Open Smart Automation & Energy Intelligence for Installers

Published: 17 March 2026 Category: On-demand

Explore Shelly’s multi-protocol ecosystem, broad integration capabilities and professional energy solutions — built for modern installers.

Open Smart Automation & Energy Intelligence for Installers

Smart home and building automation projects now demand flexibility, interoperability and energy transparency.

Installers are expected to deliver systems that integrate seamlessly, support renewable energy and remain future-proof — without ecosystem lock-in.

Shelly delivers an open smart automation platform engineered for professional deployment.

Multi-Protocol Flexibility

Shelly’s portfolio includes devices supporting:

  • Wi-Fi

  • Zigbee

  • Bluetooth

  • Matter (on supported devices)

  • Dedicated Shelly Z-Wave line

This enables installers to select the appropriate communication standard per project — whether retrofit, new build, residential or light commercial.

No mandatory hubs.

Full local control capability.

No proprietary lock-in.

Open Integration Architecture

Shelly devices are built around open standards including:

  • MQTT

  • HTTP

  • REST API

  • Webhooks

  • Local control

  • Modbus TCP (Shelly Pro series)

  • Open API for custom integrations

This enables integration across a wide range of automation platforms and professional control environments, including:

  • Home Assistant

  • KNX systems (via IP integration)

  • Loxone

  • OpenHAB

  • Node-RED

  • Homey

  • Samsung SmartThings

  • Control4

  • Crestron

  • Commercial BMS platforms via Modbus TCP/IP

Shelly devices can operate independently or integrate into structured control systems, extending existing installations rather than replacing them.

Professional Energy Intelligence

Shelly is widely recognised for advanced energy monitoring and measurement solutions.

Our professional energy meters support:

  • Real-time consumption monitoring

  • Photovoltaic (PV) production measurement

  • Grid export tracking

  • Load balancing and optimisation

  • Sub-metering for commercial applications

This makes Shelly particularly relevant for:

  • Solar installers

  • Energy-aware residential projects

  • Smart tariff optimisation

  • Light commercial load monitoring

Control and energy insight — within a single ecosystem.

Engineered for Reliability

Shelly products are designed for long-term professional use:

  • 5-year warranty on Shelly Pro and EM devices

  • 3-year warranty on Gen3 and Gen4 devices

This extended warranty commitment reflects Shelly’s confidence in product quality and reduces long-term installation risk.

Built for the Trade

Professional installers benefit from:

  • Dedicated Shelly Installer Portal

  • Technical documentation and integration resources

  • Project support

  • 10% Cashback Programme on eligible purchases

Designed to reward professional adoption and improve project margin.
