Shelly BLU GATEWAY

Product Introduction

The Shelly BLU Gateway is a compact USB-powered device that acts as a bridge between Shelly Bluetooth (BLU) devices and the broader Shelly smart home ecosystem. It captures signals from Bluetooth sensors and controllers and transmits the data over Wi-Fi, allowing them to communicate with the Shelly Smart Control platform and other connected devices.

This gateway is particularly useful when using Shelly BLU sensors with older Shelly Gen-1 devices that do not have built-in Bluetooth functionality. By simply plugging the gateway into a USB power adapter, users can integrate Bluetooth devices into their smart home without replacing existing relays or installing additional hardware.

The device supports both cloud and local automation, enabling smart home systems to trigger actions instantly based on signals from Bluetooth sensors such as motion detectors, door sensors, and environmental monitors.
