Ever Trend Zone Nine new Z-Wave devices added to the mix
Shelly, a favorite among smart home enthusiasts, is moving toward mainstream adoption with the announcement that nine new devices in its Z-Wave line are earning SmartThings certification.
The new devices added to the SmartThings mix are Wave 2PM, Wave Pro 2, Wave 1PM Mini, Wave Pro 1PM, Wave Pro 2PM, Wave 1PM, Wave 1, Wave 1 Mini and Wave Pro 1.
The move boosts Shelly’s focus on accessibility and interoperability, marking a shift that should bring the Bulgarian brand’s devices to a wider audience.
Building on the success of the Shelly Wave Plug US, which achieved SmartThings certification in May, new additions include energy metering plugs, smart switches and professional DIN rail devices.
These Z-Wave powered products are designed for energy-efficient automation and reliable connectivity within the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem, making them ideal for users looking for a seamless smart home setup.
The expansion means Shelly now offers ten Z-Wave devices that integrate directly with SmartThings.
Known for its affordable, flexible, and privacy-focused smart home solutions, Shelly has long been a go-to brand for smart home power users, aka nerds (I’m allowed to say that, being a full-fledged nerd card).
By increasing support for one of the most widely used platforms, the company is signaling its intention to grow beyond niche markets and appeal to everyday smart home users; a move that SmartThings itself has made in recent years, of course.
Shelly devices are already platform agnostic and integrate with Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit, often without the need for a dedicated hub.
For SmartThings users, this latest development simplifies the addition of Shelly devices to their setups, aligning with Samsung’s vision of an open, easy-to-use smart home ecosystem.
I hope to catch up with Shelly in Las Vegas next month at CES 2025, so be sure to stay tuned The environment for more brand updates.
