Automate your home cost-effectively using the existing WiFi and easily integrate it into the existing system – this is made possible by Shelly’s wide range of smart home products. These can be connected to your preferred voice assistant or home automation platform such as Google Home using the Shelly Smart Control app and conveniently controlled via your smartphone.
If you are undecided about which Shelly series is the right choice, the following sections provide a comprehensive insight into the different product ranges and their special features. This allows you to make the right decision that best suits your needs and preferences.
Easy control of electrical and home appliances: the Plus range
The Shelly Plus series enables everyone to organise their home more efficiently. The devices in the Shelly Plus series offer both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, enable the automation of all electrical appliances and do not require an additional hub. With customised schedules and power consumption monitoring, the home becomes not only smarter but also more energy efficient.
- The next generation Wi-Fi smart plug: The Shelly Plus Plug S is a Wi-Fi smart plug that can be used to monitor the power consumption of all devices such as lighting, heating or connected household appliances to optimise energy consumption.
- Smart protection for the home: The Shelly Plus Smoke is a smart wireless smoke detector that protects the home from potential fire hazards. In the event of smoke, the 85 dB siren and light alarm are triggered and a notification is immediately sent to the smartphone.
- The world’s smallest relay for intelligent control: With the Shelly Plus 1 Mini, you can control your electrical appliances intelligently without the need for a hub. Despite its small size, it offers powerful functions for controlling power consumption, such as creating customised schedules. This makes it ideal for automating light switches and sockets.
- For controlling blinds: The Shelly Plus 2PM has been specially developed for controlling bidirectional motors in the home, such as blinds or garage doors. Schedules such as closing the blinds in the evening or opening them in the morning can be easily created using a smartphone.
Hidden in the fuse box: the Pro series
The Pro series from Shelly offers a comprehensive automation solution without additional wiring. Designed for integration into DIN fuse boxes, it offers protection against overheating, overloading and overvoltage. With the Pro series, as with the Plus series, no additional hub unit is required to use the products.
- The Shelly Pro 1P is a smart single-channel DIN rail switch equipped with WLAN, LAN and Bluetooth. Enhanced with temperature, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, it switches off the outputs immediately and sends a notification to the smartphone if a change is detected. User-defined automation scenes can also be created for lighting or irrigation systems, for example. It enables complete intelligent automation of the fuse box without additional wiring and is perfectly designed for homes, offices, shops and businesses.
- The Shelly Pro 2PM with two-channel relay is suitable for more extensive applications. It is equipped with two-phase control, which is used for differentiated control of the separate phases. This enables detailed energy management and continuous monitoring of power consumption.
Long range, short response time: the Bluetooth series
One of Shelly’s most innovative product ranges is the Bluetooth series. It is not controlled via a hub, but exclusively via Bluetooth. The series can be used both with and without a gateway. The advantage of the gateway is that the products can be controlled from anywhere. Without a gateway, the products can only be controlled in the immediate vicinity. It includes, among other things:
- The Shelly BLU Motion is a motion detector with a long battery life that delivers notifications to the smartphone in real time. Not only does it have a very short response time of less than 100 ms, but it can also work seamlessly with other devices to effectively protect the home.
- The Shelly BLU Door/Window, allows to monitor the opening and closing of doors and windows from anywhere, at any time. Built-in LUX and tilt sensors instantly detect the opening of the door or window and then trigger a pre-defined home automation scenario, such as an alarm or turning off the heating. The device can be easily controlled and integrated into automation scenarios via the Shelly Smart Control app or other platforms.
More interoperability with Z-Wave: the Wave series
This series uses the Z-Wave chip generation (S800), a widely used standard for smart homes. With Z-Wave, various smart home products can interact with each other through a centralised smart hub, regardless of their brand or platform.
- The Shelly Qubino WAVE 1 is used to remotely control devices such as garage doors or irrigation systems. It is compatible with all certified Z-Wave gateways. Because the output contact is a dry contact (i.e. voltage-free), various power supply loads of up to 16 A can be connected. Thanks to its design, it fits behind all switches and sockets, turning them into a smart device.
- With Shelly’s 4-digital input controller, the Qubino WAVE i4, any installed Z-Wave device on the network can be controlled – at the touch of a button. Complex trigger scenarios and synchronised actions can be initiated manually, or created scenes can be activated or deactivated. The WAVE i4 can control up to 12 actions from four inputs and is expandable.
Conclusion
Overall, Shelly offers an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for automating the smart home. Its compatibility with other smart home devices is particularly noteworthy. Thanks to the different series, the products can be integrated into almost any home. With easy installation and a user-friendly app, the devices can be conveniently controlled and monitored from anywhere. This makes it easy to turn your own four walls into an intelligent and energy-efficient home.
