Short description
Shelly Plug CN Gen3 is a Wi‑Fi smart plug built for the Chinese standard Type I outlet, designed to make everyday appliances smarter and easier to manage. It adds remote control and built-in power metering in a compact plug-in format.
Use it to automate plugged-in devices with schedules, local actions, and timer-based shutoff, so appliances run only when needed. This helps reduce energy waste and lowers the risk of leaving devices on by mistake.
It supports Matter for seamless use alongside other Matter devices, including Apple ecosystems via Matter. It also connects over Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 and integrates with Shelly Cloud, Home Assistant, and other popular home automation platforms.
Main features
-
Chinese standard plug Type I form factor
-
Matter support for interoperability with other Matter devices
-
Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity
-
Built-in power metering for monitoring plugged-in appliance consumption
-
Locally stored schedules for reliable time-based automation
-
Local actions for on-device automations without relying on the cloud
-
Scripting for advanced automations when Matter is not enabled
-
BLE gateway functionality to support Bluetooth-based setups
Use cases
-
Use it as a Matter smart plug in mixed-brand automations, where a single Matter scene controls multiple devices at once. For example, a “Good Night” scene can switch off the plug’s output automatically using Matter support, helping ensure appliances are not left running overnight.
-
Prevent forgotten appliances by setting a countdown timer that turns the plug off automatically after a set period. This uses the countdown timer and locally stored schedules to reduce the chance of leaving devices like irons or heaters on for too long.
-
Cut office energy waste by scheduling automatic shutdown outside working hours, such as evenings and weekends. With schedules and power metering, you can both enforce the off-hours rule and track the impact on consumption over time.
-
Reduce standby draw by switching devices off when their power use drops after finishing a task. Using power metering as the condition and local actions as the response, the plug can cut power automatically once a device is effectively idle.
-
Build quick, room-level automations by using the plug’s BLE gateway capability to react to Bluetooth-based triggers. For instance, a Bluetooth trigger can turn a plugged-in lamp or appliance on/off automatically, keeping control responsive while staying within your local setup.
