It needs no hub, switches two circuits or one cover motor in interlock mode, handles inductive, capacitive and DC loads as well as resistive ones, and carries a 3-year warranty against 1 year. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is the choice for a Zigbee home: it routes for the mesh, it reaches Apple Home and Matter through an Aqara hub where the Shelly supports neither, and it keeps a manual on/off button and power-off memory on the module. Both meter energy, both carry overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection and both need a neutral. Pick the Shelly Plus 2PM for roller shutters, blinds, two lighting circuits or a Home Assistant setup on Wi-Fi, and the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) for a single lighting circuit in an Aqara or Apple Home household.

What the differences mean

Channels and cover mode

The Shelly Plus 2PM switches two circuits, or runs one roller shutter, blind or curtain motor in interlock mode. The Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) has one channel and no cover mode.

Network

The Shelly Plus 2PM connects over Wi-Fi with Bluetooth for setup and needs no hub. The Aqara is Zigbee only, so it needs a Zigbee hub, and in return it routes for the mesh, strengthening the signal for battery sensors.

Apple Home and Matter

The Aqara reaches Apple Home and Matter through an Aqara hub. The Shelly Plus 2PM supports neither, though both work with SmartThings and Home Assistant, and the Shelly also with Alexa and Google Home directly.

Load types

The Aqara is rated for resistive loads only, up to 2500W and 10A. The Shelly Plus 2PM takes resistive, inductive, capacitive and DC loads at 10A per channel, which is what a shutter motor or an LED driver needs.

Warranty

The Shelly Plus 2PM is covered for 3 years, the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) for 1 year.

What owners say

Shelly Plus 2PM owners are often repeat buyers who run several or dozens of Shelly devices, and they describe years of use without failures. The cover mode is what they use it for most: roller shutters, curtains, awnings and garage doors driven from the existing wall switch with up, down and position control. Privacy-minded owners like that it runs entirely locally through Home Assistant without a cloud account, and per-channel energy readings round it out. The caveats they raise are a live and neutral requirement that older wiring does not always meet, a module that can run warm, and no feedback on whether a shutter or door is fully open or closed without a separate sensor.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
