Integration Guide
Shelly & Home Assistant
A Smarter Way to Build
Your Smart Home
For Home Assistant users, Shelly is one of the most practical ways to build a smarter, more flexible home setup. The integration is easy to work with, devices are auto-discovered, communication happens locally, and support covers all four Shelly generations. That means you can bring devices into Home Assistant quickly and start building automations without depending on the cloud.

All 4 generations

Remote Control
What makes Shelly especially useful in Home Assistant is not just remote control. It is the combination of reliable hardware, retrofit-friendly installation, broad protocol support, and the ability to connect multiple devices into one logic flow.
Instead of managing separate products one by one, Home Assistant gives users a single place to control lighting, shading, appliances, and energy monitoring — while Shelly provides the devices that make those automations possible.
You are not buying a device only for one function. A relay, meter, or sensor can become part of a bigger automation that reacts to real conditions in the home.
What You Can Automate
Automate blinds based on sunlight
Control electrical loads
Track energy consumption in real time
Trigger actions based on temperature, light, humidity, or schedules
Manage all of the above from one Home Assistant dashboard
What Shelly Makes
Shelly creates four main categories of devices. All of them can be integrated into Home Assistant the same way.
| Category | Products & Examples |
|---|---|
| Relays | Wire-in relays for controlling circuits — garage doors, lights, Shelly 1, 1PM, 2PM |
| Plug & Play | Smart plugs (Shelly Plug S), power outlets, smart bulbs |
| Sensors | Humidity, flood, door/window, gas (Shelly CNG), smoke, temperature |
| Accessories | Shelly Button, power supplies, temperature add-ons, current transformers |
Real-World Automations
Instead of fixed schedules, the home responds to what is actually happening in the room. Here are two strong examples of what this looks like in practice.
Comfort
Spring Comfort Routine
Shelly devices react to real room conditions — not a fixed schedule.
- Blinds close on strong afternoon sun
- Ventilation switches on when room gets stuffy
- Lighting adjusts when daylight is sufficient
Energy
Energy-Aware Automation
With Shelly EM Mini Gen4, monitoring becomes actionable, not just informational.
- Send alerts when consumption spikes
- Identify inefficient devices
- Trigger relay when load runs too long
Why Shelly Stands Out for Home Assistant Users
The integration is easy to work with from day one — devices are auto-discovered, communication happens locally, and support covers all four Shelly generations.
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Instant auto-discovery | Devices appear in Home Assistant automatically — no manual setup or config files |
| Purely local control | Communication stays on your network. Faster, private, works without the internet |
| All 4 generations | Every Shelly device from Gen 1 to Gen 4 is supported in the same integration |
| Single dashboard | Control lighting, shading, appliances, and energy from one place in Home Assistant |
| Broad protocol support | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Matter — fits into whatever infrastructure you have built |
Broad Protocol Support
Shelly devices speak multiple protocols, fitting into whatever infrastructure you have already built and growing with your system over time.
Wi-Fi
Direct connection, no hub required
Bluetooth
Low-energy local pairing
Matter
Next-gen interoperability standard
The Real Advantage of Shelly
Easy integration, local control, and devices that fit naturally into more advanced automations as the system grows.
Whether the goal is comfort, efficiency, or better control, Shelly gives Home Assistant users a practical foundation for building a smarter home. You are not locked into one use case — every relay, meter, or sensor you add becomes part of a larger, more intelligent system that responds to real conditions in your home.
