Short Description

The Shelly i4 Gen3 is a smart Wi-Fi switch input that allows you to manually activate or deactivate any created scene, run synchronized actions, or execute complex trigger scenarios. You can use it to control other connected Shelly switches, sensors, or HTTP and MQTT-controlled devices.

Small enough to fit behind every wall switch, the Shelly i4 Gen3 can show the status and control the action of four inputs. It features an improved processor and increased memory compared to its predecessor.

You can access and monitor the device remotely from any location with internet connectivity, provided it's connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Internet.

It can be retrofitted into standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets, light switches, or in other compact spaces.

The device includes an embedded Web Interface for setup and control.
