WHY SHELLY BLU GATEWAY?
No device left behind: The bridge to limitless integration
Enter a new era of seamless connectivity with the Shelly BLU Gateway. Normally, Bluetooth-enabled devices require a Bluetooth gateway such as a Plus or Pro device. But if you want to use Shelly BLU devices with your Gen 1 Shelly relays (Shelly Dimmer, Shelly RGBW2, etc.), Shelly BLU Gateway is the solution! This compact dongle revolutionizes your setup without requiring you to wire additional relays - simply plug it into an adapter. It bridges the gap between your Shelly BLU devices and the broader Shelly ecosystem, capturing Bluetooth signals and transmitting them to the cloud or locally to other non-Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Use cases
Unite your smart devices - in the cloud or locally
Shelly BLU Gateway is a small USB dongle that acts as a gateway between Shelly BLU devices and the Shelly Cloud. If you want to use Shelly Gen-1 devices with Shelly BLU sensors, Shelly BLU Gateway can act as a gateway to the Shelly Cloud and therefore to your existing Gen-1 devices. This way, you can avoid upgrading to Shelly Plus or Pro devices. But Shelly BLU Gateway is not limited to cloud connections! The device enables local control with an immediate response through scripting.
Expand your smart ecosystem
When you need to ensure seamless data transfer from your Bluetooth-enabled devices to a variety of home automation platforms, Shelly BLU Gateway offers a reliable, effective communication path via the MQTT protocol. This allows you to expand your current smart ecosystem with branded devices and platforms of your choice.
Extend your existing Wi-Fi coverage
In many homes, a single router is too weak to produce a stable signal that reaches every room, resulting in dead zones and unreliable connections. With the Shelly BLU Gateway, you can extend your signal up to 30 m indoors and up to 50 m outdoors. Plug a gateway in near the range of your router and connect it to the network. This creates a seamless connection, giving you extended Wi-Fi coverage within your existing setup.
