The building blocks of the Shelly range
Shelly offers a suitable solution for every technology. These are the most popular options:
Wi-Fi Built-in Modules (Plus Series)
The heart of Shelly. These modules integrate seamlessly behind your switches and work directly with your Wi-Fi. Ideal for a quick start without a hub. Consider the 1PM for switching with energy metering or the Dimmer 2 for the perfect ambiance.
BLU Sensors (Bluetooth)
Compact, energy-efficient sensors that last for years on a single battery. Perfect for detecting motion (BLU Motion) or measuring temperature and humidity. They transmit their signal to your network via a Shelly Plus/Pro device or a BLU Gateway.
Wave Series (Z-Wave)
The professional line for maximum reliability and range. These products, such as the Wave Dimmer and various Plug & Play sensors, utilize the latest Z-Wave Long Range technology. Ideal for larger homes or situations where a stable mesh network is essential.
Shelly Wall Display
The central command center for your home. This smart 4-inch touchscreen replaces a traditional switch and lets you control and monitor all your Shelly devices (Wi-Fi, BLU, Wave). It also functions as a thermostat and a Bluetooth gateway.

Benefits (why you want it) |
Points of interest (what you need to know) |
✅ Freedom of choice in technology: Choose what suits you best: the convenience of Wi-Fi, the efficiency of Bluetooth, or the robustness of Z-Wave. Unique in the market. |
⚠️ Installation knowledge required: Basic electrical knowledge is required for the built-in modules. Safety first: if in doubt, always turn off the power or consult an expert. |
✅ Extremely flexible and open: Works perfectly with the free Shelly app, but also seamlessly with platforms like Home Assistant, Homey, and SmartThings. Your home, your choice. |
⚠️ Hub or Gateway sometimes required: The Wi-Fi line works without a hub. For the Z-Wave (Wave) line, you need a Z-Wave hub. For the Bluetooth (BLU) line, you need a Shelly Plus/Pro device or a BLU Gateway nearby. |
✅ Keep your own switches: Make your home smart without compromising the design of your switches. Everything works invisibly behind the scenes. |
⚠️ Please note the protocol: The different technologies (Wi-Fi, BLU, Z-Wave) don't work directly with each other. However, a hub like Home Assistant or Homey can bring these worlds together for you. |
