Shelly

In modern smart homes, controlling lights, appliances, sensors and circuits with precision is essential. At ArcLED, we offer professional solutions for home and business setups. Among our range of smart controllers for light and home automation is the versatile range of Shelly smart modules. These devices will help you upgrade your conventional lighting systems, switches and circuits into fully controllable, monitored components of your smart system.

What Is a Shelly Controller and How Does It Work?

A Shelly controller is a compact electronic module that you install in your lighting or power circuit to use smart devices for that circuit. The controller is placed between the power source and your LED strips or downlights. It searches for commands from your network, then switches or dims the lights according to the instructions your controller provides. Many Shelly modules also include sensors, input terminals or monitoring features.

Shelly controllers can read inputs from physical switches, app commands, automation platforms, or scenes. For example, you can wire a Shelly device behind an existing wall switch so that you retain manual control while gaining smart functions. When you press the wall switch, the Shelly device sees that input and triggers the corresponding action in the network.

The Shelly range can integrate with other automation tools and protocols, so you can create a completely bespoke system. Many models support scripting, webhooks, MQTT, REST APIs and local control, making them a flexible option in smart home systems.

Some of our most popular modules in the Shelly range include relays for single-channel control, dual relays for multiple circuits, dimming controllers and input modules. For more details on our products, please see a selection below:

• Shelly 1PM Gen4 is a compact relay that supports switching and power metering for a single output.
• Shelly Dimmer Gen3 is designed specifically to dim LED loads with detailed brightness control.
• Shelly Pro 4PM scales to four channels and is built for more robust installations.
• Shelly i4 Gen3 offers multiple digital inputs, useful for converting switches or sensors into triggers.

Some modules also include built-in sensors for temperature, current, and voltage, as well as energy monitoring, allowing you to track power usage and establish automation based on your chosen thresholds.

If you need help choosing your Shelly module, our expert Customer Services team is available to assist with your DIY projects or larger professional setups.

Does a Shelly Controller Use WiFi?

The majority of Shelly modules use WiFi as their primary communication method. They operate on the 2.4 GHz band, using the 802.11 protocol family. This allows them to integrate into your existing network without requiring a specialised hub. Many models also support local web servers, enabling control even when cloud services are unavailable. Since WiFi is widely available and commonly used, Shelly devices are easy to install and pair.

Some newer models in the Shelly range include additional protocols (such as Bluetooth or Zigbee) to improve connectivity options, provide future-proofing and ensure the module can be used even if one of these networks is unavailable.

How to Connect LED Shelly Lights

To connect LED lighting using Shelly modules, make sure you have the correct module for your setup. Talk to the team at ArcLED for assistance with choosing your items.

Hire an electrician to connect your Shelly module into your system, whether you are upgrading an old system and keeping some components or starting completely from new. 

Once your Shelly lights are ready to use, choose the network you would like to use and set it up. Shelly is compatible with a range of smart system apps or controllers and can run on WiFi, Bluetooth or Zigbee. 

Programme your lights to activate timers, brightness, sequences, or turn your lights on and off from your device.

Why Use Shelly for LED Control?

Using Shelly products for your LED control allows you to upgrade existing systems rather than completely replace them, as you can use them behind existing switches or in junctions without replacing actual fixtures.

With everyone striving towards energy efficiency while also lowering costs, our customers like that some Shelly units report on power usage.

With several options for network connection, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee, you have backups during outages and options to find the most effective connection for you.

Due to its compatibility, Shelly is a great option for slowly replacing the systems in your home or combining it with an existing smart system. Shelly gives you a choice over how you control your lighting system.

At ArcLED, our team of experts is able to support customers integrating Shelly with LED installations, matching modules for your power requirements and making sure you have the best product for you. Remember, it is always important to hire a professional electrician to carry out any electrical work.
