Description
Shelly LoRa Add-on: Extend the Range of Your Shelly Plus Device Give your smart home devices outstanding range and energy-efficient communication with the Shelly LoRa Add-on. This innovative add-on is specifically designed for Shelly Plus devices and opens up new possibilities in home automation, especially for scenarios where Wi-Fi isn't enough. With LoRa technology, you can now connect sensors and control devices over long distances with minimal power consumption.
What is LoRa and Why Do You Need It?
LoRa (Long Range) is a wireless technology optimized for long-distance communication while using very little energy. Unlike Wi-Fi, which has limited range and higher power consumption, LoRa is perfect for:
- Remote locations: Monitor sensors in the garden, garage, outbuildings, or other structures where Wi-Fi signals are weak or non-existent.
- Battery-powered sensors: Connect sensors that need to be battery-powered for months or even years, without constantly needing to change batteries.
- Robust communication: LoRa signals are more robust and can penetrate walls and obstacles better than traditional Wi-Fi.
Key Features of the Shelly LoRa Add-on:
- Extended Range: Experience wireless communication over significantly longer distances than what Wi-Fi can offer, perfect for larger properties or outdoor installations.
- Extremely Low Power Consumption: LoRa technology is designed to be very energy-efficient, dramatically extending the battery life of connected sensors.
- Easy Integration with Shelly Plus: The Shelly LoRa Add-on is custom-designed to connect directly to your Shelly Plus device (e.g., Shelly Plus 1, Plus 1PM, Plus 2PM, etc.), making installation smooth.
- Versatile Applications: Connect various types of sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, or door/window sensors, to collect data from remote locations.
- Enhanced Home Automation: Create advanced automation scenarios based on data from your LoRa-connected sensors, even if they are far from your main hub.
Use Cases:
- Garden Monitoring: Get data on soil moisture or temperature from different parts of the garden for smarter irrigation.
- Remote Monitoring of Outbuildings/Garages: Keep track of temperature, humidity, or door status in buildings outside of Wi-Fi coverage.
- Water Leak Detection: Place battery-powered water leak sensors in the basement or under the sink without worrying about frequent battery changes.
- Long-Distance Sensors: Used to read sensors in hard-to-reach places where cabling or Wi-Fi is not practical.
The Shelly LoRa Add-on is the perfect solution for those who want to expand the range and flexibility of their smart home and gain full control over even the most remote sensors.
