2026 verdict

Winner

€23.00€31.0026% OFF

The Shelly Plus 2PM wins this smart relay comparison as the more affordable and better-reviewed unit, and it packs far more capability: two channels, per-channel energy monitoring, a complete four-way safety suite (overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower) and an interlock/cover mode for roller shutters, curtains and garage doors. The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 is the more modern, protocol-rich module, adding Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter with a Zigbee router role and Apple HomeKit support, all in a much tinier single-channel body. Both need a neutral wire and offer dry and wet contacts. Buy the Plus 2PM for dual-circuit and shutter automation with metering and full protection; choose the Mini Gen4 when space is tight, you only need one circuit, and you want Matter, Zigbee or HomeKit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the better relay: Shelly Plus 2PM or Shelly 1 Mini Gen4?

The Shelly Plus 2PM comes out ahead overall thanks to its two channels, per-channel energy monitoring, full four-way safety protection and cover mode, plus a lower price and higher owner rating. The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 wins on modern radios (Zigbee, Matter, HomeKit) and its tiny single-channel size.

What separates these two relays most?

Scope. The Plus 2PM is a dual-channel unit with energy monitoring, a four-way safety suite and shutter/cover mode, while the 1 Mini Gen4 is a single-channel module built for compact multi-protocol control with Zigbee, Matter and a Zigbee router role. One is about circuits and metering, the other about protocols and size.

Which one supports Matter and Apple HomeKit?

Only the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4. It adds Matter, Zigbee and Bluetooth and works with Apple HomeKit, whereas the Shelly Plus 2PM runs over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only and does not support Matter or HomeKit, though it still covers Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant.

Who should buy the Shelly Plus 2PM?

Buy the Shelly Plus 2PM if you want to automate roller shutters, blinds or garage doors, control two circuits, and get per-channel energy monitoring plus full overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower and overheating protection at a lower price.

Who should buy the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4?

Buy the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 if you only need one circuit, have a very tight box, and want the newest protocols, Zigbee, Matter, Bluetooth and Apple HomeKit, plus a Zigbee router role to extend your mesh.
