Short Description
The Shelly 1L Gen3 is a compact smart switch designed for lighting control. A standout feature is that it does not require a neutral wire to operate — however, it must be used in parallel with a Shelly Bypass 1L/2L Gen3 connected to the load. You can conveniently manage your lighting via mobile phone, tablet, PC, or home automation systems.
The device functions either standalone on a local Wi-Fi network or integrates with cloud-based home automation services. As long as the Shelly 1L Gen3 is connected to a Wi-Fi router and the internet, users can access, control, and monitor it remotely from anywhere.
Designed for space efficiency, the Shelly 1L Gen3 fits snugly into standard electrical wall boxes, behind light switches, or in tight spaces. It includes an embedded Web Interface for easy monitoring, control, and fine-tuning of device settings.
✅ This device is Matter-ready — functionality can be enabled via firmware update.
