What the differences mean

Zigbee and Matter hub

The Sonoff NSPanel Pro is a Zigbee coordinator and router and a Matter bridge, so Zigbee sensors and bulbs can join it directly. The Shelly Wall Display has no hub function and talks to Shelly devices over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Room sensors

The Shelly Wall Display has temperature, humidity and ambient light sensors, which is what makes it useful as a thermostat panel. The Sonoff NSPanel Pro has only an ambient light sensor. Owners of the Shelly Wall Display add a Bluetooth sensor for accurate room readings, since the panel warms itself.

Ecosystems

Both list Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The Shelly Wall Display adds SmartThings, while the Sonoff NSPanel Pro adds Apple HomeKit. Neither has a voice assistant on the panel.

Warranty and age

The Shelly Wall Display comes with three years of warranty and dates from 2024. The Sonoff NSPanel Pro has one year and dates from 2022.

Screen

The two are nearly the same size, 4 inches on the Shelly Wall Display and 3.95 inches at 480 x 480 on the Sonoff NSPanel Pro. Owners of the Sonoff NSPanel Pro say the viewing angles are poor at switch height.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both panels use them as a control point on the wall for a Home Assistant setup, and both groups say installation is easy but that connectivity and speed can be sore points. Shelly Wall Display owners single out the native Home Assistant dashboards, the premium build, a thermostat that works well with the Bluetooth Blu H&T sensor and a relay that lets it replace a switch, while they report units dropping the network, a built-in thermometer that reads warm, a need for a neutral wire and isolated reports of stray voltage on the housing. Sonoff NSPanel Pro owners like the Zigbee hub and the scenes and devices it centralizes, and complain that it is underpowered, that the screen has poor viewing angles, that some units hang or wake on their own and that it has no switch relay.
