Is it possible to switch a BasicR2 on or off from an M5 wall switch without creating a scene?

Hi there, unfortunately, Basic R2 cannot be added to M5.

M5 functions as a gateway and devices like S-mate and R5 can be added to it.

Currently, there are only two remote control sub-devices in Sonoff, and they are S-mate and R5.  
You can learn how to add them to M5 and other remote control gateways from this page. [[eWeLink Remote Control | ITEAD STUDIO OFFICIAL](https://itead.cc/ewelink-remote-control/)]([https://itead.cc/ewelink-remote-control/](https://itead.cc/ewelink-remote-control/))
