Powerful Wi-Fi Smart Relays That Fit Behind Any Switch

Shelly makes compact Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart relays that install behind existing light switches, power outlets, and circuit breakers. They add smart control to any electrical circuit without changing the visible hardware — your existing switches stay in place.

Our experience with Shelly

Shelly devices are essential to our retrofit projects. When clients want to make existing lighting, fans, or appliances smart without replacing switches or fixtures, Shelly relays fit behind the existing switch plate and add wireless control. We deploy Shelly across apartments and villas for lighting automation, energy monitoring, and appliance control — all integrated into Home Assistant for unified management.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is a Shelly relay?+
A Shelly relay is a small Wi-Fi device that installs behind your existing light switch or outlet. It makes the circuit smart — controllable by app, voice, or automation — without changing the switch on the wall.
Can I still use my regular light switch with Shelly?+
Yes. That's the beauty of Shelly — your existing switch continues to work normally for manual control, while also gaining app, voice, and automation control.
Does Shelly need a hub?+
No. Shelly devices connect directly to your Wi-Fi network. For advanced automations, we integrate them with Home Assistant, but they work standalone too.

A Shelly relay starts from around AED 50-80. Making an entire apartment's lighting smart with Shelly typically costs AED 1,500-4,000 including installation.
