Shelly 1 Mini Gen3 | WiFi Smart Switch Relay 1 Channel 8A | Home Automation | Bluetooth Gateway | Compatible with Alexa & Google Home | iOS Android App | No Hub Required | Dry Contacts

This little Shelly 1 Mini was exactly what I needed to smart-ify my kitchen light! Installation was a bit tricky with my neutral wire being at the ceiling fixture, but after consulting some wiring diagrams online, I got it working perfectly.The real gem is its compatibility - I successfully flashed Tasmota firmware and integrated it with Home Assistant for full local control.The device is tiny but mighty, handling my kitchen light with no issues. For anyone into home automation who knows their way around basic wiring, this is a fantastic option to convert "dumb" switches into smart ones. Just make sure you're comfortable with electrical work or consult a professional.Bonus points for not requiring any proprietary hub and working with multiple platforms. Perfect for DIY smart home projects!

Home Assistant found it automatically once the relay was connected to wifi. It wasn't even necessary to manually add the Integration. I've been testing it for a few hours and it works flawlessly. It's also can be controlled by the built in web interface and that interface has lots of options.No worries about shorting wires (despite what other reviewers have said) when wire is trimmed so there is no bare copper visible between the connector and insulation. 8 amps is plenty of capacity for almost any ceiling fixture, but it's not a good idea to control a wall outlet with this relay.

... but I got so much more.Frustrated with the normal light timers limited timing features, I turned to one of these Shelly Mini G3 smart switches. It works great and has the timing feature of an individual offset from dawn that was missing from the non-smart timer switches.The manual is bit overwhelming, and it was missing the specific "wiring plan" I needed. Searching the web I didn't easily find the answer. A deep dive into a manual for one of their other products and I found the answer. The wiring I needed was two momentary switches connected directly to the device. While it describes one, it's not clear on how to add more. It's pretty simple, put them in parallel. But this should have been easier to find.I wasn't interested in cloud support and was a little worried I would be required to use it. Again, a detail that is hard to get clarity from any manuals. It's not required or needed for local access only.Once installed, I used the AP feature (Wi-Fi directly to the device, open a web browser). This allowed me to finish the setup and configure the timers all I wanted. It's nice its exposed Web UI did everything I wanted. I continued and joined it my house Wi-Fi and have it automatically set time from the google time services.Then I could access its exposed web interface with directly connecting to the device, just my Wi-Fi; and had it automatically updated its firmware. It did come with firmware that was a version behind.Not really a requirement, but I checked out their Shelly app on my Android phone. It worked great. There are a lot of bad reviews that were recent, so I was worried. I think the complexity of rooms and how to add devices was throwing these people off, but the model clicked with me, and I thought it was very functional and stabile. So, I then ordered three smart outlets to add to the mix; and I am happy. Makes remote control and management of timers all in one UI rather than each units Web UI.There are many other features I haven't even delved into yet, like actions.If the App quits being supported, I can always go back to the fully functional Web UI on each unit.

These are pretty ingenious little items. We hooked them into photoelectric sensors to alert us when the beam was crossed. These actually fit inside the sensor, which made installation very easy. Set up a web request from the device to alert us if the beam was crossed. Very cool.

I bought two Shelly's! I put one on my pool light so it would come on every night for 4 hours to keep condensation out. I also put one on my outside house lights. They are dawn to dusk, but I don't want them on all the time so I set them to come on when I leave the house for work and turn off 30 minutes later. Also, if we get home late, I can just get on the app and turn them on before we get home. Great price and the handiest little things! My husband installed them himself. You down load the app and you have several options for use.

Works as it should! I don't understand why it needs two hot connections, and is not internally bridged. Zero issues connecting to WiFi without the app (zero app needed! Simply connect to its wifi and navigate to the gateway address to control), and quickly picked up by Home assistant.Responds quickly to HomeAssitant. Using it to control a normal LED-floodlight, using the Cameras as a source of motion to trigger lights. Planning on using more to sync more lights soon!Minus a star for requiring two voltage inputs.

The media could not be loaded. I almost returned this device because my original plan was for a 12 volt device and the mini doesnt accommodate DC. However I decided to use for something else and it did not disappoint. The Shelly mini fit nicely in a single gang box. The set up for this project is unique. I had 4 square box with a single switch on one side of the door and a single gang switch box on the other that no longer used but it was connected to the inside switch. Knowing that the 4 square box was pretty full, I was able to utilize the empty box to store the Shelly and make up my connections. The programming worked well too, I'm still learning all the nuances but for now it works as it should.
