SONOFF introduced OpenEdge in a post published August 23, 2026, and revised on August 25. Its first confirmed buy-now compatible device is the MINI-1GSP, a $19.90 concealed Matter-over-Wi-Fi relay. The new local platform gives the module a browser console plus JSON-RPC over HTTP, WebSocket, and MQTT. Home Assistant can discover it through MQTT, while Matter provides the simpler cross-platform switch path.
That combination is useful because energy data often becomes less portable than basic on-off control. SONOFF says MINI-1GSP measures power consumption and solar generation in both directions. Its OpenEdge console displays real-time and historical energy, exports data, manages timers, and sets electrical protection thresholds without requiring a cloud account. Matterhome has not tested those claims or the meter's accuracy.
Only one model has a confirmed OpenEdge checkout
SONOFF's current OpenEdge page labels only MINI-1GSP as "Shop Now." On that compatibility page, the MINI-1GP non-switching meter, MINI-1GS10 switch, and CAM-S3W window camera remain marked coming soon. Owners should not assume OpenEdge is a firmware update for older SONOFF hardware or that every new model supports the console.
MINI-1GSP itself has an active checkout on SONOFF's store. The company lists Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings for Matter control. Home Assistant gets a separate documented path through MQTT Discovery, alongside direct HTTP and WebSocket APIs for other local systems. The relay uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, not Thread, so it needs a Matter controller but no Thread border router or SONOFF hub.
The Connectivity Standards Alliance certified a SONOFF MINI ONE Wi-Fi Smart Switch against Matter 1.5 on July 8. The certification record does not print the full MINI-1GSP storefront model, so the exact identity, energy functions, and OpenEdge support still come from SONOFF's product page rather than the certificate alone.
The wiring is still the buying decision
The module measures 39.5 x 33 x 16.8 mm and is intended for concealed indoor installation. It needs neutral wiring, a 100-240 V AC circuit, and reliable Wi-Fi inside the box or enclosure. SONOFF's 16 A rating is explicitly for a resistive load. A motor, pump, transformer, crowded box, or unfamiliar mains circuit needs a separate suitability and safety check.
Matter should be treated as the portable on-off layer until the chosen platform proves otherwise. SONOFF does not promise that energy history, electricity tariffs, data export, or protection settings appear identically in Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, and SmartThings. Buyers who need those details should plan to use OpenEdge, MQTT, or eWeLink and test that second path before installing several modules.
The $19.90 price is not a reason to order several before the integration is proven. Put the first module on an accessible, low-risk circuit and verify the physical switch, Matter state, meter direction, Home Assistant entities if used, and recovery after both a router restart and a power cut. MINI-1GSP earns a larger rollout only when its local interfaces solve a real integration problem and the electrical work is already settled.
