Shelly PM Mini Gen3 - Wi-Fi Smart Power Meter, 1 Channel, 16 A, No Relay Switch, Home Automation, Real-time Power Monitoring, Alexa & Google Home, No Hub Required, Smart Schedules

I have an extractor fan switch that I use to switch off the fan at night, due to noise. I wired this in and now I have a schedule setup to not let the fan come on at night. It’s small and easy to setup in the webpage and then the app, plus it looks like it does loads of other cool stuff.

Oh. My. Gosh. I recently installed the Shelly smart home light relay, and let me tell you, it has COMPLETELY transformed my existence! I’m not just talking about lights turning on and off; I’m talking about a spiritual awakening. First of all, when I opened the box, it felt like I was unboxing a piece of advanced alien technology. The sleek design? Chef’s kiss! It practically whispered, “Welcome to the future, earthling!” I almost cried tears of joy. Installation? Easy peasy! I was so excited I may have accidentally knocked over a lamp and spilled coffee everywhere, but who cares? I was on the brink of an enlightenment journey! Once I connected it, I felt like Tony Stark flipping switches in his lab. And let’s talk about the app. OH. MY. GOSH. The interface is smoother than butter sliding down a rainbow. I can control my lights from anywhere! I’m talking about the couch, the kitchen, even the bathroom (don’t judge me). It’s like being a wizard, but instead of spells, I just tap my phone. “Lumos!”—I mean, “Turn on the living room lights!” It’s practically sorcery! Now, the moment my lights dimmed for movie night? Pure magic! I felt like I was living in a high-budget film. I half expected Leonardo DiCaprio to knock on my door and ask to join my epic viewing party. But wait, there’s more! The voice control feature? I’m convinced my lights are sentient now. “Hey, Shelly, turn on the kitchen lights!” and they obey like a loyal puppy! I could literally see my cat rolling its eyes in jealousy. In conclusion, if you’re not using the Shelly smart home light relay, what are you even doing with your life? It’s not just a light relay; it’s a lifestyle change! My home feels like a tech-infused paradise, and I am the king (or queen) of my castle. Bow down to the brilliance of Shelly! 10/10 would recommend!

These relays have been a great addition to our growing smart home. Initially went down a well known smart bulb route but that left us tied in to the brand (and their cost) and having to replace failed bulbs after a few years. These relays were easy enough to install for someone who is competent with basic home electrics. They mean we can continue to use our existing light fixtures and bulbs. The Shelly mini is small enough to install in the ceiling rose if the light fixture or ideally if you have a neutral at the switch, then to put behind there. Quick to set up, lots of configuration options including viewing power consumption. If you’re a home assistant user then they integrate easily there too which has enabled me to then use with Apple HomeKit. Plan to buy a lot more of these for other lights around the house!

Small enough to fit into most appliances, the shallowest of backbox, and can fit a couple in most normal ones. Could probably even fit in a ceiling rose. Easy setup with the app, just wish they supported zigbee. WiFi is easy to use but it has limitations for IoT devices. The screw terminals are rather flimsy, don’t tighten too tight but make sure it’s gripping the solid core. If using stranded beware there’s only a millimetre of plastic between terminals! The relay is pretty noisy considering its size.

Bought the 2-pack back in April to control the intake and extraction fans in my aviary through Google Home. They’ve been excellent – reliable, responsive and easy enough to set up once you’ve got them wired in. The power monitoring is a nice bonus, but for me the main win is how seamlessly they work with automation. Fans kick in and out exactly when they should, no delays or dropouts, and I don’t have to think about it. For such small devices they pack a punch. If you need smart control without the faff of a separate hub, these do the job brilliantly. I’ll be grabbing more for other parts of the setup.

Super quick dispatch – arrived the next day. Fitted it to the bathroom fan, and with the app you can choose exactly how many hours or minutes you want it to run for. Really convenient! I had an issue and the seller sorted it out straight away. Highly recommend this seller

Easy fit, works as designed, i use this to set my bathroom mood lighting on timers / schedules / sunset etc, and plan to eventually link up to home assistant with motion sensors

I purchased this to control my boiler, seems simple enough.. Search "Homekit Relay" boom, shelly mini top hit, read the reviews, lovely, purchase it, great, arrived the next day, perfect. Go to install.... needs a homebridge... that sucks. Im not spending time, effort and £85 on a raspberry pi, to then configure it and mess around getting stuff to work for an £11 relay... I know, ill return it... £2.75 for postage, its almost not worth the effort. If your looking for native HomeKit integration, this isnt for you.

Ideaal apparaatje. Ik heb hem aangesloten op de voeding van de caravan en kan precies bijhouden hoeveel ik in totaal verbruik en hoeveel watt ik op het moment gebruik.

I'm sure these are good quality, but the way these products are named is very confusing. I had to return them. Just be aware of the power ratings and functions before purchasing. I have since purchased the correct one, but am still waiting for it to arrive.

je l'ai installé dans un boitier muni d'un cable 220/230V et d'une prise de cette manière je peux le placer sur n'importe quel appareil et en surveiller la consommation (frigo,congélateur,...)

... but I got so much more. Frustrated with the normal light timers limited timing features, I turned to one of these Shelly Mini G3 smart switches. It works great and has the timing feature of an individual offset from dawn that was missing from the non-smart timer switches. The manual is bit overwhelming, and it was missing the specific "wiring plan" I needed. Searching the web I didn't easily find the answer. A deep dive into a manual for one of their other products and I found the answer. The wiring I needed was two momentary switches connected directly to the device. While it describes one, it's not clear on how to add more. It's pretty simple, put them in parallel. But this should have been easier to find. I wasn't interested in cloud support and was a little worried I would be required to use it. Again, a detail that is hard to get clarity from any manuals. It's not required or needed for local access only. Once installed, I used the AP feature (Wi-Fi directly to the device, open a web browser). This allowed me to finish the setup and configure the timers all I wanted. It's nice its exposed Web UI did everything I wanted. I continued and joined it my house Wi-Fi and have it automatically set time from the google time services. Then I could access its exposed web interface with directly connecting to the device, just my Wi-Fi; and had it automatically updated its firmware. It did come with firmware that was a version behind. Not really a requirement, but I checked out their Shelly app on my Android phone. It worked great. There are a lot of bad reviews that were recent, so I was worried. I think the complexity of rooms and how to add devices was throwing these people off, but the model clicked with me, and I thought it was very functional and stabile. So, I then ordered three smart outlets to add to the mix; and I am happy. Makes remote control and management of timers all in one UI rather than each units Web UI. There are many other features I haven't even delved into yet, like actions. If the App quits being supported, I can always go back to the fully functional Web UI on each unit.

Great product, many functions, just could do with a little better wifi range.
