Short description

Shelly i4 Gen3 is a smart Wi-Fi switch input that allows you to manually activate or deactivate any created scene, run synchronized actions, or execute complex trigger scenarios. You can use Shelly i4 Gen3 to control other connected Shelly switches, sensors, or HTTP and MQTT-controlled devices. Small enough to fit behind every wall switch, Shelly i4 Gen3 can show the status and control the action of four inputs. The device also has improved processor and increased memory compared to its predecessor.

You can access and monitor Shelly i4 Gen3 remotely from any place where you have internet connectivity, if the Device is connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Internet.

You can retrofit the Device into standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets, light switches, or into other places with limited space.

Shelly i4 Gen3 has an embedded Web Interface that you can use to control it and set it up.

Main features

  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: The device can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to remotely monitor humidity and temperature data through a smartphone app or other compatible devices.

  • Integration with Smart Home Platforms: You can integrate the Shelly i4 Gen3 with popular smart home platforms, including Google, Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. This enables voice control and automation capabilities through these platforms.

  • Local and Cloud Control: Can function independently in a local Wi-Fi network and can also be operated through cloud home automation services.

  • Bluetooth Connectivity: Bluetooth and BLE gateway are available for inclusion purposes, which may be useful during the setup process.

  • User-Friendly Interface: The device provides a user-friendly interface with a reset button for manual interactions.

  • Improved Processor and Memory: Upgraded with an improved processor and increased memory for enhanced performance.

  • Embedded Web Interface: Features an embedded web interface for monitoring, control, and adjustment of settings.

  • Wireless Connectivity: The device supports Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.2 protocols with specified indoor and outdoor range capabilities.

  • BLE Gateway: Bridge between your Shelly BLU devices and the wider Shelly ecosystem. It receives Bluetooth signals and sends them to the cloud or locally to another non-bluetooth device.

  • Wi-Fi Range extender for IoT devices: A Wi-Fi extender is employed to expand the reach of your Wi-Fi network by receiving your current Wi-Fi signal, enhancing its strength, and then transmitting the enhanced signal over a wider area.

  • Scripting: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/Scripts/ShellyScriptLanguageFeatures/
