Shelly 1PM Gen4 vs Sonoff MINI Dry Wi-Fi Smart Switch

The Sonoff MINI Dry wins overall as the cheaper, higher-rated relay with IFTTT support and a physical button. The Shelly 1PM Gen4 is the pick if you specifically want energy monitoring, Zigbee routing or its higher 16A rating, none of which the Sonoff offers.

Metering and load. The Shelly 1PM Gen4 adds power metering, Zigbee and Bluetooth radios and a 16A rating, while the Sonoff MINI Dry has no energy monitoring, is Wi-Fi only and rates just 2A. One is a metered workhorse; the other a cheap dry-contact trigger.

Only the Shelly 1PM Gen4. It measures instant power, voltage and total consumption, whereas the Sonoff MINI Dry Wi-Fi Smart Switch has no energy monitoring. If tracking power draw matters, the Shelly is the one to choose.

Buy the Sonoff MINI Dry if you want a cheap, well-reviewed way to trigger a gate or garage door, value IFTTT support and a physical on/off button, and your load stays within its 2A limit.

Buy the Shelly 1PM Gen4 if you want energy monitoring, multi-protocol control with Zigbee and Matter, a Zigbee router role, and a higher 16A rating with no neutral wire required. It handles heavier, monitored loads the Sonoff cannot.
