The with-neutral sibling of our no-neutral H1 pick — same plain Zigbee 3.0 device that pairs directly into Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA despite the box pushing the Aqara Hub. The neutral wire buys you two things the no-neutral version can't offer: full power/energy metering per gang, and Zigbee router duty for your mesh. It's rated 8A (around 1,840W resistive at UK mains), fine for lighting circuits, but the switch module itself is 37.55mm deep, so shallow 25mm UK back boxes won't take it without a spacer or deeper box swap. Expect to pay a few pounds more than the no-neutral H1 for the extra hardware.
What can Home Assistant control on the Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 (With Neutral, Double Rocker)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Switch (left) | Switch | Independent on/off/toggle control for the left gang's relay, with optional timed shutoff. |
| Switch (right) | Switch | Independent on/off/toggle control for the right gang's relay, with optional timed shutoff. |
| Operation mode | Select (per gang) | control_relay vs decoupled; decoupled disconnects the physical rocker from its relay so it can be used purely as a scene-controller button. |
| Button action | Event | Publishes single/double/both-press button interaction events, usable as automation triggers regardless of operation mode. |
| Power / energy | Sensor | Real-time power draw and cumulative energy per relay, available only because the neutral wire powers the metering circuit. |
Zigbee2MQTT exposes the left and right gangs as fully independent switch entities, and because this variant is neutral-wired it also reports live power and cumulative energy per relay plus a device-temperature sensor — none of which the no-neutral H1 can offer. Each gang has its own operation-mode toggle, so either rocker can be pulled out of the load circuit and used purely as a two-button scene controller firing single/double/both-press action events. A known rough edge: operation-mode writes have failed to stick on some H1 firmware revisions, so check the exposed state actually changed rather than trusting the command succeeded.
