About smart home and iot at Server Hub
Smart home and IoT devices built around Shelly: relays that fit behind an existing switch or in a distribution board, dimmers for lighting circuits, energy meters that measure a single circuit or a whole board, and door, motion, temperature and humidity sensors. Most devices connect over Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth for setup and for the battery-powered sensors.
Shelly works with Home Assistant, Google Home and Amazon Alexa without a proprietary hub, exposes a local API and MQTT for anyone who prefers to script their own automations, and keeps working on the local network when the internet does not. Pick a relay by the load it switches and the space behind the switch plate, and check whether the circuit has a neutral wire before ordering — the product page states what each device needs.
The range also includes compact solar panels for keeping sensors, cameras and small loads topped up; for inverters, batteries and full backup systems see our solar, inverters and backup power range. Everything is priced in rand with VAT included and ships nationwide.
Prices include duty and are shown in South African rand. Talk to us for volume pricing or a specification you cannot find here.
Frequently asked questions
Does Shelly work with Home Assistant?
- Yes. Home Assistant discovers Shelly devices on the local network through its built-in Shelly integration, with no cloud account or hub required. Gen 2 and later devices also support MQTT and a local HTTP/RPC API for custom automations. Give each device a fixed IP or DHCP reservation so the integration stays reliable after a router restart.
Do Shelly devices need a hub?
- No. Wi-Fi Shelly devices join your existing network directly and are controlled from the Shelly app, a browser, or a platform such as Home Assistant, Google Home or Alexa. Bluetooth-only sensors need a nearby Wi-Fi Shelly device or a Bluetooth gateway to relay their readings. A hub is optional, not a requirement.
