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

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is better overall as the cheaper module with full four-way safety protection, and it matches the Shelly on energy monitoring and Zigbee routing. The Shelly 1PM Gen4 wins for no-neutral installs, dry-contact mode, a 16A rating and multi-protocol connectivity.

Both include energy monitoring, so the split is elsewhere: the Aqara requires a neutral and offers full safety protection at a lower price, while the Shelly 1PM Gen4 installs without a neutral, adds dry-contact mode and multiple radios, and is rated to 16A.

Yes. Both the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) and the Shelly 1PM Gen4 include energy monitoring, so consumption tracking is not the deciding factor. The choice comes down to wiring, dry contacts, load rating, connectivity and price.

The Shelly 1PM Gen4 does both: it installs without a neutral wire and supports dry-contact mode for triggering external devices. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) requires a neutral and uses wet-contact wiring only.

Buy it if you have a neutral wire and want the cheaper metered module with full overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection, power-off memory and a Zigbee router, ideally in a Zigbee or Aqara ecosystem with HomeKit.

Buy the Shelly 1PM Gen4 if you need no-neutral installation, dry-contact triggering, a 16A rating or multi-protocol connectivity across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter, all with energy monitoring built in.
