge, various timers including schedule, pool, countdown and random. Can be connected by MQTT, that blue LED can be turned off, inching mode, device logs – it’s got the lot! Ooh, update manager… I did that – it took a few minutes to update from v1.02 to v1.03 firmware but got there in the end.
