Why Shelly BLU Gateway?
- No Device Left Behind: The Bridge to Limitless Integration – Enter a new era of seamless connectivity with the Shelly BLU Gateway. Typically, Bluetooth devices require a Bluetooth gateway, such as a Plus or Pro device. But if you want to use Shelly BLU devices with your Gen-1 Shelly relays (Shelly Dinmer, Shelly RGBW2, etc.), the Shelly BLU Gateway is the solution! This compact dongle revolutionizes your setup without the need to connect additional relays – simply plug it into an adapter. It bridges the gap between your Shelly BLU devices and the wider Shelly ecosystem by capturing Bluetooth signals and transmitting them to the cloud or locally to other non-Bluetooth devices.
Features:
- Wi-Fi Powered - Connect the Shelly BLU Gateway to your Wi-Fi network! No hub required!
- Bluetooth - Quick integration via Bluetooth or use as a Bluetooth gateway.
- Wireless: Simply connect the device to a USB Type-A adapter and a power outlet.
- Scripting - Send information locally and perform custom actions.
Application examples:
- Connect your smart devices, cloud-based or local – the Shelly BLU Gateway is a small USB dongle that acts as a gateway between Shelly BLU devices and the Shelly Cloud. If you want to use Shelly Gen-1 devices with Shelly BLU sensors, the Shelly BLU Gateway can act as a gateway to the Shelly Cloud and thus to your existing Gen-1 devices. This way, you don't have to upgrade to Shelly Plus or Pro devices. But the Shelly BLU Gateway isn't limited to cloud connections! It enables local control with instant response via scripting.
- Expand your smart ecosystem – Want to ensure seamless data transfer from your Bluetooth devices to various home automation platforms? The Shelly BLU Gateway provides a reliable and efficient communication channel via the MQTT protocol. This allows you to expand your existing smart ecosystem with devices and platforms of your choice.
- Extend your existing Wi-Fi range – In many homes, a single router is too weak to generate a stable signal that reaches every room, resulting in dead zones and poor connections. With the Shelly BLU Gateway, you can extend your signal up to 30 meters indoors and up to 50 meters outdoors. Simply connect a gateway within range of your router and connect it to your network. This creates a seamless connection, giving you extensive Wi-Fi coverage within your existing setup.
Smart home control at its best:
- Shelly Smart Control – An app that lets you manage your rooms, energy consumption, and expenses. Personalize your dashboards, receive detailed consumption reports, and track your energy bill.
- Full compatibility – Shelly devices are compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Android, and iOS. Thanks to the voice assistant, you can control Shelly devices with your voice!
