1. المقدمة وما فوقview
The Sonoff Mini R4 Extreme Wi-Fi Smart Switch is a compact home automation module designed to transform traditional switches into smart switches, automating lights and electronic devices. Its tiny size allows it to fit into various mounting boxes, including the smallest European standard ones. Equipped with an upgraded ESP32 chip, the MINIR4 offers enhanced safety and reliability.
A key feature is the "Detach Relay Mode," which separates the states of external switches and the internal relay. This means operating a physical switch won't affect the smart light's online status, allowing continuous app control. The MINIR4 also functions as an "eWeLink-Remote" gateway, enabling local control by sub-devices like R5 and S-MATE via the eWeLink-Remote signal, which can then trigger other smart devices in a smart scene.
The product is certified for safety with TÜV, CE, and FCC, ensuring a secure and reliable smart home experience.

Video 1: Wiring and Pairing Tutorial for SONOFF MINI Extreme Wi-Fi Smart Switch | MINIR4. This video demonstrates the installation process.
5.1 التثبيت المادي
- إيقاف التشغيل: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you intend to replace or modify. Verify power is off using a voltagه اختبار.
- إزالة التبديل الموجود: Carefully pry off the switch panel and remove the external switch from the mounting box. Disconnect the existing wiring.
- تحضير الأسلاك: Strip the ends of the Live (L In), Neutral (N), and Load (L Out) wires if necessary, ensuring enough bare wire for secure connections.
- Wire the MINIR4: Connect the wires to the MINIR4 according to the wiring diagram below.
- Connect the Live Input (L In) wire to the 'L In' terminal on the MINIR4.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire to the 'N' terminal on the MINIR4.
- Connect the Live Output (L Out) wire (to the light/appliance) to the 'L Out' terminal on the MINIR4.
- If using an external switch, connect the two ends of the external switch to the 'S1' and 'S2' terminals on the MINIR4.
- Secure MINIR4: Place the MINIR4 inside the mounting box, ensuring all connections are secure and no bare wires are exposed.
- Reinstall Switch Panel: Reattach the switch panel.
- تشغيل الطاقة: استعادة الطاقة عند قاطع الدائرة.

5.2 App Pairing (Quick Start)
- Download eWelink APP: Download and install the eWelink app on your smartphone from your app store.
- تشغيل الطاقة: Ensure the Sonoff Mini R4 is powered on (after completing physical installation).
- الدخول في وضع الاقتران: Long press the pairing button on the Sonoff Mini R4 for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi indicator blinks twice and stays on for 1 second, then blinks again. This indicates it's in pairing mode.
- Open eWelink APP: Open the eWelink app, select "Bluetooth Pairing" from the add device options, and follow the on-screen steps to connect your device to your Wi-Fi network.

6. التشغيل
6.1 التحكم في التطبيق
Once paired with the eWelink app, you can control your Sonoff Mini R4 from anywhere. The app allows you to:
- تشغيل الأجهزة وإيقاف تشغيلها عن بعد.
- Set schedules, countdowns, and loop timers for automated control.
- Create smart scenes to automate actions based on various triggers (e.g., motion sensors, door/window sensors).
6.2 التحكم الصوتي
The Sonoff Mini R4 is compatible with popular voice assistants:
- اليكسا: Link your eWelink account to Alexa and use commands like "Alexa, turn off the light."
- جوجل هوم: Link your eWelink account to Google Home and use commands like "Hey Google, turn on the fan."
Figure 10: Timer and Voice Control options.
6.3 External Switch Control
The MINIR4 offers seamless compatibility with various external switches, allowing you to retain traditional control alongside smart functionality. It supports:
- مفاتيح لحظية
- Door exit switches
- SPDT switches
- Latching switches
- Dry contact sensors
Figure 11: Compatible external switch types.
Figure 12: Feature comparison across Sonoff Mini models.
6.4 Detach Relay Mode
In "Detach Relay Mode," the states of external switches and the internal relay are separated. This means that pressing the physical external switch button will not directly change the relay's state. For example, if you have a smart light, enabling "Detach Relay Mode" ensures that turning off the physical switch does not take the smart light offline. You can still control the smart light via the eWelink App or voice commands.
Figure 13: Detach Relay Mode functionality.
6.5 Smart Scenes and Automation
Integrate the Sonoff Mini R4 into your smart home ecosystem by creating smart scenes. It works with various sensors (motion, door, window) to automate actions. For instance, you can set a scene to turn on lights when a door opens or motion is detected.
Figure 14: Smart Scene capabilities.
6.6 Power-on State and Delay Protection
The MINIR4 includes an "Additional Protection - Delay Power-on State" feature. If power is restored after an outage, you can configure certain appliances to delay their power-on execution. This helps prevent all appliances from turning on simultaneously, which can cause high currents, damage appliances, and pose safety risks.
Figure 15: Delay Power-on State feature.
6.7 Advanced Integrations
The Sonoff Mini R4 can be integrated with other platforms for extended functionality:
- مساعد منزلي: Add the device to Home Assistant for centralized control and advanced automation.
