As DIY Tinkerers and IoT Device enthusiasts, we adore enhancing our everyday life with futuristic DIY gadgets. While this might typically mean recreating Luke’s lightsaber, one of the most satisfying projects to tackle is Home Automation. Your quality of life significantly steps up with the fun installations of smart home technology, which can improve your office workspace too. You can customise your ease of living with voice-activated lights, an automated garage door, smart sprinklers that read the sunrise, and more DIY tricks. We’re always excited to introduce more smart home technology to the South African market. Shelly IoT is a brand that provides easy ways to automate your home, and the Shelly Plus 1PM WiFi Relay Switch specially provides you with power measurement tools along with turning your appliances smart!
The Shelly Plus 1PM WiFi Relay includes WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity to give you full remote control over your home lights and appliances or set them on automatic with a schedule that could track the sunrise/sunset. Providing a wide voltage range of 110V to 230V AC or 24V to 30V DC, the Shelly Plus 1PM offers an easy way to measure your power consumption. With its small form factor, you can easily install Shelly Puls 1PM behind wall sockets, light switches and inside plug adapters. As an added pitstop in a circuit, the Shelly Plus 1PM WiFi Relay functions as a power meter and lock-release mechanism to activate your connected appliance through the Shelly Cloud App. Unlike other WiFi Relays like the SONOFF Basic, the Shelly 1 fully gives you wireless control while also maintaining the original function of your tactile switch. You can either toggle your switch or use your smartphone app to turn on your lights. The Shelly Plus 1PM can even send you alerts as your washing cycle ends or warn you of high power consumption to your 3D Printer.
Shelly Plus 1PM is highly adaptive as you build on and integrate other smart home technology such as more Shelly Devices, Alexia or SmartThings, giving you voice activation as well! You can easily program the Shelly Plus 1PM WiFi Relay to switch your lighting onto a schedule or even track the sunrise and sunset automatically to dim your lights in the evening and early mornings. With these Shelly Plus 1PM WiFi Relays you will be well on your way to a cosy smart home environment and have a fun new way to control Electronics Componentsfor other DIY shenanigans.
