“Solid budget smart relay switch with excellent local control options and Matter/Home Assistant compatibility. Good for DIY smart home enthusiasts who want flexibility between cloud and local operation, though the lack of URL callbacks and polling-only status updates may frustrate users expecting seamless hub integration.”
Potential-free contacts allow controlling high-voltage appliances without interfering with existing wiring
matteralpha.comcompact smart switch featuring potential-free contacts for remote control
Fits inside standard electrical wall boxes behind light switches or power sockets
kb.shelly.cloudcan be retrofitted into standard electrical wall boxes behind power sockets and light switches
Works independently on local Wi-Fi without requiring cloud services or subscription
thesmarthomehookup.comcan work standalone in a local Wi-Fi network
Integrates directly with Home Assistant and Hubitat using local push protocols MQTT and CoIoT
thesmarthomehookup.comMQTT and CoIoT are push protocols meaning the shelly will immediately let your hub know
Bluetooth and BLE gateway enable easy initial setup and device inclusion
kb.shelly.cloudBluetooth and BLE gateway are available for inclusion purposes
No URL callback support requires constant polling to detect state changes in home automation hubs
restechtoday.comdoesnt include any URL callbacks at all so it cant be seamlessly integrated
Only normally open relay contacts exposed creates failure risk for critical appliances
