Shelly is proud of their devices being:

  • No hub neeeded
  • Not required to be online
  • Compatible all major hubs if you do want to connect them.

I do not work for Shelly. I just really like how I don’t have to use an app for them and they’re compatible with seemingly everything. I’ve bought the devices and I can do what I want with them.

I had owned two of their smart plugs for a couple of years and they decided to stop responding to resetting and could talk to them. Shelly support sent out two new plugs for me and asked for the defective ones back so they could troubleshoot them. Great service.

Just seems that privacy-centric people should be using privacy focused devices.

They are headquartered in Germany so very unlikely they’ll go back on their offline compatibility anytime soon.

    Shellys are amazing. We use the pucks everywhere for anything that’s not innately smart.

    Some of our use cases:

    • Kitchen cabinet lighting that syncs each strip with each other as well as the overhead lights. Or the cabinet lights can be turned on independently.
    • Garage door opener, because MyQ sucks (it’s hooked up to a real physical garage opener button and triggers the button for us)
    • Outlet power monitoring (mostly for fun)
    • Can be put in light switch boxes in lieu of something like Kasa switches, but the physical switch won’t follow the light state any more. Similarly, smart wall outlets for power toggling
