Key differences between Shelly 1L Gen4 and Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch

A summary of selected recorded differences between these relays. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices
  • Energy Monitoring (features): Shelly 1L Gen4 — No; Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (Bidirectional metering, so it reads solar generation as well as consumption, with a year of local data storage).
  • Zigbee Router (features): Shelly 1L Gen4 — Yes; Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — No.
  • Neutral Required (power): Shelly 1L Gen4 — No (No neutral wire is needed. A Shelly Bypass for 1L/2L, included in the pack, is required in parallel with the load.); Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (SONOFF's product FAQ answers that the MINI-1GSP does require a neutral wire).
  • Overpower Protection (safety features): Shelly 1L Gen4 — No; Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — Yes (The relay cuts power when current, voltage, power or temperature passes its safe limit).
Specifications to check side by side
  • Bluetooth (connectivity): Shelly 1L Gen4 — Yes (Bluetooth 4.2); Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — For Pairing (The manual's EU declaration of conformity lists BLE 2402-2480 MHz for this model, the transport Matter uses to commission a Wi-Fi device).
  • Zigbee (connectivity): Shelly 1L Gen4 — Zigbee Hub required (Zigbee 802.15.4, also acts as a Zigbee repeater); Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — No.
  • Ac Load Voltage (power): Shelly 1L Gen4 — 220-240 V; Sonoff MINI ONE PM Matter Over WiFi Smart Switch — 100-240V.
Information still to confirm
  • 14 of 46 comparison fields lack a resolved value for at least one selected device. Missing information is not evidence that a feature is absent.
  • Check the full table and manufacturer documentation before ruling out a device.

These observations are derived from recorded catalog data and have not all been independently verified. Confirm details with the manufacturer before purchasing.
