Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) vs Shelly 1 Gen4

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is better overall as the cheaper module with confirmed energy monitoring, power-off memory and full four-way safety protection. The Shelly 1 Gen4 counters with a 3-year warranty, more connectivity options and dry-contact mode, so it wins for buyers who value protocol flexibility.

Feature focus. The Aqara adds energy monitoring and full overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection, while the Shelly 1 Gen4 adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter alongside Zigbee plus dry-contact mode. Both require a neutral wire and both work as Zigbee routers.

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) confirms built-in energy monitoring, whereas the Shelly 1 Gen4 does not list energy monitoring. If tracking consumption alongside switching matters, the Aqara is the safer bet between these two.

The Shelly 1 Gen4 does. It combines Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter and carries a 3-year warranty, versus the Aqara's Zigbee-only design (with Matter through its hub) and one-year warranty.

Buy it if you have a neutral wire and want the cheaper module with energy monitoring, full safety protection and power-off memory in a Zigbee or Aqara ecosystem with HomeKit. It also acts as a Zigbee router.

Buy the Shelly 1 Gen4 if you want multi-protocol connectivity across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter, dry-contact triggering for garage doors and pumps, and the reassurance of a 3-year warranty, and your box has a neutral wire.
