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

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is better overall as the cheaper module with a higher 2500W / 10A load, energy monitoring, power-off memory and full safety protection. The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 wins for the smallest form factor, multi-protocol connectivity, dry-contact mode and a 3-year warranty.

The Aqara offers a higher load rating plus energy monitoring and full four-way protection, while the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 is physically smaller, adds Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter alongside Zigbee, and supports dry-contact mode. Both require a neutral and both work as Zigbee routers.

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral), rated to 2500W / 10A on resistive loads. The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 is rated 2000W but only 8A, so it targets lighter loads and the smallest boxes rather than higher-current circuits.

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) includes energy monitoring, which the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 lacks. The Shelly, however, is the smaller module and the one to choose when a switch box is genuinely crowded.

Buy it if you have a neutral wire and want the cheaper module with a higher load ceiling, energy monitoring, full safety protection and power-off memory in a Zigbee or Aqara ecosystem with HomeKit.

Buy the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 if space is tight, you want multi-protocol connectivity across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter, dry-contact triggering, and a 3-year warranty, and your load stays within 8A.
