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.
