Shelly Plus 2PM vs Sonoff MINI Dry Wi-Fi Smart Switch comparison

Updated July 2026

Data from Amazon and official Shelly and Sonoff sites.

2026 verdict

The Shelly Plus 2PM wins this smart relay comparison as the more capable module, pairing a longer 3-year warranty (versus 1 year) with a complete four-way safety suite (overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower), per-channel energy monitoring, two 10A channels and an interlock/cover mode for roller shutters and garage doors. The Sonoff MINI Dry Wi-Fi Smart Switch fights back as the cheaper, better-rated unit with broader integrations, notably Matter, Apple HomeKit and IFTTT that the Plus 2PM lacks, plus a physical on/off button. But it is a single-channel relay rated at only 2A. Buy the Plus 2PM for dual-circuit control, shutter automation, metering and full protection; pick the Sonoff MINI Dry for a low-cost single-load trigger with wide ecosystem support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the better relay, the Shelly Plus 2PM or the Sonoff MINI Dry Wi-Fi Smart Switch?

The Shelly Plus 2PM wins overall with two channels, energy monitoring, cover mode, a four-way safety suite and a 3-year warranty. The Sonoff MINI Dry is the value option, cheaper and higher-rated with Matter, HomeKit and IFTTT, but it is a single-channel 2A relay.

What is the biggest difference between them?

Scale versus ecosystem. The Shelly Plus 2PM is a dual-channel relay with cover mode, metering and full safety protection, while the Sonoff MINI Dry is a single-channel 2A trigger that adds Matter, Apple HomeKit and IFTTT support the Shelly does not have.
