Who it’s for
A small gateway that plugs into a USB port and connects Shelly Bluetooth (BLU) sensors and remotes to your home network: door, motion and temperature sensors. Most homes don’t need it: any Shelly Plus, Pro, Gen3 or Gen4 device already works as a gateway. You only need it when no such device is within range of the sensor.
Before you install
- Powered from a 5 V USB port (a standard phone charger, router or computer).
- Range of up to about 20 meters indoors.
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.
