work. For standard two-wire installations without neutral, connect the Live wire to the L terminal and the Load output to the Load terminal, leaving the Neutral terminal unconnected. For installations with neutral available, connect Neutral to the N terminal for enhanced stability. Mount the device in the switch box or distribution board, then restore power and wait 10 seconds for the device to boot. Download the eWeLink mobile application, create an account, and scan the QR code on the device to add it to your network. The device will automatically attempt WiFi connection if credentials were previously configured, or enter pairing mode for new setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce added to eWeLink, configure the device name, assign it to a room, and enable voice assistant integration by linking your Amazon Alexa or Google Home account within the app settings. For inching function setup, access the device settings and select Timer mode, then set the desired auto-off duration. Create automation routines by navigating to the Automation section, selecting trigger conditions such as time-based schedules or sensor inputs, and defining the desired relay action. Test all configurations by toggling the relay through the app, voice commands, and physical wall switch to ensure proper operation. For advanced users, the device supports local network control via Bluetooth without cloud connectivity, providing enhanced privacy and faster response times in installations with reliable local WiFi networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan the Sonoff mini R3 work without a neutral wire in my existing switch installation?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the mini R3 is specifically designed to operate without a neutral wire connection, making it ideal for retrofitting in older buildings and standard switch boxes. Simply connect the Live wire to the L terminal and the Load output to the Load terminal. The device draws minimal current through the connected load circuit to power its internal circuitry, eliminating the need for neutral wire. However, if neutral wire is available in your installation, connecting it to the N terminal provides additional stability and is recommended for optimal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill the Sonoff mini R3 continue to work if my WiFi network goes down?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the device features automatic fallback to Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity when WiFi is unavailable. You can continue controlling the switch through the eWeLink app using Bluetooth within 10-15 meters range, or through physical wall switch operation. However, voice commands through Alexa or Google Home require active WiFi connection to cloud servers. Once WiFi is restored, the device automatically reconnects and synchronizes with cloud services. This dual-protocol design ensures reliable operation even during network outages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the maximum electrical load the Sonoff mini R3 can safely control?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sonoff mini R3 has a rated relay capacity of 16A at 250VAC or 125VAC, which translates to a maximum safe load of 3680W at 230V single-phase supply commonly used in India. This covers most residential lighting circuits, ceiling fans, and standard appliances. Do not exceed this rating as it may damage the internal relay and create fire hazards. For loads exceeding 16A, use external contactors or relays controlled by the Sonoff device. Always verify the actual power consumption of your equipment before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the Sonoff mini R3 compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the device is fully compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants. Integration is performed through the eWeLink app by linking your Alexa or Google Home account. Once linked, the device appears in your Alexa or Google Home app, and you can control it using voice commands like \"Alexa, turn on the living room light\" or \"Hey Google, switch off the fan\". The device supports both on\/off control and can be included in routines and automation scenes within both ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I monitor power consumption with the Sonoff mini R3?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sonoff mini R3 provides real-time power consumption monitoring through the eWeLink mobile application. The app displays instantaneous power draw in watts, cumulative energy usage in kilowatt-hours, and historical consumption graphs for daily, weekly, and monthly analysis. This data helps identify high-consumption appliances and optimize energy usage patterns. However, note that power monitoring accuracy depends on proper installation and may have a margin of error of approximately 5-10% compared to dedicated energy meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhen will I receive my order?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 1-5 business days from our Bengaluru warehouse.
