Smart WiFi Dimmer Switch
USER GUIDE
The Shelly® smart WiFi dimmer by Allterco Robotics is intended to be installed
directly to your lights in order to control and dim the light. It is intended
to be mounted into a standard in-wall console, behind the light switches or
other places with limited space. Shelly may work as a standalone device or as
an accessory to a home automation controller.
SHELLY DIMMER CANNOT BE CONNECTED AND OPERATE A FAN. DOING SO MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT OR FAN, INCLUDING CAUSING A FIRE!!!

Introduction to Shelly®
Shelly® is a family of innovative Devices, which allow remote control of
electric appliances through mobile phones, PC or home automation systems.
Shelly ® uses WiFi to connect to the devices controlling it. They can be in
the same WiFi network or they can use remote access (through the Internet).
Shelly ® may work standalone, without being managed by a home automation
controller, in the local WiFi network, as well as through a cloud service,
from everywhere the User has Internet access. Shelly ® has an integrated web
server, through which the User may adjust, control and monitor the Device.
Shelly ® has two WiFi modes – access Point (AP) and Client mode (CM). To
operate in Client Mode, a WiFi router must be located within the range of the
Device. Shelly®devices can communicate directly with other WiFi devices
through HTTP protocol.
An API can be provided by the Manufacturer. Shelly ® devices may be available
for monitoring and control even if the User is outside the range of the local
WiFi network, as long as the WiFi router is connected to the Internet. The
cloud function could be used, which is activated through the web server of the
Device or through the settings in the Shelly Cloud mobile application.
The User can register and access Shelly Cloud, using either Android or iOS
mobile applications, or any internet browser and the website:
https://my.Shelly.cloud/.
Technical Information
