1 Mini Gen3 | WiFi Smart Switch Relay 1 Channel 8A | Home Automation | Bluetooth Gateway | Compatible with Alexa & Google Home | iOS Android App | No Hub Required | Dry Contacts

This wifi relay by far is the most awesome device I've come across for smart home automation. The Shelly gen3 1 Mini is extremely small and packs a serious punch. I bought this relay for a friend who tasked me with finding a way to control their rolling shutter system from their phone. This little device took me 10 minutes to install and then 5 minutes to configure. During the configuring time, I was also able to update the firmware. This thing just works! It's not complicated and for $11, I was able to meet my friend's request. These are perfect for dry contact setups like shutter systems and garage door openers. I highly recommend! What I liked: - Cheap - Small - Simple to install - Limitless possibilities What I disliked: - Nothing

... but I got so much more. Frustrated with the normal light timers limited timing features, I turned to one of these Shelly Mini G3 smart switches. It works great and has the timing feature of an individual offset from dawn that was missing from the non-smart timer switches. The manual is bit overwhelming, and it was missing the specific "wiring plan" I needed. Searching the web I didn't easily find the answer. A deep dive into a manual for one of their other products and I found the answer. The wiring I needed was two momentary switches connected directly to the device. While it describes one, it's not clear on how to add more. It's pretty simple, put them in parallel. But this should have been easier to find. I wasn't interested in cloud support and was a little worried I would be required to use it. Again, a detail that is hard to get clarity from any manuals. It's not required or needed for local access only. Once installed, I used the AP feature (Wi-Fi directly to the device, open a web browser). This allowed me to finish the setup and configure the timers all I wanted. It's nice its exposed Web UI did everything I wanted. I continued and joined it my house Wi-Fi and have it automatically set time from the google time services. Then I could access its exposed web interface with directly connecting to the device, just my Wi-Fi; and had it automatically updated its firmware. It did come with firmware that was a version behind. Not really a requirement, but I checked out their Shelly app on my Android phone. It worked great. There are a lot of bad reviews that were recent, so I was worried. I think the complexity of rooms and how to add devices was throwing these people off, but the model clicked with me, and I thought it was very functional and stabile. So, I then ordered three smart outlets to add to the mix; and I am happy. Makes remote control and management of timers all in one UI rather than each units Web UI. There are many other features I haven't even delved into yet, like actions. If the App quits being supported, I can always go back to the fully functional Web UI on each unit.

First of all, this is a really useful device. Very small so that you can install it inside an existing outlet-box and very easy to integrate into your HomeAssistant application (or just use their app!) My only complaint was that when I tried following the wiring "schematic" that was included with the device, it shows that your light/appliance connects to the Neutral wire (white, in the USA) from the "I" (input) screw. This never worked for me and I thought I just had a dud (bad Shelly). Actually, the "I" is for "input", not output or "neutral". (who would have guessed?) I found the correct wiring diagram on YouTube channel "The Hook Up". I created my own version with pictures of sample components (apologies for some rough lines!) and I'm attaching it to this review. I'm not a licensed electrician (and I don't think the guy from "The Hook Up" is either) so proceed at your own risk, but if you try and fail using the schematic that comes from Shelly, before you return the device or toss it in the trash, you might want to try this wiring...

Great WiFi Relays! You can control them from a web browser or a Raspberry Pi or other computer. I can't say enough great things about them. Very impressive internal program controls.

Bought these so I could add Cabinet lighting without trying to run wire across my kitchen. Flip a wall switch and both sets of lights come on. Work great. Will be buying more so I can schedule modem and router resets weekly. Sure I'll find a lot if uses for these.

I bought this based on a segment from This Old House. I have had issues installing a smart dimmer switch because they are so voluminous, that I was cramming it into the box. This is a great idea but still had issues cramming this small device behind a switch. The wiring instructions are made for a professional and I found some helpful diagrams on Reddit. My application was a simple outdoor light switch. I had to create 1 or 2 wire jumpers which meant that I needed to buy some heavy gauge electrical wire. It was scary popping the circut bereaker back on but it works perfectly. There is an app or you can incorporate with Google and other home automation platforms. I have mine set up for dusk and dawn on and off which continuously adjusts. After turning this light off and on manually for 20 years, I'm so happy that one stupid task is automated.

I have an extractor fan switch that I use to switch off the fan at night, due to noise. I wired this in and now I have a schedule setup to not let the fan come on at night. It’s small and easy to setup in the webpage and then the app, plus it looks like it does loads of other cool stuff.

Great product, many functions, just could do with a little better wifi range.

Relé inalámbrico de gran calidad. Lo he utilizado para automatizar el aviso del timbre de casa a través de Alexa y también para controlar equipos antiguos que no son inteligentes, como aires acondicionados. Su tamaño compacto permite instalarlo en espacios reducidos, y su integración con Alexa facilita la automatización de dispositivos no conectados previamente. Es una solución eficaz y versátil para mejorar la inteligencia en el hogar.

Is handig om te hebben, zoon is er blij mee.

Es excelente para automatizar lámparas que no son inteligentes, lo que más me gustó que se puede seguir usando el apagador instalado, aunque este no sea Smart y como plus es un tamaño realmente pequeño, lo que hace falta es instrucciones claras de instalación, pero buscando un poco en internet se puede, aunque si debería venir explicado por la marca, aún así es un buen producto
