Shelly Wave 1PM Mini - Ultra-compact Z-Wave relay with power monitoring that fits behind almost any existing switch

Owner’s hands-on review ★★★★★

My current go-to for single-switch automations

If a light sits at the end of a circuit, this is the switch I reach for to automate it. I haven’t put it to any other use yet, but for that job it’s been fantastic. I’ve only run the Z-Wave model, and it’s been rock solid.

Quick verdict

The smallest Z-Wave relay Shelly makes, and it includes power monitoring. Fits behind existing switches in tight boxes, reports energy usage per circuit, and runs entirely local through Z-Wave JS in Home Assistant. You need a Z-Wave controller, but if you already have one, this is one of the best compact relay options available.

Standout: Ultra-compact Z-Wave relay with power monitoring that fits behind almost any existing switch.

built-in power monitoring lets you track consumption per circuit
Z-Wave mesh reliability with no Wi-Fi congestion

Reasons to hesitate

requires a Z-Wave controller (USB stick or hub) on your Home Assistant instance
no native Matter or Thread support, locked to Z-Wave ecosystem
no direct voice assistant integration, must go through Home Assistant

Best for

Home Assistant users with an existing Z-Wave network who want compact behind-switch relays
anyone who wants reliable local control with power monitoring in a tiny package

Avoid if

you do not already have a Z-Wave controller and do not want to buy one
you want direct Apple Home, Google Home, or Alexa integration without Home Assistant

Privacy and local-control notes

Fully local via Z-Wave. No cloud, no internet needed. Power monitoring data stays on your network.

Home Assistant support: supported · integration path: Z-Wave JS.

Buying reality check

Price notes: Mid-range pricing for a Z-Wave relay. The built-in power monitoring adds value compared to basic relay modules.
