Shelly 1 Gen3 Smart Switch
Expert Take
The Shelly 1 Gen3 smart switch upgrades to a faster processor and more memory on the Gen3 platform, but retains a relay with only normally open contacts, limiting fail-safe applications. It is a capable smart switch for standard installations, but avoid for needs requiring normally closed contacts.
Pros
- Gen3 platform provides more memory, faster processor, and enhanced security for reliable smart control.bastelgarage.ch
Cons
- Only normally open relay contacts prevent fail-safe operation for critical appliances like refrigerators.restechtoday.com
- Application Examples: Monitor energy consumption in remote buildings or garages where no Wi-Fi is available.bastelgarage.ch
- It would be better if there were both normally open and normally closed contacts from the internal relay exposed on each Shelly device’s terminal strip.restechtoday.com
- It would be nice if there were an option to simply add the power of channel 2 to channel 1.restechtoday.com
- It would be nice if there were a version of the Shelly EM that included an Ethernet port to work around this situation.restechtoday.com
- Similarly, it would be nice if there were a small flexible cover, like is used to cover the voltage selection port on the Shelly 1, to cover the screw terminals on all the Shelly devices.restechtoday.com
