2026 verdict
Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is the better of the two Aqara T1 relays whenever your wall box has a neutral wire.
It doubles the load rating to 10A and 2500W, adds energy monitoring and overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection on top of overheating protection, and acts as a Zigbee router that strengthens the mesh. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) has a single reason to exist, and it is a good one: it installs in boxes with no neutral, which rule out most smart switches in older homes. Everything else is shared, from the 42.9 x 40 x 19.9 mm body and the Zigbee hub requirement to power-off memory, the on/off button, the 1-year warranty and support for Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home and Home Assistant, with Matter and SmartThings through an Aqara hub. Check the box: with a neutral, buy the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral); without one, the No Neutral model.

What the differences mean
Neutral wire
This is the whole decision. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) works with only line and load in the box. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) needs a neutral, which many older switch boxes lack.
Load rating
The With Neutral model handles 10A and 2500W of resistive load, the No Neutral model 5A and 1250W. Both are resistive only, so they suit lighting circuits, and the bigger rating matters on long runs of fixtures or heaters.
Energy monitoring
The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) reports what the connected circuit draws, which turns a light switch into a measurement point. The No Neutral model has no metering.
Protections
The With Neutral model cuts power on overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower. The No Neutral model has overheating protection only.
Zigbee routing
The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) relays messages for battery sensors as a Zigbee router, so each one installed makes the mesh more reliable. The No Neutral model joins the mesh but does not extend it.
Which one to buy if
- your switch box has no neutral wire
The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) is the only one of the two that installs without it.
- you want to track what a lighting circuit consumes
Only the With Neutral model has energy monitoring.
- you have many battery Zigbee sensors around the house
The With Neutral model routes Zigbee traffic and strengthens the mesh they rely on.
- the circuit carries more than 1250W
The With Neutral model is rated up to 2500W, twice the No Neutral model.
