Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) vs Shelly 2PM Gen3

Full Smart Relays comparison in 2026

Updated July 2026
Data from Amazon and official Aqara and Shelly sites.
2026 verdict
For a single-circuit Zigbee switch module, the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) edges this relay comparison, sweeping price, a full four-way safety suite (overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection), broader integrations, power-off memory, wet contact and a Zigbee router role. Both this Aqara module and the Shelly 2PM Gen3 include energy monitoring, but they are built differently: the Aqara is a one-channel Zigbee device that needs a hub, while the Shelly 2PM Gen3 is a two-channel Wi-Fi and Matter relay with an interlock/cover mode for roller shutters and blinds. Choose the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) for a safety-rich single circuit on a Zigbee network; choose the Shelly 2PM Gen3 when you need two channels or Wi-Fi/Matter cover control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall, the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) or the Shelly 2PM Gen3?

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) wins this pairing on features per dollar: it is cheaper and adds a complete four-way safety suite, wider integrations, power-off memory and a Zigbee router role. The Shelly 2PM Gen3 remains the better choice if you specifically need two channels or a Wi-Fi and Matter cover controller.

What is the biggest difference between the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) and the Shelly 2PM Gen3?

Channel count and protocol. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is a single-channel Zigbee module (hub required) with a full safety suite, whereas the Shelly 2PM Gen3 is a two-channel Wi-Fi and Matter relay with an interlock/cover mode for motorized shutters and gates. Both include energy monitoring.

Do both of these relays offer energy monitoring?

Yes. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) and the Shelly 2PM Gen3 both track energy use. The Shelly measures it per channel across its two circuits, while the Aqara meters its single circuit.

Which one has more built-in safety protection?

The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) carries a full four-way suite: overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection. The Shelly 2PM Gen3 does not confirm those protections in its specs.

Who should buy the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral)?

Owners of an Aqara or Zigbee hub who want a single circuit made smart with strong safety protection, power-off memory and a device that doubles as a Zigbee repeater. It requires a neutral wire, so check your box.

Who should buy the Shelly 2PM Gen3?

Anyone needing to switch two circuits or automate a roller shutter, blind or gate from one module over Wi-Fi and Matter, with per-channel energy monitoring. It is the better fit for Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa users who want Matter rather than a Zigbee hub.
