USB Bluetooth Gateway

Bluetooth WiFi gateway in a USB-A dongle

A dongle that acts as a bridge between your Shelly BLU devices and the wider Shelly ecosystem. It receives Bluetooth signals and sends 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 connector

Scripting for local control

Supports MQTT, WebSocket and therefore any compatible home automation system such as Home Assistant

WLAN range extender

can scan the Bluetooth network and find all other Bluetooth devices; can trigger actions on third-party devices via scripts

No device is forgotten: The bridge to limitless integration - Enter a new era of seamless connectivity with the Shelly BLU Gateway. Typically, 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 will revolutionize your Setup without having to wire additional relays - just 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 just limited to cloud connections! The device enables 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 offers a reliable, effective communication path over the MQTT protocol. This allows you to expand your current smart ecosystem with branded devices and platforms of your choice.

Expand your existing WiFi range - In many homes, a single router is too weak to produce a stable signal that reaches every room, resulting in dead zones and faulty connections. With the Shelly BLU Gateway you can transmit your signal up to 30 m indoors and up to 50 m outdoors. Plug in a gateway close to your router's range and connect it to the network. This creates a seamless connection that gives you extended WiFi range within your current Setup.

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