| Comparison parameter | Smart Switch Frame H2 2-Gang Aqara FE-X01D-W | Smart Switch Frame H2 2-Gang Gray Aqara FE-X01D-G | Smart Switch Frame H2 3-Gang Gray Aqara FE-X02D-G Aqara | Smart Switch Frame H2 3-Gang Aqara FE-X02D-W | Smart Home Dual Relay Module, Aqara DCM-K01 | Smart Home Roller Shade Controller T1S CD-M03D Aqara | Practical significance of differences |
|---|
| Product type | Switch frame | Switch frame | Switch frame | Switch frame | Relay module | Shade controller | The devices perform completely different functions: from decorative switch surrounds to hidden control of electrical loads and roller blinds. |
| Gang / channel count | 2-gang (for 2 devices) | 2-gang (for 2 devices) | 3-gang (for 3 devices) | 3-gang (for 3 devices) | 2-channel control | 1 roller blind control | The gang count of the frame determines the number of switch paddles, while modules and controllers directly manage electrical loads or actuators. |
| Color / Finish | White | Gray | Gray | White | Built-in module | Built-in actuator | The color of the frames should match the interior design, whereas modules are hidden from view and chosen for technical wiring needs. |
◎ The suitability table below evaluates various usage scenarios and buyer needs to help select the most appropriate device.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why this choice is more suitable |
|---|
| Organizing wall control for two devices in a light interior | Smart Switch Frame H2 2-Gang Aqara FE-X01D-W | Ideally matches the color and capacity requirements for two switch paddles in a light-toned room. |
