Product Introduction
ShellyBLU Door/Window (the Device) is a Bluetooth sensor designed to detect
the opening and closing of a door or window. It can also measure the
inclination of a door or window that tilts and turns. In addition, it features
a light sensor.
Installation Instructions
WARNING! Do not allow children to play with the magnets. Even relatively small magnets can cause serious injury if swallowed.
CAUTION!
- Keep the Device away from liquids and moisture. The Device shouldn’t be used in places with high humidity.
- Do not use if the Device has been damaged!
- Do not attempt to service or repair the Device yourself!
- The Device may be connected wirelessly and may control electric circuits and appliances. Proceed with caution! Irresponsible use of the Device may lead to malfunction, danger to your life or violation of the law.
First steps
ShellyBLU Door/Window comes ready to use with the battery installed.
However, if pressing its button does not make the Device start emitting
signals, you might need to insert a battery.
See the Replacing the battery section.
Mounting
ATTENTION! When mounting the Device make sure the small triangle on the sensor unit points towards the magnet as shown in Fig. 2 and the distance between the sensor unit and the magnet is less than 10 mm / 0.4 in when the door or the window is closed.
You can place the magnet left, right, above, or below the sensor unit.
If you want to monitor a door or window that tilts and turns, mount the sensor
unit (C) on the door or the window (A) and the magnet (D) on the frame (B) as
shown in Fig. 3.
Use the supplied double-sided foam stickers to affix the sensor unit and the
magnet to the door or the window and the frame.
Depending on the door or window frame, you may need to align the magnet and
sensor unit by raising one of them using shims (E).
If you want to monitor a conventional door or window, we suggest, if possible,
mounting the sensor unit on the frame and the magnet on the door or the
window.
Using ShellyBLU Door/Window
If a conventional door or window is opened, the De-vice will immediately
broadcast information about the event, the illumination, and the battery
status at the time of the opening detection.
If a door or window, which tilts and turns is opened, the Device will
immediately broadcast information about the event, the illumination, and the
battery status at the time of the opening detection and 2 seconds later will
broadcast information containing the inclination angle, the illumination, and
the battery status at the moment.
If the inclination angle changes the Device will broadcast its new status
within 8 seconds.
If the door or the window is closed the Device will broadcast information
about the event, the inclination angle (zero), the illumination, and the
battery status at the time of the closing detection.
If the Device beacon mode is enabled it will broadcast information about the
current open/close state, the inclination angle, the illumination, and the
battery status every 30 seconds.
To pair ShellyBLU Door/Window with another Bluetooth device press and hold the
Device button for 10 sec.
The device will await connection for the next one minute. The available
Bluetooth characteristics are described in the official Shelly API
documentation at https://shelly.link/ble
To restore the device configuration to factory settings, press and hold the
button for 30 seconds shortly after inserting the battery.
