Shelly BLU Series: The Smart BLE Lineup

The Shelly BLU series represents a major shift toward Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in the smart home ecosystem. These devices are designed for extreme battery efficiency, rapid response times, and seamless integration through Shelly’s Wi-Fi-to-Bluetooth gateways.

Below is a detailed guide to the Shelly BLU lineup, including technical listicles and distribution information.

Shelly BLU Series: The Smart BLE Lineup

1. Shelly BLU Gateway

The Shelly BLU Gateway is the heart of the BLE ecosystem. It is a compact USB dongle that acts as a bridge between your Bluetooth sensors and the Shelly Cloud or local automation systems.

  • Connectivity: USB Type-A plug; acts as a Wi-Fi range extender.

  • Protocol Support: Works with MQTT, WebSocket, and BTHome.

  • Key Feature: Enables scripting for local control without a permanent cloud dependency.

2. Shelly BLU Button1

The Shelly BLU Button1 is a portable remote that triggers complex scenes with simple click combinations.

  • Triggers: Supports single, double, triple, and long presses (4 actions total).

  • Feedback: Includes visual LED and sound indicators.

  • Battery: Lasts up to 2 years with a standard CR2032 battery.

3. Shelly BLU Door/Window

Designed for security and climate control, the Shelly BLU Door/Window sensor is small enough to be tucked inside window frames.

  • Sensors: Detects open/close status, tilt angle, and ambient light (LUX).

  • Speed: Ultra-fast reaction time of less than 100ms.

  • Longevity: Battery life extends up to 5 years.

4. Shelly BLU Motion

The Shelly BLU Motion is a high-sensitivity PIR sensor that integrates a light meter to automate lighting based on both movement and brightness.

  • Sensitivity: Features 256 levels of sensitivity to avoid pet-triggered false alarms.

  • Range: Detects motion up to 9 meters away.

  • Integration: Can trigger local scripts via a gateway for zero-latency lighting.

5. Shelly BLU H&T (and ZB Version)

The Shelly BLU H&T provides precise environmental monitoring for temperature and humidity.

  • Resilience: IP54 rated, making it resistant to dust and water splashes.

  • Variants: Available in standard Bluetooth and Zigbee (ZB) versions for broader compatibility.

  • Display: The Display ZB version adds an e-ink screen for local readings.

6. Shelly BLU TRV

The Shelly BLU TRV is a smart thermostatic radiator valve that manages heating room-by-room.

  • Control: Physical rotary knob for manual adjustment or app-based scheduling.

  • Efficiency: Includes a “Boost” mode for rapid heating and works with external sensors for accuracy.

  • Power: Uses 2 x AA batteries with up to 2 years of life.

7. Shelly BLU Distance

The Shelly BLU Distance uses ultrasonic technology to measure liquid levels or object proximity.

  • Precision: Measures from 200mm up to 5 meters.

  • Applications: Ideal for monitoring water tanks, fuel levels, or parking spot occupancy.

  • Build: IP64 weather resistance for outdoor or industrial use.


Technical Specifications & Connectivity

All Shelly BLU devices utilize AES encryption (CCM mode) to ensure that your sensor data and control signals remain secure. While they require a gateway (like a Shelly Pro, Plus, or Gen3 device) to connect to the internet, they communicate locally with high reliability. Most sensors in the line offer an indoor range of 10 meters and an outdoor range of up to 30 meters.
