Bring your smart home together with the Sonoff Bridge Max (Bridge-M)<\/strong> <\/a>is Sonoff’s advanced multi-purpose smart home hub, combining a powerful Zigbee 3.0 gateway, Matter Bridge, BTHome gateway, local automation hub and security centre in one compact device.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max is designed to help solve one of the biggest challenges in modern smart homes: getting devices from different ecosystems to work together.<\/p>\n Bridge compatible Zigbee, Bluetooth and eWeLink devices into the Matter ecosystem and bring them into platforms such as Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings. It also provides flexible integration with Home Assistant, allowing you to build a more open, local and interconnected smart home.<\/p>\n With support for up to 128 Zigbee devices<\/strong>, Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connectivity, local web-based management and an integrated security alarm, the Sonoff Bridge Max is an excellent central hub for growing smart homes.<\/p>\n The Sonoff Bridge Max is more than a traditional Zigbee hub.<\/p>\n It combines several smart home functions into one device:<\/p>\n This makes it particularly useful for homes that contain a mixture of Sonoff, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Matter and Home Assistant devices.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max represents a major step forward from older Sonoff Zigbee bridges.<\/p>\n One of the biggest upgrades is the ability to bridge compatible devices into the Matter ecosystem<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Instead of keeping your Zigbee devices isolated inside a single ecosystem, the Bridge Max can expose supported devices to Matter-compatible platforms.<\/p>\n This can allow compatible devices to be controlled from ecosystems such as:<\/p>\n This is especially useful if you want to combine Sonoff and third-party smart home devices without being locked into a single ecosystem.<\/p>\n While the ZBBridge Pro<\/a> focuses primarily on Zigbee devices, the Bridge Max expands your smart home connectivity.<\/p>\n Depending on supported integrations, the Bridge Max can work with:<\/p>\n This makes the Bridge Max a far more versatile hub for users building a mixed-brand smart home.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max includes a local web interface<\/strong>, allowing you to access supported configuration and Matter Bridge functions directly from your local network.<\/p>\n This provides a more flexible management experience and can reduce dependence on cloud-based control for supported functions.<\/p>\n Connect locally using:<\/p>\n This makes the Bridge Max particularly appealing to smart home enthusiasts who value local control, privacy and flexibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Unlike many traditional smart home hubs that rely entirely on Wi-Fi, the Bridge Max includes an RJ45 Ethernet port<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A wired connection can provide:<\/p>\n For a central smart home hub, this can be a major advantage.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max supports both:<\/p>\n It also supports modern Wi-Fi 6 networks<\/strong>, providing greater flexibility when connecting the hub to your home network.<\/p>\n This is a welcome improvement for users who want to avoid the limitations of older 2.4 GHz-only smart home hubs.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max supports up to approximately 128 Zigbee devices<\/strong>, making it suitable for significantly larger smart home installations.<\/p>\n Connect devices such as:<\/p>\n Because mains-powered Zigbee devices can also help build and strengthen your Zigbee mesh, the Sonoff Bridge Max can form the foundation of a reliable whole-home Zigbee network.<\/p>\n The Bridge Max offers additional flexibility for Home Assistant<\/strong><\/a> users.<\/p>\n Depending on the integration method and supported device types, you can use the Bridge Max to:<\/p>\n
