How Shelly BLU works
Shelly BLU devices are battery sensors and buttons that talk Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi. They don't join your network themselves. A Shelly on your Wi-Fi picks up what they send and passes it on to the Shelly app, your automations or Home Assistant, and that Shelly is called the gateway.
The device
Made to run on a battery
Bluetooth needs very little power, so a BLU device runs for years on a coin cell and goes where there's no power point: on a door, a shelf or a fence post. The battery life for each one is on its product page.
The gateway
Every BLU device needs a gateway
The gateway is any Shelly on your Wi-Fi within range. Plus, Gen3, Gen4 and Pro relays and dimmers all do the job, so if you already have one nearby, you're set. If you don't, the BLU Gateway plugs into a USB charger and does only this job.
The range
Plan on about 10 metres indoors
Shelly rates the link at about 10 metres indoors and 30 metres outdoors. Walls, metal and appliances cut that down, so Shelly recommends a gateway in every room, and a device can report to more than one.
The platforms
Home Assistant reads them through BTHome
BLU devices have no Matter radio, so Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa only see them through whatever your gateway is connected to. Home Assistant supports the range directly through its BTHome integration.
Getting started
1
Check for a gateway first Start here
If a Plus, Gen3, Gen4 or Pro Shelly is in the same room or the next one, you don't need anything else. If not, add a BLU Gateway or a mains Shelly near where the device will go.
2
Add it in the Shelly app Then pair it
In Shelly Smart Control, tap the plus sign and choose Add via Bluetooth, press the device's button when asked, then tick the Shelly that will be its gateway.
Models marked ZB also carry Zigbee, so they can join a Zigbee coordinator instead of reporting through a Shelly.

Phone to device, through a gateway
Your phone reaches the gateway over your home network; the gateway speaks Bluetooth to the device, and adds scenes, automations and out-of-home control. Any of Shelly's mains-powered devices can act as the gateway.

Common questions
Quick answers before you buy. We test this gear ourselves. Can't find yours? Ask our Melbourne team
You need a Shelly within Bluetooth range to act as its gateway: a Shelly BLU Gateway, or any Plus, Pro, Gen3 or Gen4 Shelly. The button doesn't connect to Wi-Fi itself.
Yes, in beacon mode. A Shelly nearby can run an action when the button comes within Bluetooth range, such as turning on the garage lights.
It's built to resist water, dust and knocks, but Shelly doesn't publish an IP rating, so don't submerge it.
One CR2032, included. Shelly rates it at up to two years.
Not directly. It has no Matter or Zigbee radio. Home Assistant picks up BLU devices through its BTHome integration.
Hold the button for 30 seconds straight after putting the battery in. Holding it for 10 seconds puts it in pairing mode instead.
