About Shelly Pro LoRa Add-on

To use the Shelly Pro LoRa Add-on, you must first attach it to another Shelly Pro device that will act as a host. For more information about the compatible Shelly devices, go to the Knowledge Base Add-ons page.

Add-on peripherals

After the Pro LoRa Add-on device is directly attached to the Shelly host device, you can enable the LoRa connectivity in your Shelly Smart Control application by using the Add-on peripherals tab of the host. You can also use the tab to view LoRa status parameters and control the view of the peripheral add-on device.
