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

For controlling a circuit, the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is better overall, since it is a real relay that switches power and leads on safety, connectivity and integrations. The Shelly PM Mini Gen3 is the cheaper device but only measures energy and cannot switch anything, so they serve different needs.

The Aqara switches a circuit on and off and also monitors energy, while the Shelly PM Mini Gen3 is purely an energy monitor that reads consumption without any switching. One controls and measures; the other only measures.

No. The Shelly PM Mini Gen3 is a power meter, not a switch. If you need remote on/off control, the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) is the device that does that, and it monitors energy as well.

Yes, both include energy monitoring, but the Aqara Single Switch Module T1 (With Neutral) pairs that with switching, whereas the Shelly PM Mini Gen3 only measures. If you want both control and metering in one module, the Aqara covers it.

Buy it if you want to remotely control a circuit while tracking its energy use, with full safety protection and HomeKit support through an Aqara hub. It is the device that both switches and meters.

Buy the Shelly PM Mini Gen3 if your switching is already handled and you only want an accurate, compact way to measure a single circuit's energy use, such as monitoring an appliance in Home Assistant. It is the cheaper device but does not switch anything.
