As summer weather changes, your home can stay one step ahead. With the right Shelly automations, sunshine, rain, and storms become opportunities for smarter shading, more efficient irrigation, and greater everyday comfort.
When temperatures fluctuate throughout the day, there's no need for portable cooling devices to run continuously. Combine Shelly Plug M Gen3 with Shelly BLU H&T ZB to automatically power a fan or portable air cooler only when indoor temperatures exceed your preferred threshold. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, Shelly switches the device off to avoid unnecessary energy use.
Large south- and west-facing windows can quickly overheat your home on sunny afternoons. Pair Shelly 2PM Gen4 with Shelly BLU H&T ZB and use the Weather API in the Shelly Smart Control app to create an automation that lowers motorized shutters when indoor temperatures rise and sunny conditions are expected. Once the room cools down, the shutters reopen automatically to let natural daylight back in.
Fixed watering schedules can waste water when August weather shifts between dry spells and sudden rain. Set the FrankEver Sprinkler Controller FK-06X to manage up to six irrigation zones, then use the Weather API in the Shelly Smart Control app to shorten or skip watering when rain is expected. During hotter, drier periods, you can extend individual cycles remotely to match your garden’s needs.
Summer storms can bring sudden voltage fluctuations that may affect sensitive appliances and connected equipment. Use Shelly Pro 4CB to detect abnormal voltage conditions and create an automation in the Shelly Smart Control app that switches off selected loads through Shelly Pro 4PM. Once voltage returns to a safe range, the circuits can remain off until you review their status and restore them remotely.
