Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) vs Shelly 2PM Gen3

The Shelly 2PM Gen3 is the stronger overall pick, ahead on rating, warranty, a fuller safety suite, channel count and energy monitoring. Its catch is that it requires a neutral wire and only pairs over Wi-Fi and Matter, so buyers with no neutral in the box still need the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral).

It comes down to wiring and channels. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) is a single-channel Zigbee device that installs without a neutral wire, while the Shelly 2PM Gen3 is a two-channel Wi-Fi and Matter relay that requires a neutral and adds per-channel energy monitoring plus a cover mode for shutters.

Only one. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) is designed to work in boxes that have no neutral wire, which is its main selling point. The Shelly 2PM Gen3 requires a neutral connection at the install point.

The Shelly 2PM Gen3 includes built-in power metering on each of its two channels, so you can monitor consumption per circuit. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) does not offer energy monitoring.

Anyone on an Aqara or Zigbee hub who wants to make a single circuit smart cheaply, especially in an older switch box with no neutral wire. It also adds power-off memory and a physical button.

Buyers who need to control two independent circuits or a roller shutter, blind or gate from one module, and who want per-channel energy monitoring over Wi-Fi and Matter. The Shelly 2PM Gen3 does need a neutral wire, so confirm your wiring first.
