Shelly-UNI Universal Wifi Module

INITIAL INCLUSION

Before installing/mounting the Device ensure that the grid is powered off (turned down breakers).

Connect sensor DS18B20 to the device as shown in fig.1. Incase that you want to wire DHT22 sensor use scheme from fig.2.
In case that you want to connect binary sensor (Reed Ampule) use scheme from fig.3A for DC power supply or fig.3B for AC power.
In Case that you want to connect button or switch to the device use the scheme from fig.4A for DC power supply or fig.4B for AC power.
For wiring a ADC use scheme from fig.6

CONTROL OF THE INPUTS

Reading of standard logical levels, independent from the applied voltage on the inputs(potential free)
It cannot work with programed limits of the levels, be-cause they aren‘t ADC attached to the inputs
When there is Voltage from:
AC 12V up to 24V – it is measured as logical “1” (HIGH). Only when the voltage is below 12V it is measured as log-ical “0” (LOW)
DC: 2,2V up to 36V – it is measured as logical “1” (HIGH). Only when the voltage is below 2,2V it is measured as logical “0” (LOW)
Maximum allowed Voltage – 36V DC / 24V AC

Shelly-UNI Universal Wifi Module fig1 Shelly Cloud gives you the opportunity to control and ad-just all Shelly® devices from anywhere in the world. All you need is an Internet connection and our mobile application, installed on your smartphone or tablet.
Registration
The first time you load the Shelly Cloud mobile app, you have to create an account which can manage all your Shelly® devices.
Forgotten Password
In case you forget or lose your password, just enter the e-mail address you have used in your registration. You will receive instructions to change your password.
Be careful when you type your e-mail ad-dress during the registration, as it will be used in case you forget your password.
First steps
After registering, create your first room (or rooms), where you are going to add and use your Shelly devices.

Shelly Cloud gives you the opportunity to create scenes for automatic turning on or off of the Devices at predefined hours or based on other parameters like temperature, humidity, light etc. (with the available sensors in Shelly Cloud). Shelly Cloud allows easy control and monitoring using a mobile phone, tablet or PC.

Device Inclusion

To add a new Shelly device, install it to the power grid following the Installation Instructions included with the Device.

Step 1
After the installation of Shelly following the Installation Instructions and the power is turned on, Shelly will create its own WiFi Access Point (AP).
WARNING! In case the Device has not created its’ own AP WiFi network with SSID like shellyuni-35FA58, please check if the Device is connected accordingly to the Insta-lation Instructions. If you still do not see an active WiFi network with SSID like shellyuni-35FA58, or you want to add the Device to another Wi-Fi network, reset the Device. If the Device has been powered on, you have to restart by powering it off and on again. Power on shelly Uni and press the reset switch button until the LED on the board goes in ON. If not, please repeat or contact our customer support at: support@Shelly.cloud
Step 2
Choose “Add Device”. In order to add more Devices lat-er, use the app menu at the top right corner of the main screen and click “Add Device”. Type the name (SSID) and password for the WiFi network, to which you want to add the Device.
Step 3 If using iOS (left screenshot)
Press the home button of your iPhone/iPad/iPod. Open Settings > WiFi and connect to the WiFi network created by Shelly, e.g. shellyuni-35FA58.
If using Android (right screenshot): your phone/tablet will automatically scan and include all new Shelly Devices in the WiFi network that you are connected to.
Upon successful Device Inclusion to the WiFi network, you will see the following pop-up
Step 4
Approximately 30 seconds after the discovery of any new De-vices оn the local WiFi network, а list will be displayed by default in the “Discovered Devices” room.
Step 5
