Solutions/Implementations
Solution
Transform your studio apartment into a fully automated smart living space with Shelly Pro 4PM, Shelly BLU Wall Switch 4, and a centralized Shelly Wall Display.
Shelly Pro 4PM offers precise control and energy monitoring for up to four separate circuits, enabling efficient management of lighting and other appliances.
Shelly BLU Wall Switch 4 provides adaptive, wireless control with customizable buttons for activating lights, scenes, or routines like "Away Mode" or "Relax Mode."
The Shelly Wall Display serves as your central hub, offering real-time monitoring, seamless automation control, and an intuitive interface for managing your smart home.
With remote access, voice assistant compatibility, and advanced safety features, this solution combines efficiency, convenience, and personalization for a modern lifestyle.
Key features
Multi-Circuit Control - the combination of Shelly Pro 4PM and the integrated in the Shelly Wall Display relay provides the ability to control up to five individual electrical circuits.
Advanced scheduling and automation by scenes - create schedules for lighting circuits to align with daily routines. Set up scenes like "Morning Routine" or "Relax Mode" for one-tap or automated operation.
Enhanced automation with external sensors - future expansion is possible at later stage by adding other devices like Shelly BLU Motion, Shelly BLU Door/Window and etc.
Real-time power monitoring - track energy consumption for each circuit in real time.
Mobile and Remote Access - Shelly Smart Control app provides monitoring and control of devices from anywhere.
Compatibility with popular voice assistants - works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for intuitive voice commands
Integration with Smart Ecosystems - compatible with major platforms like Home Assistant, MQTT, and SmartThings.
Scale/Implementation
The solution is scalable for any studio apartment, managing up to five circuits - four with Shelly Pro 4PM and one additional with Shelly Wall Display. The Shelly BLU Wall Switch 4 adds customizable, wireless control, while the Shelly Wall Display centralizes operation and monitoring. Installation involves integrating the devices into the electrical system, configuring automation rules, and pairing them with the Shelly Smart Control app for seamless operation and future expandability.
