Channel count and safety features. The Shelly Plus 2PM controls two circuits and lists full overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent and overpower protection, while the Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch is single-channel with none of those protections listed.
No, it connects over Wi-Fi with Bluetooth used for pairing. The Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch is Zigbee-only and requires a Zigbee hub to operate.
Yes, its interlock mode is built for bi-directional motors, making it a common choice for roller shutters, curtains and garage doors, a job the single-channel Sonoff ZBMINIR2 Extreme Zigbee Smart Switch cannot do.
Anyone automating shutters, blinds or two circuits who wants full safety protection and per-channel energy monitoring in one device.
Buyers who already run a Zigbee network and just need an affordable single-channel relay that also extends mesh coverage as a router.
