Shelly Mobile Application for Shelly Plus 1

Introduction

This user guide is subjective to adjustments. For the latest version, please visit: shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/shelly-plus-1/.

Shelly devices can be controlled and managed directly on the local network or by using the Shelly cloud service accessible via the Internet.

Download the Shelly Cloud Application by scanning the QR code above, or access the devices through the Embedded web interface, explained further down in the user guide.

Shelly devices are compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home supported functionalities, as well as other home automation platforms and voice assistants. See details at shelly.cloud/compatibility/.

Registration

The first time you load the Shelly Cloud mobile app, you have to create an account which can manage all your Shelly devices. You need to use an actual e-mail because that e-mail will be used in case of a forgotten password!

Forgotten Password

In case you forget or lose your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the login screen and type the e-mail you used in your registration. You will receive an e-mail with a link to a page where you can reset your password. The link is unique and can be used only once.

ATTENTION! If you are unable to reset your password, you have to reset your device (as explained in "Device Inclusion" section, Step 1).

First steps

After registering, create your first room (or rooms), where you are going to add and use your Shelly devices. Shelly Cloud allows you to create scenes for automatic control of devices at predefined hours or based on other parameters like temperature, humidity, light, etc. (with available sensors in Shelly Cloud).

Shelly Cloud allows easy control and monitoring using a mobile phone, tablet, or PC. Shelly Plus 1 can be grouped with other devices in the application. It can also be set to trigger actions on other Shelly devices by set parameters. We also allow setting parameters for lights, scripting, etc, which are not a simple ON/OFF.

Device Inclusion

Step 1

When the installation of Shelly is done and the power is turned on, Shelly will create its own Wi-Fi Access Point (AP).

WARNING! In case the device has not created its own AP Wi-Fi network with SSID like ShellyPlus1-f008d1d8bd68, please check if the device is connected according to the Installation Instructions. If you still do not see an active Wi-Fi network with SSID like ShellyPlus1-f008d1d8bd68, or you want to add the device to another Wi-Fi network, reset the device. If the device has been powered on, you have to restart it by powering it off and then again on. After that you have one minute to press 5 consecutive times the button/switch connected to the SW terminal. You should hear the relay trigger itself. After the trigger sound, Shelly Plus 1 will return to AP mode. If not, please repeat or contact our customer support at: support@shelly.cloud.

Step 2

Please keep in mind that Shelly devices inclusion is different on iOS and Android devices.

1. iOS inclusion - Open the settings menu on your iOS device > "Add device" and connect to the Wi-Fi network created by your Shelly device, i.e. ShellyPlus1-f008d1d8bd68 (fig. 1). Open your Shelly App again and type in your home Wi-Fi credentials (fig. 2). After clicking "Next", a menu will open allowing you to choose the device which you want to include, or include any found in the network. Shelly Plus is equipped with Bluetooth and the last option in the menu allows you to "Search by Bluetooth", allowing for a quicker inclusion.
2. Android inclusion - From the hamburger menu on the main screen of your Shelly App choose "Add device". Then choose your home network and type in your password (fig. 3). After that, pick the Shelly device you want to include. The name of the device will be similar to: ShellyPlus1-f008d1d8bd68 (fig. 4). Shelly Plus 1 is equipped with Bluetooth and a small Bluetooth icon will be available next to it, allowing for inclusion using Bluetooth.
