USB Bluetooth Gateway

Bluetooth-Wi-Fi Gateway in a USB-A Dongle

A dongle that acts as a bridge between your Shelly BLU devices and the broader Shelly Ecosystem. It receives Bluetooth signals and forwards them to the cloud or locally to another non-Bluetooth device. Now, all your Shelly devices - not just Plus and Pro - can seamlessly interact with your BLU devices.

USB Type-A plug

Scripting for local control

Supports MQTT, WebSocket, and thus any compatible home automation system like Home Assistant

Wi-Fi Range Extender

Can scan the Bluetooth network and discover all other Bluetooth devices; can trigger actions on third-party devices through scripts

No device is forgotten: The bridge to limitless integration - Step into a new era of seamless connectivity with the Shelly BLU Gateway. Typically, Bluetooth-enabled devices require a Bluetooth gateway like 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.), the Shelly BLU Gateway is the solution! This compact dongle revolutionizes your setup without the need for additional wiring - 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 devices without Bluetooth capability.

Unite your smart devices - in the cloud or locally - Shelly BLU Gateway is a small USB dongle that serves 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 serve as a gateway to the Shelly Cloud and thus to your existing Gen-1 devices. This way, you can save yourself an upgrade to Shelly Plus or Pro devices. But Shelly BLU Gateway is not limited to cloud connections only! The device allows local control with immediate response through scripting.

Expand your smart ecosystem - If you need to ensure smooth data transfer from your Bluetooth-enabled devices to a variety of home automation platforms, Shelly BLU Gateway provides a reliable, effective communication path via the MQTT protocol. This allows you to expand your current smart ecosystem with brand devices and platforms of your choice.

Extend your existing Wi-Fi range - In many households, a single router is too weak to generate a stable signal that reaches every room, leading to dead zones and faulty connections. With Shelly BLU Gateway, you can transmit your signal indoors up to 30m and outdoors up to 50m. Plug a gateway near the range of your router and connect it to the network. This creates a seamless connection that provides you with an extended Wi-Fi range within your current setup.

Full compatibility - Shelly devices are compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Android, and iOS. Along with the voice assistant, you can control Shelly devices with your voice!
