What is Shelly Home and how does it work?
Shelly Home is an Android application developed by Dirk Gausmann that enables users to set up, control, and manage Shelly Smart Home devices from their smartphones. The app is designed to create a personalized and convenient living experience by allowing you to handle your connected hardware efficiently. Whether you prefer managing your setup through a few clicks or distributing firmware updates directly to your devices, the application streamlines the entire management process.
Can I manage my devices when I am away from home?
The app offers both local and remote connectivity options to suit your location. When you are away from home, you can connect to your devices via the Shelly Cloud or a Shelly user account, giving you the flexibility to manage your smart home on-the-go. Conversely, all existing functions remain fully accessible locally within your network even without an active internet connection, ensuring continuous control over your hardware at all times.
How do device updates work within the app?
Keeping your connected hardware current is supported through seamless update distribution. The application lets you send easy updates directly to your Shelly devices using your smartphone. This functionality helps ensure that your smart devices maintain their latest features and improvements without requiring complicated update procedures.
Are all Shelly devices compatible with this application?
While most Shelly Smart Home devices are supported, compatibility can vary because the developer does not own every model. Users should check the app directly for a specific list of supported devices. As a constantly evolving private project, the platform also welcomes constructive feedback and user suggestions to help the developer improve the app over time.
