How do I reset Sonoff MINIR4M (matter) without physical access to the reset button

[alfrick]

My Sonoff MINIR4M (Matter version) is fitted in a tight place that cannot be easily accessed. I recently started experiencing some abnormalities, such as the device not responding. I had to delete it and try to reinstall it on my iHost, but the process turned out to be unsuccessful due to the inability to reset the device remotely.

For the Zigbee versions, I can easily switch on and off 10 times to reset them remotely but for this particular one, I’m unable to. Is there any workaround towards resetting it without physically accessing the reset button?

Hey,

May I ask if you are using the eWeLink app with the device too? If you experience frequent unresponsiveness with Matter, would you be interested in using a test firmware that could fix the issue?

If not, an official patch is coming soon to solve the Matter SDK bug.

MINIR4M , M5M and Matter

Hi Everyone, I have installed MINIR4M and used it with Apple’s HomeKit post pairing with the eWeLink app first. But on random intervals, I get device unresponsive messages on Apple’s Home app. Does this mean, it’s using Matter over WiFi and not using my Apple TV or HomePod as Matter hub? (I don’t have any other Matter hubs at home) Do I have to pair it with Apple’s Home App first and then pair with eWeLink app? Do you think that will solve the issue? Or I am making some other mistake. Any he…

If you want to try this, please connect it with the eWeLink app (through Bluetooth discovery), and message me the device ID for OTA push
