The Shelly Smart Control app is the successor to Shelly Cloud, offering new features to monitor and manage devices, track energy consumption, and forecast monthly electricity bills. Users can create custom dashboards, view real-time energy usage, access detailed statistics for different areas, set electricity tariffs, and utilize information screens. The app serves as a hub for remotely controlling Shelly devices and is essential for the initial installation process.

The Shelly Home Automation range includes relay switches, sensors, plugs, bulbs, and controllers that operate over Wi-Fi. The latest Shelly Plus and Shelly Pro products support Bluetooth connectivity for improved device communication speed and stability. The Shelly Pro line allows simultaneous LAN and Wi-Fi usage. All Shelly devices come with embedded web servers, Wi-Fi connectivity, and APIs for monitoring and control. A user account is necessary to manage Shelly devices through the app or upcoming Wear OS integration.

Shelly devices are compatible with popular home automation platforms like Google Home and Alexa. Users are advised to update "Chrome" and "Android System WebView" on Android 9 and earlier versions to prevent potential issues with the app's functionality. Seamless updates are provided for new device support, ensuring a smooth user experience without the need for manual updates except for major releases.
