Which one should you buy?

For most Australian homes the SONOFF MINIR4 at 47.36 dollars is the one to reach for - it is a super-tiny WiFi relay that fits behind almost any existing switch, supports normal and momentary switches and is the community favourite with by far the deepest reviews here, which is why it is our value pick. Be honest with yourself first though: it is CE-marked, not SAA or RCM-certified, so it is not Australian-certified and a licensed sparky may decline to install it - we disclose that plainly and let you decide. If you want the cleanest AU certification, the meross Matter in-wall relay at 35.99 dollars is the cheapest pick here and is SAA and RCM-certified, so it is legal to hardwire and works with any Matter hub. For a Zigbee, hub-based home the SONOFF ZBMINIL2 at 50.18 dollars is a no-neutral module (CE-only), and for heavier circuits the meross 16A SAA and RCM relay 2-pack at 55.99 dollars is the best AU-certified pick for higher loads. If you would rather replace the whole faceplate, the Brilliant Lighting WiFi dimmer mech at 79.95 dollars is the only true Australian wall-plate dimmer here, and the Aqara H2 at 89.00 dollars is the premium SAA-certified switch that looks like a real switch. Always use a licensed electrician for any hardwired switch.
