2026 verdict

Winner

€23.00€31.0026% OFF

When it comes to full safety coverage, the Shelly Plus 2PM is hard to beat in this smart relay matchup against the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch, backing a complete set of overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protections with dual-channel energy monitoring, dry-contact wiring for shutters and garage doors, and a 3-year warranty triple the Sonoff's coverage. The Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch hits back with a lower price, a broader integrations list thanks to IFTTT, settings that survive a power cut, and its role as a Zigbee router extending mesh coverage that the Wi-Fi-only Shelly cannot provide. The two are not really solving the same problem either: the Shelly Plus 2PM is a two-channel relay built for roller shutters and dual circuits, while the Sonoff switches a single circuit inside a Zigbee network. Buyers automating covers or wanting the safest-rated hardware should choose the Shelly Plus 2PM; those building out a Zigbee mesh on a budget will find more value in the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better overall: the Shelly Plus 2PM or the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch?
