# SwitchBot Relay Switch 1PM

SwitchBot Relay Switch 1PM is the better single-output SwitchBot relay when power monitoring matters. Treat the energy feature as SwitchBot-first unless your chosen Matter platform proves it exposes the readings you need.

## Ecosystem Support

- Apple Home: Supported
- Google Home: Supported
- Alexa: Supported
- SmartThings: Supported
- Home Assistant: Limited

## 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

## Setup Notes

- Confirm wiring, load, and neutral requirements before buying.
- Keep SwitchBot's app for firmware and detailed power information.
- Pair through Matter only after the relay is installed and reporting correctly.

## Known Limitations

- Matter may expose switching more consistently than power data.
- The ecosystem may not know the real device type attached to the relay.
- Home Assistant behavior depends on current Matter energy-cluster support.

## Pros

- Direct Matter-over-Wi-Fi relay control
- Adds power-monitoring hardware for the controlled circuit
- No SwitchBot hub required
- Compact retrofit module for one load

## Cons

- Energy data exposure can vary by Matter platform
- Installation depends on wiring, enclosure space, and load type
- Not a finished wall control on its own

## 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.
