Why did DIY communities embrace Shelly so quickly?

September 30, 20201 min read

From the moment Shelly released its first product, the Shelly 1, the community of developers who love smart homes, in Israel and around the world, jumped on it. These talented people have come up with endless creative solutions and keep sharing them with each other. 

Why did this happen?

Beyond packing many capabilities into an affordable, reliable and stable product, it lets them program the device however they like, and that freedom is what they love most. The company in Europe also makes a point of answering questions on the various forums, which helps the user community.

As a result, a large and very supportive community has grown around Shelly products (here in Israel too): in Facebook groups dedicated to the field, on WhatsApp and Telegram, and across the internet, with countless video tutorials, integrations with a huge range of technology platforms and more. All this knowledge about Shelly products, and about smart homes in general, is available to anyone who wants to get started and make their own home smart, which makes the product even more desirable.
