Shelly 2PM Gen4 2Ch Smart Switch With Power Monitoring, Zigbee And Matter Support

Overview:

Shelly 2PM Gen4 is a small form factor 2-channel smart switch with power measurement and cover control, which allows remote control of electric appliances through a mobile phone, tablet, PC, or home automation system. It can work standalone in a local Wi-Fi network or it can also be operated through cloud home automation services. The device also has improved processor and increased memory compared to its predecessor. The device supports Venetian blinds similar to it’s predecessor Shelly 2PM Gen3.
Shelly 2PM Gen4 can be accessed, controlled and monitored remotely from any place where the User has internet connectivity, as long as the device is connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Internet.
It can be retrofitted into standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets and light switches or other places with limited space.
Shelly 2PM Gen4 has embedded Web Interface which can be used to monitor and control the device, as well as adjust its settings. The device has multi-protocol wireless MCU which provide Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity ensuring a secure connection.
This device is compatible with Matter (default device profile is Switch).

• Virtual Components: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen2/DynamicComponents/Virtual/
• Venetian blinds mode: The Device enables remote control of motorized blinds, roller shutters, venetian blinds, awnings, etc. It measures power consumption of the connected device. It is recommended to use only motors with electronic or mechanical limit switches. The motor limit switches must be set correctly before connecting the Device to the motor.

Use Cases:

• Appliance Control: Use it to remotely control and automate the operation of various electric appliances such as lights, fans, or other devices.
• Power Monitoring: Monitor the power consumption of connected appliances in real-time. This is useful for understanding energy usage patterns and promoting energy efficiency.
• Home Automation: Integrate the Shelly 2PM Gen4 into your home automation system to create custom scenes and schedules for your devices.
• Energy Efficiency: Leverage the power measurement feature to identify energy-hungry appliances and make informed decisions to improve overall energy efficiency in your home.
• Remote Monitoring: Keep an eye on your devices even when you're away from home. The remote access feature allows you to monitor and control connected appliances from anywhere with internet connectivity.

Home Automation Use Cases

Independent Control of Two Circuits:

• Control two different lighting circuits or appliances from a single module.
• Great for double wall switches (e.g., living room & hallway lights).
• Monitor power usage separately for each channel.

Smart Shutter / Blind / Curtain Control:

• Control motorized blinds, roller shutters, or curtains.
• Supports calibration for precise open/close/stop positioning.
• Supports tilt control of slats for Venetian Blinds.
• Automate based on time, sun elevation, or weather conditions.

Appliance Energy Monitoring:

• Independently monitor power use of two appliances (e.g., coffee machine + toaster).
• Receive alerts or trigger actions if devices exceed power thresholds.

Bathroom & Kitchen Ventilation:

• Channel 1: Bathroom fan control with humidity-based automation.
• Channel 2: Mirror heater or towel rail with scheduling or temperature triggers.

Commercial / Office Use Cases

Meeting Room or Zone Lighting:

• Automate lighting in two adjacent rooms or zones from one location.
• Track power usage separately for energy audits.

Display or Signage Control:

• Channel 1: Shop sign lighting.
