Shelly Group, a global player in home automation and smart building solutions, today announced the availability of the Shelly Plug Gen4, the most versatile and privacy-focused smart plug on the market. Expanding upon the popular Gen4 portfolio, the new US-standard plug combines advanced connectivity, customizable automation, and robust energy management to deliver effortless, secure control for homes and businesses.
Purpose-built to prioritize flexibility and ease of use, the Shelly Plug Gen4 supports Matter, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and local control connectivity for seamless interoperability across all major smart home ecosystems including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and more. With real-time energy monitoring and powerful automation features, users can monitor and control a wide range of plug-in devices, optimize energy usage from anywhere, or choose to connect and automate devices locally to ensure complete privacy.
Engineered to provide so much more than on/off control, the Shelly Plug Gen4 can manage lighting, appliances, AV and other connected systems and brings robust automation capabilities to any outlet. Users can create personalized schedules, power-cycle connected devices, and trigger automations across entire connected ecosystems. Compact yet powerful, the plug provides flexibility for beginner smart home users and professionals alike.
Advanced users, businesses, and enterprises can unlock deeper automation potential by leveraging Shelly’s scripting capabilities. Through the built in Shelly script editor or the expanding Shelly script library, users can browse, select, and load pre-configured scripts – such as automatically rebooting important networking equipment in the event of an internet outage – or create new custom automations that fit virtually any scenario. Already trusted by national retailers to automate in-store devices and networking equipment, Shelly Plug Gen4 delivers the reliability and scalability required for robust applications.
