Shelly 1 Mini Gen3 | WiFi Smart Relay (1 Channel, 8A)

Imagine turning your old switch into a smart one without replacing it – simply mount this mini relay behind it, and boom, control it via app or voice. That’s the Shelly 1 Mini Gen3! With dry contact (potential-free), you can switch up to 8A / 2000 Watts at 230V or 5A / 150 Watts at 30V, including low-voltage options like 5V or 12V DC for projects like LED strips or sensors. Note: This device requires a neutral wire (blue wire) for its power supply, which isn’t always available in switch boxes in older installations. If so, mount it behind the light source – it automatically makes your existing switch smart, and it’s small enough (29x34x16 mm) to fit there without any hassle.

Why this is a must-have for your smart home:

• Bluetooth-ready for setup and more: Pair it to the Shelly app in seconds via Bluetooth. No hub required – it's standalone Wi-Fi, but as an added feature, it also acts as a Bluetooth proxy in Home Assistant: it scans nearby BLE devices (like sensors) and relays data to your HA server for extended coverage in larger homes, without dedicated proxy hardware.
• Top-notch compatibility: Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and more. For Home Assistant enthusiasts, the official integration is fantastic—discover entities for switching, monitoring, and automation via MQTT. I tested it in my own setup: rock-solid, no cloud dependencies when running locally.
• Energy-efficient beast: Consumes <1W, with a lifespan that will leave your old relays in the dust. Save on installation and energy – installation is a breeze, as long as you keep the neutral wire requirement in mind.
