Product Description
The Shelly 1 Gen4 is a Matter-compatible smart switch featuring potential-free contacts. It is equipped with a multi-protocol wireless MCU, supporting secure Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity. The Device operates on both AC and DC power. Its compact size allows for installation in standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets, light switches, or in other space-constrained locations.
The Device includes an embedded web interface for monitoring, control, and settings adjustment. This interface is accessible via http://192.168.33.1 when directly connected to the Device's access point, or via its IP address when on the same network.
The Device can integrate with other smart devices or automation systems within the same network infrastructure. Shelly Europe Ltd. provides APIs for device integration and cloud control. For more information, visit shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud.
Note: The Device comes with factory-installed firmware. Shelly Europe Ltd. provides free firmware updates to maintain security and functionality. Users are responsible for installing these updates via the web interface or the Shelly Smart Control mobile application.
Installation Instructions
Recommendations:
- Use solid single-core wires or stranded wires with ferrules.
- 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.
- Consider specified conductor cross-section and stripped length when connecting wires. Do not connect multiple wires to a single terminal.
- For security, disable or password-protect the Device's Access Point (AP) after connecting to your Wi-Fi network.
Enabling Access Point & Bluetooth: Press and hold the Reset/control button for 5 seconds.
Factory Reset: Press and hold the Reset/control button for 10 seconds.
Wiring Diagrams
Connect the load circuit to the I and O terminals of the Device.
Figure 1: 110-240 V~ Power Supply
Connect the Live wire (L) to the L terminal and the Neutral wire (N) to the N terminal. Connect the switch to the SW terminal and the Live wire.
Figure 2: 24-48 V⎓ Power Supply
Note: Voltage on I and O terminals 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.
Figure 3: 12 V⎓ Stabilized Power Supply
Complete the steps for Figure 2. Connect the 12V+ wire to the 12V terminal instead of the + terminal.
