Introduction

Say hello to the Sonoff SNZB-01M – aka the Orb 4-In-1 – a compact and revamped Zigbee button that’s as smart as it is stylish. With multiple press options, it’s designed to trigger all kinds of smart home scenes without cluttering your walls. It’s sleek, modern, and fits in anywhere. Bonus: its circular design pairs beautifully with Legrand wall switches!

Product overview

The SNZB-01M is a round button delivered with a magnetic square base, adhesive pad, and screws. Each quarter of the button acts as a separate zone (1 to 4), recognizable by touch. Each zone accepts 4 types of presses: single, double, triple, and long. That’s a total of 16 different actions! A small LED confirms every press, and the included CR2477 battery promises up to 4 years of autonomy. Let’s hope that holds up – otherwise it’s just another battery to stash in our already overflowing drawers!

Installation

This button offers two operating modes: classic Zigbee 3.0 or eWeLink Remote, Sonoff’s local ultra-fast protocol compatible with a few select hubs.

Zigbee2MQTT

By far the smoothest and most complete integration. Just hold the reset button on the back for 5 seconds to enter pairing mode. Zigbee2MQTT instantly detects the model and shows all 16 actions with clear names like single_button_1 or long_button_2. No additional config needed. You’re ready to roll with Jeedom or Home Assistant automations via MQTT.

eWeLink Remote (NSPanel Pro / iHost)

Open the battery compartment and flip a tiny switch to activate eWeLink Remote mode. This only works with compatible hubs like the NSPanel Pro. Pairing is done via the eWeLink app, and once connected, the button talks directly to the hub – no cloud needed. It’s lightning fast and perfect for critical scenarios where timing matters.

Real-world use: fast, modular, and surprisingly fun

With a single press, trigger up to 16 different actions in Jeedom or Home Assistant. Instant reaction time, mini form factor, big control.

Example use cases in Jeedom

Scenario 1: Basic home control from the entryway

One button by the door controls everything as you come and go.

(Translated actions kept in original logic with brief descriptions for each button/press combo…)

Scenario 2: Advanced domotics control station

Use it in your tech room or office to manage backups, reboot systems, launch scripts, or even refresh sensor readings.

(…kept structure of all 16 actions)

Scenario 3: Outdoor kitchen & terrace control

Mounted near the patio, this button can run your lights, music, plancha hood, and even set the mood for BBQ nights.

Once installed, you’ll find yourself triggering lights, scenes, shutters, or even silent alarms without lifting more than a finger.
