The Aqara Smart Wall Switch (With Neutral) - Single, and it isn't especially close: it costs less, holds a higher owner rating, adds energy monitoring plus overheating and overpower protection, and reaches more smart home platforms than the Aeotec WallMote Quad. Part of that gap comes from what each device actually is: the Aqara switch is a wired, single-gang relay that needs a neutral wire to control one lighting circuit and its power draw, while the WallMote Quad is a rechargeable, four-button Z-Wave Plus scene controller that switches nothing physically and instead triggers up to sixteen scenes through a hub. Given that mismatch, it makes sense the WallMote Quad doesn't win any row here, since price, safety features and energy monitoring were never part of its design brief. Each device still needs its own hub to be useful, Zigbee for the Aqara switch and Z-Wave for the WallMote Quad, so neither is a complete solution by itself. Get the Aqara single switch for a neutral-wire box where you want one circuit switched with safety protection and energy tracking; get the WallMote Quad only if what you're really after is a wireless scene remote, not a switch.
