These counts describe the available data, not a quality score. More features do not automatically make a better device.
Consider your setup
Confirm which features appear in Apple Home and whether extra hardware or a subscription is needed for your intended use.
Inspect the specificationsConsider your setup
Confirm the exact device type and the features exposed in your chosen platform. Protocol support does not establish feature parity across apps.
Inspect the specificationsYour priorities, side by side
Mark the specifications you care about. Open manufacturer sources for verification scope; fields without citations remain catalog data. Expand notes for other qualifications.

BLE powers Proximity Mode, which lets the phone connect to the switch directly for basic control and settings when no Zigbee gateway is available
Zigbee 3.0 over IEEE 802.15.4, EFR32MG21
Smart timer, smart scene, group control and Zigbee Binding for direct device-to-device local control without the gateway
Designed for EU flush-mounted, 86-type and 120-type wall boxes, 60 mm depth recommended
Power metering is the separate MINI ONE PM model; this one reports no energy data and Zigbee2MQTT exposes none
The relay monitors electrical consumption.
Switchbot Relay Switch 1PM manufacturer product page →The described bridge function covers up to two compatible SwitchBot Bluetooth devices; it is not a universal Bluetooth bridge.
Document check only; not a hands-on test or verification of every regional or firmware variant.
Over-the-air updates through eWeLink, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
Power-on state is configurable as On, Off or Keep, plus a delayed power-on timer to stagger loads after an outage
The two parallel L Out terminals switch mains live to the load
Detach relay mode turns the wired wall switch into a smart trigger so connected smart bulbs never lose power
SONOFF lists its Zigbee role as Router: 180 m to the gateway by default and 250 m with Turbo mode enabled
SONOFF's own feature table lists on/off, smart scene and smart timer through Alexa, using an Echo with a built-in Zigbee hub or the eWeLink skill
The product page states it works with Apple Home via a SONOFF Matter bridge (ZBBridge-U, iHost or eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle). Apple Home has no Zigbee radio of its own.
SONOFF lists Google Home for this model via its Matter bridges or via eWeLink cloud-to-cloud once the switch is added through a SONOFF Zigbee gateway
Zigbee2MQTT supports this exact model from version 2.12.1 and exposes state, power-on behaviour, detach relay mode, turbo mode and overheat reporting. ZHA support is still pending a merge, so ZHA users need SONOFF's setup script for the full feature set.
The switch itself is Zigbee, not Matter: SONOFF republishes it into Matter through its own bridges (ZBBridge-U, iHost, eWeLink CUBE with a SONOFF Zigbee dongle).
Matter integration is supported.

SONOFF's feature table lists SmartThings through the Aeotec SmartThings Hub (V3), which pairs it as a standard Zigbee device
Rated 16A 100-240V~ 50/60Hz
SONOFF states a neutral wire is required, and the wiring diagram uses N, L, two parallel L Out terminals and the S1 external switch input
60% higher than the ZBMINIR2, which is rated 10A
SwitchBot Relay Switch 1PM is equipped with an overload protection feature that automatically disconnects the input if the current exceeds 16A. This protection helps prevent overheating or potential damage by cutting power when high current levels are detected. If overload protection is triggered, you can reset the device by turning off the power and restarting it, which will clear the protection state.
Built-in high-precision temperature sensing cuts the relay output when the temperature approaches the safety threshold, and Zigbee2MQTT exposes the resulting device_overheated attribute
