Shelly · 1L Gen3
The Shelly 1L Gen3 is a compact smart relay designed specifically for installations where there is no neutral wire behind the switch. This makes it ideal for upgrading older electrical systems without having to rewire them. This device lets you control lights and automations via WiFi, mobile app, voice assistants, or home automation systems such as Home Assistant. The third generation improves hardware performance, connection stability, and automation capabilities compared with previous models. The Shelly 1L Gen3 works locally without relying on the cloud and offers support for MQTT, Webhooks, and internal scripts. It also supports advanced integration with Home Assistant through the official Shelly integration. Depending on the connected load, it may require the Shelly Bypass to ensure stable operation with low-power LED fixtures.
