Frequently Asked Questions
Which is better overall: the Shelly 2PM Gen4 or the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch?
The Shelly 2PM Gen4 wins this comparison, leading on safety, connectivity, integrations and energy monitoring, while the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch stays cheaper and simpler for single-circuit Zigbee setups.
What is the biggest difference between the Shelly 2PM Gen4 and the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch?
Protocol and channel count. The Shelly 2PM Gen4 has Zigbee built in alongside Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter, and controls two circuits, while the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch is Zigbee-only, needs a hub, and controls just one.
Does the Shelly 2PM Gen4 need a separate Zigbee hub?
No, it includes Zigbee support directly, unlike the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch, which cannot connect to anything without a separate Zigbee hub or bridge.
Can the Shelly 2PM Gen4 automate roller shutters?
Yes, it has a dedicated cover mode with obstacle detection built for roller shutters, blinds and gates, a job the single-channel Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch cannot do.
Who should buy the Shelly 2PM Gen4?
Anyone automating two circuits or a motorized cover who wants full safety protection, per-channel energy monitoring and multi-protocol connectivity in one device.
Who should buy the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch?
Buyers who already have a Zigbee hub and just need an affordable single-channel relay that also extends mesh coverage as a router.
