OZZI user guide
Once the device is installed and connected to power, add it to the Shelly Smart Control app so you can control it from anywhere. This OZZI guide explains how to add a new device to your smart home in a few minutes, whether it’s a smart energy meter, smart switches, a plug or a bulb.
Installing a device in the electrical panel or behind a wall switch must be done by a licensed electrician. This guide starts from the point where the device is connected to power.
1. Before you start
A few quick preparations that prevent connection problems.
1
Download Shelly Smart Control from the App Store or Google Play, and sign up or sign in to your account.
2
Turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on your phone, and make sure your home network is 2.4 GHz.
3
Stand close to the device and have your network name and password ready.
4
Add a room in the app for the device: on the “All Rooms” tab, tap the “+” button next to “Rooms”.
5
On the “Add Room” screen, type a “Room Name” (for example “Electrical panel” or “Living room”), choose a picture and tap “Save”.
Important: a device that isn’t assigned to a room goes to “Hidden Devices” and doesn’t appear on the home screen.
So create the room first, and assign the device to it at the end of the setup.
2. Adding the device to the app
Works for all Shelly devices.
6
Go back to the home screen and tap the “+” button in the corner of the bottom menu.
7
On the “Add Device” screen, choose an inclusion method and tap “Next”: “Add via Bluetooth” for Gen2 and newer devices, or “Add via Wi-Fi (AP Scan)” for Gen1 devices.
8
Select the device from the list and tap “Next”. If it doesn’t appear, tap “Scan Again”.
9
Select your home Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
If you see the “Can’t include your Shelly device?” screen, check that the network name and password are correct (including capital letters and special characters, without autofill) and that the network is 2.4 GHz, then tap “Try Again”.
10
Give the device a name, choose the room you created in steps 4 and 5 and finish. Don’t skip choosing the room.
That’s it. The device is connected and appears on the home screen, inside the room you chose. If it doesn’t appear on the home screen, check “Hidden Devices” and assign it to a room. If it still isn’t in the list after “Scan Again”, reset it using the reset and reconnect guide.
3. After connecting
A new device sometimes ships with older firmware.
Optional
If the update icon appears next to the device
Update the firmware: see the firmware update guide.
4. Connecting to a wall light switch? Choose "Edge"
For Shelly 1PM, 1PM Mini and 2PM (Gen3 and Gen4) connected to a regular wall light switch.
Why "Edge"? Because that way the switch and the app work together.
In "Edge" mode, every press of the switch toggles the light, whichever position it is in. Turned it off from the app? One press of the switch turns it back on. In "Follow" mode the light follows the switch position, so after using the app you sometimes have to press it twice.
On the main screen, open the device and tap the settings icon (the gear) at the bottom of the icon bar on the side of the screen.
Open "Input/Output settings", and under the input mode (button/switch) choose "Switch".
Under the relay type, choose "Edge" ("Flip on every change") and tap "Save". On a 2PM connected to two lights, repeat this for each of the two channels.
Do you have a push button (it springs back, like a doorbell) on the wall instead of a switch? Choose "Button" instead of "Switch".
Connecting to the app is the first step in a smart home: controlling smart switches, reading your smart energy meter, and managing and reducing your electricity use. This guide was prepared by OZZI, the official distributor of Shelly smart home products in Israel.
