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

Full Smart Relays comparison in 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Shelly sites.
2026 verdict
The Shelly Plus 2PM takes this smart relay matchup as the more feature-dense unit: it is a dual-channel relay with two circuits, per-channel energy monitoring, an interlock/cover mode for roller shutters, curtains and garage doors, full four-way safety protection (overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower) and a 3-year warranty. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) keeps this close on the things it does well: it is the cheaper option, it confirms power-off memory, it reaches more integrations (Apple HomeKit and IFTTT, which the Plus 2PM lacks), and it installs in boxes with no neutral wire, where the neutral-required Shelly cannot go. Both work with Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. Pick the Shelly Plus 2PM to control two circuits, automate shutters and track energy per channel; pick the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (No Neutral) for a cheaper single-circuit relay with HomeKit in a no-neutral box.
