Specifications

The S60ZBTPG is SONOFF's UK version of its S60 Zigbee plug: a single Type G outlet with a relay and an energy meter behind it. SONOFF rates it at 250 V, 50/60 Hz and 13 A, with a maximum load of 3250 W. It uses a Telink TLSR8656 Zigbee 3.0 chip and repeats Zigbee traffic, so it strengthens the mesh wherever it is plugged in.1

Where it is used

  • Plug-in loads in branch offices and shops, such as water boilers and printers, measured alongside the site meter so their share of the baseload is known.

    Multi-site energy monitoring

  • Turning equipment off overnight and at weekends, with the daily and monthly counters showing the energy saved.

  • A short survey of what an appliance draws and when it runs, before deciding whether it deserves a fixed circuit meter.

Interface

On the Zigbee network it joins as a router and extends the mesh for other devices.1

Power, current and voltage come from a SONOFF manufacturer-specific cluster (0xFC11), as do the daily and monthly energy counters. The cumulative energy total uses the standard Zigbee Simple Metering cluster.4

The plug's public Zigbee definition asks for power and current reports no more often than every 10 seconds, and for the three energy counters every 60 to 3,600 seconds or after a 0.05 kWh change.4

The plug can keep reporting a small current and power after the relay opens. The definition forces both to zero while the plug is off, so read a standby figure together with the relay state.4

Setup

  1. Open pairing in Edge

    In Edge, open pairing on the Gateway's Zigbee network. The Gateway accepts new devices while pairing is open.

  2. Plug it in

    Plug the S60ZBTPG into a socket and switch the socket on. On its first power-up it enters pairing mode by itself and the blue network LED flashes slowly. Pairing mode lasts 180 seconds.1

  3. Or start pairing by hand

    On a plug that has been paired before, press and hold the button for 5 seconds until the blue LED flashes slowly.1

  4. Confirm the join

    The blue LED stays on once the plug is connected. A fast flash means the connection is not working. Check that Edge identifies it as SONOFF S60ZBTPG.1

  5. Check one reading

    Switch the relay from Edge and check that the red power LED follows it. Then run a load of known rating, such as a 2 kW heater, and compare the power reading with its rating.

Common questions

Does the S60ZBTPG need a SONOFF hub to work with Edge?
No. It is a Zigbee 3.0 device, so it joins the Zigbee radio on an EpiSensor Gateway directly, and Edge reads it on the Gateway without a SONOFF hub or the eWeLink cloud.1
What is the maximum load?
13 A and 3250 W at 250 V. SONOFF advises against motor-driven loads with a high starting current, such as air conditioners, refrigerators and washing machines, and against EV charging.1
Why did the plug turn off by itself?
Its protection opened the relay. The maximum current and power limits are always active, and while the plug is locked out its blue LED flashes quickly without stopping. Remove the excess load and switch it back on remotely.1
Can I set my own protection limits?
Yes. The plug accepts upper limits for power (up to 3250 W) and current (up to 14 A), and optional lower limits for power and current plus upper and lower voltage limits between 165 and 277 V.3
Is there a version for European sockets?
Yes. The S60ZBTPF fits Type C, E and F sockets and is rated at 16 A and 4000 W.2
