Generation
Model guide
Which generation should I pick?
A generation is the brand's own version label. Newer usually means more ways to connect rather than a different device: Shelly's Gen4 adds Zigbee and Matter on top of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that Gen3 already had.
-
Gen3
Wi-Fi + BluetoothShelly's third-generation devices. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with a faster processor and more automation capacity than the Plus range they replaced.
Selected -
Gen4
Adds Zigbee + MatterShelly's fourth-generation devices. Adds Zigbee alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and works with Matter, so it pairs with Apple Home as well as the others.

Which module size do I need?
Size decides where a module fits and whether it suits the space you have.
-
Standard
About 37 x 42 mmThe full-size in-wall module. Fits most Australian wall boxes and mounting brackets, and takes the most common wiring layouts without fuss.
Selected -
Mini
About 29 x 34 mmA shrunk version of the same module. Same job, smaller case, so it fits behind a mech in a wall box that is already tight for room.
Not available with Gen3 and One channel and Energy monitoring.
Channels
Filter guide
What's a channel?
A channel is one output the device controls on its own. On a relay, each channel switches one circuit, so a 2-channel relay runs two lights separately. On an LED strip controller, each channel drives one colour line of the strip.
-
One channel
Switches one circuitSwitches one thing on its own: a light, a fan, an exhaust.
Selected -
Two channels
Switches two circuitsTwo circuits controlled separately, like both halves of a double switch.
Power Metering
Filter guide
What does energy monitoring do?
The relay measures how much power the circuit is drawing and reports it in the app, so you can see what a heater or pool pump actually costs to run and build automations around usage. Models without it still switch as normal; they just don't measure.
-
Switching only
No power measurementTurns the circuit on and off without measuring power use. Choose this where you only need control, not consumption data.
-
Energy monitoring
Measures power useMeasures the power the connected circuit is using, so you can see consumption per device in the app. These are the models with PM in the name.

Everything you need to know
The Shelly 1PM Gen3 is a single-channel Wi-Fi relay rated to 16 A, with power metering. For Matter and Zigbee, choose the Shelly 1PM Gen4. It needs a neutral wire and a licensed electrician to install.
Product features
Power metering behind your existing switch
In the wall box behind a light switch or power point, the 1PM Gen3 keeps your switch working as it does now, while adding app control, schedules and power metering for the circuit.
- Fits behind a light switch or power point
- Works with toggle and momentary switches
- Needs a neutral wire in the wall box
Measures power usage in real time
Real-time power measurement shows what the connected light, fan or appliance is drawing and how much energy it uses over time, so you can see where your power is going. For Matter and Zigbee, we recommend the Shelly 1PM Gen4 instead.
- Live power draw and energy history
- Switches loads up to 16 A
- Fans and LED drivers need an RC snubber
Overpower and overheating protection
The 1PM Gen3 has built-in protection against overpower, overcurrent, overvoltage and overheating, handled by the relay itself.
- Overpower and overcurrent protection
- Overvoltage and overheating protection
- Protection runs on the device
Works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant
The Shelly 1PM Gen3 joins your Wi-Fi network directly, with no hub to buy, and works with Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. It also extends your Wi-Fi coverage and works as a gateway for Shelly BLU Bluetooth sensors.
- No hub required
- Gateway for Shelly BLU sensors
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2
Up to 20 schedules on the relay
Schedules and custom scripts run on the 1PM Gen3 itself, so they carry on through an internet outage. Configure everything from the built-in web interface on your home network.
- Up to 20 schedules
- Scripting support

