Pro 4PM Smart Relay
Four metered circuits from one DIN-rail module with Ethernet: the whole-home workhorse of the Pro range.
Filter guide
What's a channel?
One channel switches one circuit. A 2-channel relay behind a single plate can run two lights on their own schedules, or a light and an exhaust fan, without needing a second device.

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.
Not available with Four channels. -
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.

Product features
Smart control from the switchboard, switches untouched
Pro relays install at the switchboard, so the smart layer lives in one place instead of scattered through wall boxes around the house. Every wall switch stays exactly where it is and keeps working the way it always has; the relay adds app control, schedules and automations on top. It's the tidiest way to make a whole house smart without changing a single thing the family touches.
DIN rail and Ethernet, like the rest of your board
The Pro series mounts on a DIN rail alongside your breakers and adds an Ethernet port, so control traffic can run over cable rather than Wi-Fi. Multi-channel models switch several circuits from one unit, and the form factor is one your electrician already knows. Everything the compact relays do, schedules, scripting and local control included, is here too.
See what every circuit really uses
PM models meter their own output, so you can watch live power draw and review consumption history per channel in the app. That's enough to find the appliances quietly costing you money, confirm the hot water or pool pump actually ran, or catch a heater someone left on. Set thresholds and the relay can act on them itself, switching off a load that draws too much for too long.
Automations that don't need the internet
Schedules, timers and scenes run on the relay itself, not on a server overseas. Set lights for sunset, a towel rail for weekday mornings, or a fan to run down after the bathroom light goes off, and it all keeps working through an internet outage. There's no subscription, and the embedded web interface gives you full control from a browser on your own network.
What is a Shelly relay?
A relay is a switch you never see. It wires into the circuit between the supply and the light or appliance, so that circuit can be switched from the wall, from your phone, from a schedule or from an automation. The switch already on the wall stays wired in and keeps working for anyone who just wants to flick it.
One channel per circuit
Channels decide how many you buy. The range runs from one to four, so a single light takes a one-channel module and a plate driving two circuits takes a two-channel. Each channel switches its circuit independently.
Wall box or switchboard
The smaller modules sit in the wall box behind an existing switch, where the constraint is the space left behind the mechanism. Pro units clip onto DIN rail in the switchboard instead, which is where whole circuits and three-phase work belong.
What PM on the end means
A PM model measures the load it is switching and reports power and accumulated energy alongside the on-off state. Models without it switch only. The specifications on this page tell you which one you are looking at.
It runs without the internet
Schedules and scenes are stored on the relay and run there, so the light still comes on at dusk when your connection is out. Every unit serves its own web interface on your network with no account, and Shelly publishes its local API, which is why Home Assistant ships an official integration.
One circuit at a time The usual start
Most people begin with a single module behind the switch they use most, often the lounge or the outside light. The plate and the wiring stay as they are, and that one circuit becomes something you can schedule or run from your phone. Add the next one whenever you feel like it.
The whole switchboard at once Or start at the board
When the board is already open for a rewire, a new build or a switchboard upgrade, Pro units on DIN rail cover several circuits from one place. They run the same firmware and the same app as the in-wall modules, so a house can mix the two freely.
Nothing has to be settled up front. Each relay works on its own, there is no hub to buy first, and you can start with one circuit and go as far as you like from there.

Which relay do I need?
Gen3 is the value pick and does everything most homes need. Gen4 adds Zigbee and Wi-Fi 6, and Matter is on out of the box, so it joins Apple Home or a Zigbee network with no hub in between. Pro is DIN rail hardware for the switchboard.
If you run the Shelly app or Home Assistant over Wi-Fi and just want a reliable relay behind a switch, save the money and buy Gen3. Pay the difference for Gen4 if Matter or Zigbee matters to your setup. One thing to know: Zigbee on Gen4 is an either/or mode, so a relay switched to Zigbee leaves Wi-Fi entirely. 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.

Use cases
Heat water when power is cheapest
Shift the hot water system to overnight off-peak rates, or to the middle of the day to soak up your solar. One schedule on one circuit, working on every bill after it.
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 watch what each one costs. Adjusting the season's run times happens from the couch, not the pump shed.
Outdoor lights on at sunset, off at midnight
Porch, path and garden lighting follows the sun through the year without you touching a thing. It also makes the house look lived-in while you're away.
Catch the appliance left running
With metering on the circuit, the relay notices what the appliance is doing: an alert when the washing machine finishes, or when the freezer stops drawing power. It can even switch off a heater that's been on too long.
Common questions
Quick answers before you buy. We test this gear ourselves. Can't find yours? Ask our Melbourne team
Yes. Pro models wire into the switchboard, which is licensed-electrician work in Australia. For a sparkie it's a familiar job: the unit clips onto the DIN rail like any other module.
In the switchboard. Pro models mount on a DIN rail alongside your breakers and add an Ethernet port for wired control, which is the right shape for whole-home and multi-circuit installs.
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.
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.
