Use Cases

Unite your smart devices – cloud or locally

Shelly BLU Gateway is a small USB dongle acting as the gateway between Shelly BLU devices and the Shelly Cloud. If you want to use Shelly Gen-1 devices with Shelly BLU sensors, Shelly BLU Gateway can serve as a gateway to Shelly Cloud and thus to your existing Gen-1 devices. This way, you can eliminate the need for an upgrade to Shelly Plus or Pro devices. But Shelly BLU Gateway isn't just limited to cloud connections! The device allows for local control with immediate response through scripting.

Expand your smart ecosystem

When you need to ensure smooth data transfer from your Bluetooth-enabled devices to a wide array of home automation platforms, Shelly BLU Gateway provides a reliable, effective path for communication through MQTT protocol. Thus, you can expand your current smart ecosystem with branded devices and platforms of your choice.​

Extend your existing Wi-Fi range

In many homes, a single router is too weak to generate a stable signal reaching every room, resulting in dead zones and glitchy connections. Shelly BLU Gateway helps to broadcast your signal up to 30m indoors and 50m outdoors. Plug in one near the edge of your router's wireless range and pair it with the network, thus creating a seamless connection that will give you extended Wi-Fi range within your current setup.