What is a Shelly relay?
A relay is a small module that hides in the wall box behind a switch, or on the rail in your switchboard, wired in between the power and whatever it controls. That might be a light, an exhaust fan, a towel rail, a pump, or the motor that opens your garage door. Nothing on show has to change. The switch stays on the wall and keeps working exactly as it does now, and the same circuit can also be turned on from your phone, on a schedule, or by an automation.
The number
One channel per circuit
The number in the name is how many things the module can switch on its own, from one up to four. A single light or exhaust fan takes a 1. A double light switch controlling two separate lights takes a 2, and each side still works on its own. The Pro 4PM goes up to four.
Pro and Mini
Where the module lives
Everything else in the name is about size and place. The standard module sits in the wall box behind your switch, and the Mini is a smaller version of it for when there is very little room left in the box. Pro units are built for the switchboard, clipping onto DIN rail, which is where whole circuits and three-phase work belong.
PM
What PM on the end means
PM is power measurement. Those models report what the circuit is drawing and the energy it has used over time, alongside the on or off state, so you can see what a heater or a pool pump actually costs to run. Models without PM switch the circuit and tell you nothing about it.
Gen 3 and Gen 4
What the generation changes
The generation tells you which protocols the module speaks. Gen 3 is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Gen 4 adds Zigbee and has Matter built in, though it runs one or the other, not both at once. The wiring, the app and the local control are identical. Pro units carry no generation in their name.
The existing controls
Nothing you already use stops working
The switch on the wall keeps doing what it has always done, and so does the button inside the garage. Whatever controls that circuit now carries on working, and the relay adds a second way in from an app, a schedule or a voice assistant. Nobody in the house has to change how they do things.
Smart bulbs
Smart lights that stay reachable
Smart bulbs only work while they have power, so one flick of the wall switch makes them unreachable via an app, like Philips Hue. Set the relay to Detached and the bulbs stay powered while the switch becomes a button your smart home can read, which is how a system like Home Assistant gets the switch and the bulbs working together again.

Scripts
13
Give it jobs the app can't
Scripts add jobs the relay can't do with the Shelly app's schedules and actions alone, like acting on the weather forecast or sending an alert to your phone. Each one is a small program that runs on the relay itself: copy it, paste it into the device's script editor and press Start. It doesn't need a hub, a cloud account or a subscription.

Which relay do I need?
Gen3 is the value pick for everyday Wi-Fi setups. Gen4 adds an upgraded processor, Wi-Fi 6 and Zigbee. Matter is on out of the box, so it pairs with Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa directly, without the need for the Shelly app. Pro is built to go inside your switchboard, clipping onto the same DIN rail as your circuit breakers, and connects over Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi.
If you want a reliable relay behind a switch at the lowest price, and you run the Shelly app or Home Assistant over Wi-Fi, Gen3 does the job. For a new setup, Gen4 is the one we'd pick. If you already run a Zigbee network, Gen4 slots straight into it, and because every Gen4 relay is also a Zigbee repeater, each one you add extends and strengthens that network. A relay on Zigbee gives up Matter and its own settings page, so you choose which each one runs. And if you're searching for Gen2, it shipped under different names, the Plus and Pro ranges.

Behind the switch
Fits in the wall cavity behind an existing switch or power point. The switch on the wall stays and still works; the relay sits behind it and makes the circuit smart.
In the switchboard
Clips onto the standard rail in your switchboard, next to the circuit breakers. Keeps everything in one serviceable spot, which suits whole-home installs and bigger jobs.

What you can do with it
A warm towel rail on winter mornings
Schedule the rail for weekday mornings and it's warm when you step out of the shower, off again before you leave. No more discovering it's been heating an empty house all day. Control with any of
Bathroom fan that clears the steam, then turns itself off
The exhaust fan keeps running after the light goes off, long enough to clear the steam, then shuts itself down. Add a humidity sensor and it only runs when the room needs it. Control with any of 
Outdoor lights on at sunset, off at midnight
Porch, path and garden lights follow the sun through the year without you touching a switch. Run the lights you have from a Shelly relay, or fit Philips Hue outdoor lights, and set it up in their app or Home Assistant. Control with any of 
Run the pool pump when it costs less
The pool pump is one of the hungriest circuits in most houses, so schedule its runs into off-peak windows and see what each one uses. Changing the season's run times happens from the couch, not the pump shed. Control with any of 
Switch off an appliance left running
A metering relay on the heater's supply switches it off after the time you set, and can message you when it has been drawing power too long. The same alert can tell you the washing has finished. Control with any of Common questions
Quick answers before you buy. We test this gear ourselves. Can't find yours? Ask our Melbourne team
Yes, though it's a small job. Shelly relays wire into 240V mains circuits, so in Australia a licensed electrician fits them, and a single relay doesn't take a sparky long.
Yes, this model needs a neutral at the install point. If your switch box has no neutral, look at the Shelly 1L or 2L instead: they're made for exactly that wiring.
No. It connects to your Wi-Fi and works from the Shelly app with no hub and no subscription. Schedules and automations run on the device itself, so they keep working if the internet drops out.
Yes. This model meters its own output, so the app shows live power draw and consumption history. You can also set thresholds and have the relay switch off on them.
