Product description
Shelly 1 Gen4 is a Matter-compatible smart switch with potential-free contacts. Equipped with a multi-protocol wireless MCU, it supports Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity for a secure connection. The Device operates on both AC and DC
power. Its small form factor allows retrofitting into standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets, light switches, or other places with limited space.
The Device has an embedded web interface to monitor, control, and adjust its settings. The web interface is accessible at http://192.168.33.1 when connected directly to the Device access point or at its IP address when accessed from the
same network. The Device can access and interact with other smart devices or automation systems if they are in the same network infrastructure. Shelly Europe Ltd. provides APIs for the devices, their integration, and cloud control. For more information, visit https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud.
The Device comes with factory-installed firmware. To keep it updated and secure, Shelly Europe Ltd. provides the latest firmware updates free of charge. Access the updates through either the embedded web interface or the Shelly Smart Control mobile application. The installation of firmware updates is the user’s responsibility. Shelly Europe Ltd. shall not be liable for any lack of conformity of the Device caused by the failure of the user to install the available updates promptly.
Installation instructions
- To connect the Device, we recommend using solid single-core wires or stranded wires with ferrules. The wires should have insulation with increased heat resistance, not less than PVC T105°C (221°F).
- Do not use buttons or switches with built-in LED or neon glow lamps.
- When connecting wires to the Device terminals, consider the specified conductor cross section and stripped length. Do not connect multiple wires into a single terminal.
- For security reasons, after you successfully connect the Device to the local Wi-Fi network, we recommend that you disable or password-protect the Device AP (Access Point).
- To enable the access point and the Bluetooth connection of the Device, press and hold the Reset/control button for 5 seconds.
- To perform a factory reset of the Device, press and hold the Reset/control button for 10 seconds.
- Connect the load circuit to the I and O terminals of the Device.
If you are using a 110-240 V~ power supply (Fig. 1)
- Connect the Live wire to the L terminal and the Neutral wire to the N terminal.
- Connect the switch to the SW terminal of the Device and the Live wire.
If you are using a 24-48 V⎓ power supply (Fig. 2)
The voltage on the I and O terminals of the Device should not exceed 30 V⎓.
- Connect the DC+ wire to the + terminal and the GND wire to the Ʇ terminal.
- Connect the switch to the SW terminal and the GND wire. If you are using a stabilized 12V⎓ power supply (Fig. 3):
- Complete the previous two steps.
- Instead of connecting the 12V+ to the + terminal, connect it to the 12V terminal.
Adding Zigbee Device
