Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Single vs Aqara Smart Wall Switch (With Neutral) - Single

Full Smart Wall Switches comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from the official Aqara site.
2026 verdict
Same switch, two wiring paths: the Aqara Smart Wall Switch (With Neutral) - Single takes this one on price, rating, safety and energy monitoring.
Wiring in a neutral unlocks overheating and overpower protection plus energy monitoring, and it lets the switch act as a Zigbee router that strengthens your mesh, benefits the no-neutral version cannot offer. The Aqara Smart Wall Switch (No Neutral) - Single remains the answer for one specific situation, an older single-gang box with no neutral conductor, where it installs without rewiring. Both are single-circuit Zigbee switches that need an Aqara hub and share HomeKit, Matter, Alexa, Google Home, Home Assistant and IFTTT support. Choose the With Neutral Single whenever a neutral wire is present, for the safer, better-featured switch that also extends your Zigbee network; reach for the No Neutral Single only when your box has no neutral wire.
