Shelly Pro EM-50
Device identification
Device name: Shelly Pro EM-50
Device model: SPEM-002CEBEU50
Device SSID: ShellyProEM50-XXXXXX
Short description
Shelly Pro EM-50 (The Device) is a DIN rail mountable two-channel, single-phase energy meter. Enhanced with all the gen2 firmware flexibility and LAN connectivity, it provides professional integrators with additional options for end-customer solutions. It can work standalone in a local LAN and/or Wi-Fi network, or it can also be operated through cloud home automation services through MQTT, HTTP, and WebSocket. All inbound connections support TLS.
The Device reports accumulated energy as well as instantaneous voltage, current, active, and apparent power per phase in real time. It stores data in non-volatile memory that can be retrieved for a period of up to 60 days in 1-minute intervals.
The Device has a real-time clock to keep the correct time if the connection to an SNTP server is lost.
Shelly Pro EM-50 can be accessed, set up, and monitored remotely by the User, as well as the Device can access and communicate with an automation system, as long as they are in the same network infrastructure.
The Device has an embedded Web Interface which can be used to monitor and control the device, as well as adjust its settings.
The Device has a built-in relay for contactor control.

Outputs
LED indication
Power: Red light if the power supply is connected.
Wi-Fi (varies):
Blue light if in AP mode.
Red light if in STA mode, and not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Yellow light if in STA mode, and connected to a Wi-Fi network. Not connected to Shelly Cloud or Shelly Cloud disabled.
Green light if in STA mode, and connected to a Wi-Fi network and the Shelly Cloud.
The LED will be flashing Red/Blue if OTA update is in progress.
LAN: Green light if LAN is connected.
Out: Red light if the output relay contact is closed.
Count: Red light will be flashing when the Device is measuring energy according to settings with frequency dependent on the energy flowing through the measured circuit.
