Shelly expands smart automation portfolio

Shelly expands smart automation portfolio

Shelly Group, a maker of smart home automation devices and IoT hardware, has expanded its portfolio of smart automation solutions with the launch of three new products designed to support key use cases across modern installations.

The latest additions focus on access control, lighting management, and simple upgrades for existing electrical systems – helping installers and integrators deliver smarter, more efficient environments.

The new products include the BLU Door/Window ZB sensor, featuring both Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity; the Dimmer 0/1–10V PM Gen4, enabling precise lighting control with integrated energy monitoring; and the Smart Light Bundle, developed in partnership with V-TAC.

The BLU Door/Window ZB sensor

The BLU Door/Window ZB is a compact, multi-functional sensor that combines a magnetic reed sensor with an integrated G-sensor, enabling highly accurate detection of doors and windows opening and closing.

In addition to contact sensing, the device measures ambient light levels and tilt angle, allowing for more advanced automations based on brightness or partially opened windows. This enables greater control and flexibility across a wide range of smart building scenarios.

The device supports both Bluetooth 5.0 and Zigbee connectivity. Bluetooth offers a range of up to 10 metres indoors and up to 30 metres outdoors (depending on environmental conditions), while Zigbee enables mesh networking for extended coverage and improved reliability.

Communication is secured using AES-128 encryption, and its energy-efficient design delivers up to five years of battery life under typical usage.

Designed for both residential and professional environments – including multi-dwelling units (MDUs), hotels, and office spaces – the BLU Door/Window ZB supports centralised access monitoring and automation.

In practice, the sensor can trigger a range of smart actions, such as turning off heating when a window is opened, activating lighting upon entry, or sending alerts in the event of unexpected access.

When operating via Bluetooth, a gateway is required for remote access and cloud integration. This functionality is supported by a wide range of Shelly devices, including those from the Plus, Gen3, and Gen4 series.

Alternatively, Zigbee connectivity allows seamless integration with existing Zigbee hubs across many smart home platforms.

The Dimmer 0/1-10V PM Gen4 lighting controller

Dimmer 0/1-10V PM Gen4 is an intelligent lighting controller designed for compatibility with both 0–10V and 1–10V drivers, making it suitable for a wide range of LED luminaires, LED strips, as well as motor control and ventilation applications.

Powered by the ESP32-C6 processor, the device supports multi-protocol connectivity – including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, Zigbee, and Matter – enabling seamless integration into smart home and building automation systems, often without the need for an additional gateway.

Alongside smooth and precise dimming, the device features built-in, real-time power monitoring, measuring voltage, current, and energy consumption to support improved energy efficiency and cost control.

The Dimmer 0/1–10V PM Gen4 can be operated using existing wall switches (single or double button), while also supporting advanced functionality such as schedules, scenes, scripting, and Night Mode – automatically reducing lighting levels during predefined hours.

With support for KNXnet/IP, the device can be integrated into professional building management systems across offices, hotels, and retail environments. Combined with local control capabilities and compatibility with Matter ecosystems, it ensures reliable operation even without an internet connection – an important advantage for scalable, resilient automation systems.

The Smart Light Bundle

The Smart Light Bundle offers an accessible entry point into smart lighting, providing a simple, effective way to transform standard lighting into an intelligent system.

Developed in partnership with V-TAC, the kit includes three A60 LED bulbs (4000K) and the compact Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 relay. The relay enables smart control of existing lighting circuits, adding connectivity and automation without the need to replace full installations.

Supporting loads of up to 8A (240V AC) / 5A (30V DC), the Shelly 1 Mini Gen4 operates via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with Matter compatibility enabling seamless integration across major smart home ecosystems – all without requiring an additional hub in many setups.

Using the Shelly Smart Control app, users can create schedules, scenes, and automations, as well as control lighting remotely or via voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home.

Suitable both as a first step into smart home technology and as an easy extension to existing systems, the bundle combines affordability, flexibility, and quick installation.

All products available now

More broadly, these latest solutions from Shelly Group are designed with real-world applications in mind, from automatically switching off heating when a window is opened, to intelligent lighting based on time of day, through to centralised lighting control across offices, hotels, and commercial spaces.

With multi-protocol connectivity spanning Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter, the products can be easily integrated into both existing smart home environments and new installations, typically without the need for major infrastructure changes or additional hubs.

All products are available in the UK and Ireland on Shelly’s website, as well as via authorised resellers (a full list of which can be found here).
