A monitored single relay
SwitchBot Relay Switch 1PM is the power-monitoring version of the single relay module. It is still a direct Matter-over-Wi-Fi device, so it can join a Matter ecosystem without a SwitchBot hub.
The reason to choose it over Relay Switch 1 is power context. If you only need on/off control, the extra monitoring may not matter.
Setup path
Start with the wiring requirements, not the app. Confirm load, neutral, enclosure space, and local electrical rules before ordering or installing the module.
Once the relay is installed, use SwitchBot for firmware and richer power details, then add it to your Matter app for everyday control.
What to verify
Matter support should cover the relay control path. Power data is less consistent across ecosystems, so test that visibility before building automations that depend on wattage or energy totals.
Best for
- One-load retrofit jobs where power draw is useful
- Automation projects that need a hidden relay instead of a visible switch
- Matter homes that want direct Wi-Fi setup without a SwitchBot hub
Skip if
- You need two independent relay channels
- Your ecosystem must expose complete energy history
- You want a finished in-wall switch with a faceplate
