Shelly Smart Control App Reviews

Works perfect!

I’ve been doing home automation since 2000. If a switch, sensor, relay, hub, voice assistant or program exists, I’ve used it. I was always missing the most important things - privacy, full local control, free Cloud if I am away from home, low price, and intelligence on the device. Shelly has this and so much more. The app is super easy and intuitive. I can’t believe how much they let a user do. It’s almost too good to be true, but everything we deserve.

Have been using and loving Shelly for three years now but the new app has given me a few headaches. I believe there’s a bug where bulbs don’t recall power ON or OFF state in scenes, despite that box appearing checked in the app. I confirmed this by editing my scenes in the old, unsupported web editor where I found the power ON box was unchecked.

This works great! I like having American IOT products, no network shenanigans and clearly written instructions. Devices do exactly what they need to do and are very practical.

The app interface is much more intuitive. Editing rooms and devices is much easier. Creating scenes adds functionality to devices.

Some UI bugs: create account button does nothing if you tried to login but you didn’t have an account. Had to force quit. Button to send notification code has some lag updating the UI so I accidentally sent myself 4 verification codes.
