Zigbee Bridge Pro Hub Setup in 6 Steps

Quick answer

Setting up the SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro hub takes about 15 minutes: plug it in, connect to your Wi-Fi network via the eWeLink app, then pair your Zigbee devices one by one.

How to set up the SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro

1. Power on and connect the hub: Plug the SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro into a power outlet using the included USB cable and adapter. Wait for the LED to blink blue, indicating it's ready to pair. Common mistake: using a low-power USB port (like a TV) may cause unstable connection. Use the included adapter.
2. Install the eWeLink app: Download the eWeLink app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Create an account or log in if you already have one. Checkpoint: ensure your phone is connected to the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band—the hub does not support 5 GHz.
3. Add the hub in the app: Tap the '+' icon in the app, select 'Add Device', then choose 'Zigbee Bridge Pro'. The app will scan for nearby hubs. When the hub appears, tap it to pair. Common mistake: if scanning fails, press and hold the hub's button for 5 seconds to reset pairing mode.
4. Connect the hub to your Wi-Fi: Follow the app prompts to enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi password. The hub will connect and the LED will turn solid blue. Checkpoint: place the hub within 30 feet of your router during setup to avoid weak signal.
5. Pair your Zigbee devices: In the eWeLink app, tap 'Add Device' again and select 'Zigbee Device'. Put your Zigbee sensor, switch, or bulb into pairing mode (usually by pressing a button or cycling power), then wait for the app to discover it. Common mistake: pairing too many devices at once can cause timeouts. Add one device at a time for best results.
6. Test local automation and security modes: In the app, create a simple automation (e.g., turn on a light when a door sensor opens). Then test the Home, Away, and Sleep alarm modes to verify the hub responds without internet. Checkpoint: if automation fails offline, ensure the hub's firmware is updated in the app settings.
