The Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 Zigbee offers impressive multi-protocol connectivity (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, Matter) in an ultra-compact form factor, but Zigbee mode activation is unreliable per community reports and power handling is limited to 5A/30V. Good for home automation enthusiasts comfortable with complex setup, mediocre for users wanting plug-and-play functionality.
