Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) vs Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral)

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is better overall for homes that can supply a neutral wire. It handles a higher 2500W / 10A resistive load, adds overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection on top of overheating protection, includes energy monitoring, and acts as a Zigbee router to extend your mesh. The No Neutral model matches it on almost everything else but tops out at 1250W / 5A and skips those extras.

Wiring. The With Neutral model requires a neutral wire at the switch box, while the No Neutral model is designed to install and run in boxes that have no neutral. That wiring difference also drives the feature gap: only the With Neutral version adds energy monitoring, the full safety-protection set and a Zigbee router role.

Yes. Both are Zigbee modules that need an Aqara hub, and both work with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant, plus IFTTT and Matter through the hub. They also share wet-contact wiring, power-off memory and a one-year warranty, so ecosystem support is not a deciding factor between them.

The With Neutral module is rated to 2500W / 10A on resistive loads, double the 1250W / 5A ceiling of the No Neutral module, so it is the one to pick if you are driving a heavier circuit. Neither supports inductive or capacitive loads.

Buy it if your switch box has no neutral wire, which rules out the other model entirely, and you want the more affordable option. It still gives you Zigbee control, power-off memory, wet-contact wiring and the same broad platform support through an Aqara hub, just at a lower 1250W / 5A load limit without energy monitoring.

Buy it if your wiring includes a neutral and you want the most capable of the two: a higher 2500W / 10A load, full overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection, built-in energy monitoring and a Zigbee router that strengthens your mesh network.
