Verified AliExpress match to the Shelly Gen 4 Smart Home Products

The listing specifies identical core specs: 1-channel relay, 8A rating, power monitoring, Zigbee and Bluetooth radios, and hub-free operation with Alexa and Google Home. These match Shelly's published Gen4 specifications. The only verification gap is that the listing has zero reviews, so there is no buyer-reported confirmation yet that units delivered match the listing. The product category (smart relay from a non-luxury brand) carries low counterfeit risk.

Shelly Gen4 devices support Alexa and Google Home natively, as confirmed in the listing. Native HomeKit support is not part of the Gen4 spec — integration is possible via third-party bridges like Home Assistant or Homebridge, which use the Shelly's Zigbee or local API. Buyers who need out-of-the-box HomeKit pairing without a bridge should verify compatibility before purchasing.

No — the Gen4 Mini supports hub-free operation via Bluetooth for local control and the Shelly Cloud app. The Zigbee radio allows it to join an existing Zigbee network (such as a Zigbee2MQTT coordinator or a SmartThings hub) if you prefer that ecosystem. Both modes are available on the same unit without additional hardware.

The Gen4 Mini uses Bluetooth and Zigbee. Matter support is not confirmed for this specific model in the listing or in The Hook Up's Gen4 review coverage. Buyers building a Matter-first network should check Shelly's current firmware release notes before assuming Matter compatibility; it may be added via OTA update but is not guaranteed at purchase.

Shelly's Gen4 Mini series is designed for both 110V and 230V AC mains — the device is dual-voltage compatible, which is a known spec for this product line. However, since this AliExpress listing does not explicitly state voltage range, confirm the listed variant before purchasing if you are wiring into a US 110V circuit to ensure it matches Shelly's standard dual-voltage SKU.

The Shelly Cloud app is available globally on iOS and Android with no mandatory subscription for basic local and remote control. Advanced features like scripting and automation rules are included free. Cloud relay is available without a paid tier, though Shelly does offer a paid plan for multi-user access and extended data history — the free tier is sufficient for most single-household installs.
