Shelly devices can be controlled and managed directly on the local network or
by using the Shelly cloud service accessible via the Internet. Download the
Shelly Cloud Application by scanning the QR code above, or access the devices
through the Embedded web interface, explained further down in the user guide.
Shelly devices are compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home supported
functionalities, as well as other home automation platforms and voice
assistants. See details at
https://shelly.cloud/compatibility/.
Registration
The first time you load the Shelly Cloud mobile app, you have to create an account that can manage all your Shelly devices. You need to use an actual e-mail because that e-mail will be used in case of а forgotten password!
Forgotten Password
In case you forget or lose your password, click the “Forgot Password?” link on
the login screen and type the e-mail you used in your registration. You will
receive an e-mail with а link to а page where you can reset your password. The
link is unique and can be used only once.
⚠ ATTENTION! If you are unable to reset your password, you have to reset
your device (as explained in the “Device Inclusion” section, Step 1). First
steps After registering, create your first room (or rooms), where you are
going to add and use your Shelly devices. Shelly Cloud allows you to create
scenes for automatic control of devices at predefined hours or based on other
parameters like temperature, humidity, light, etc. (with available sensors in
Shelly Cloud). Shelly Cloud allows easy control and monitoring using a mobile
phone, tablet, or PC. Shelly Plus 1 can be grouped with other devices in the
application. It can also be set to trigger actions on other Shelly devices by
set parameters. We also allow setting parameters for lights, scripting, etc,
which are not a simple ON/OFF.
