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 e provided by the Manufacturer. Shelly® devices may be available for monitor 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/.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION! Danger of electrocution. The mounting/installation of the Device should be done by a qualified person (electrician). CAUTION! Danger of electrocution. Even when the Device is turned off, it is possible to have voltage across its clamps. Every change in the connection of the clamps has to be done after ensuring all local power is powered off/disconnected.
CAUTION! Do not connect the Device to appliances exceeding the given max load! CAUTION! Connect the Device only in the way shown in these instructions. Any other method could cause damage and/or injury.
CAUTION! Before beginning the installation please read the accompanying documentation carefully nd completely. Failure to follow recommended procedures could lead to malfunction, danger to your life or violation of the law. Allterco Robotics is not responsible or any loss or damage in case of incorrect installation or operation of this Device.
CAUTION! Use the Device only with a power adapter that complies with all applicable regulations. A defective power adapter connected to the Device may damage the Device.
RECOMMENDATION! Тhe Device may be connected to and may control electric circuits and appliances only if they comply with the respective standards and safety norms.

INITIAL INCLUSION

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

  1. Connect sensor DS18B20 to the device as shown fig.1. In case that you want to wire the DHT22 sensor use scheme from fig.2.
  2. In case that you want to connect binary sensor (Reed Ampule) use the scheme from fig.3A for DC power supply or fig.3B for AC power.
  3. In Case that you want to connect a button or switch to the device use the scheme from fig.4A for DC power supply or fig.4B for AC power.
  4. For wiring an 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 programmed limits of the levels, because 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 logical “0” (LOW)
  • DC: 0,6V up to 36V – it is measured as logical “1” (HIGH). Only when the voltage is below 0,6V it is measured as logical “0” (LOW)
  • Maximum allowed Voltage – 36V DC / 24V AC For more information about the Bridge, please visit: http://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#shelly-family-overview or contact us at: developers@shelly.cloud You may choose if you want to use Shelly with the Shelly Cloud mobile application and Shelly Cloud service.
