Installation instructions
Plug the Device into a standard USB-A port.
The LED should turn blue, indicating the Device is powered and is in access point (AP) mode.
Shelly Cloud inclusion
The Device can be monitored, controlled, and set up through our Shelly Cloud home automation service. You can use the service through either our Android, iOS, or Harmony OS mobile application or through any internet browser at https://control.shelly.cloud/.
If you choose to use the Device with the application and Shelly Cloud service, you can find instructions on how to connect the Device to the Cloud and control it from the Shelly app in the application guide: https://shelly.link/appguide.
The Shelly mobile application and Shelly Cloud service are not conditions for the Device to function properly. This Device can be used standalone or with various other home automation platforms.
Local use
If you want to use the Device locally, connect to its AP (SSID: ShellyBluGwG3-xxxxxxxxxxxx) using a Wi-Fi enabled device and type http://192.168.33.1 in your browser to access the Device embedded Web Interface.
Click on the Wi-Fi icon at the top to go to the Device Wi-Fi settings. Connect the Device to a local Wi-Fi network. We recommend setting a static IP address. Check the Device Web Interface Guide for a detailed description at https://shelly.link/blugwg3_wig.
Click on the Bluetooth icon at the top to go to the Device Bluetooth settings. Select the Enable checkbox and save the settings.
All paired Shelly BLE devices will appear as BT Home components on the home page of the Device web interface.
Alternatively, you can use scripts to detect BLE devices that comply with the BT Home protocol, read their transmission, and, based on the received data, control other smart devices connected to the same network.
Pairing with BLE devices
If you bought the Device separately or you want to pair it with additional BLE devices, follow the instructions below:
If you bought the Device bundled with Shelly BLE devices, they come factory pre-paired, so no additional setup is required.
- Press the Pair button on the Device.
- Set the BLE device you want to pair to the Shelly BLU Gateway Gen3.
You can achieve this by either pressing and holding the button on the BLE device for 10 seconds or selecting the option from the Shelly BLU TRV menu using its knob.
