Shelly LoRa Range-Extending Add-On for Shelly Smart Relays Two Pack

The Shelly LoRa Add‑On (two‑pack) is a compact module that attaches directly to compatible Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 relays, extending their wireless communication range to up to 5 km. Featuring an external front‑mounted antenna, it uses LoRa radio technology alongside Shelly’s protocols to deliver secure, reliable long‑distance connectivity. This add‑on is especially useful for low‑cost IoT deployments spread over large areas or for maintaining communication between buildings.

Description

Please note: The Shelly LoRa Add-On operates in pairs to exchange data. To create a functional LoRa setup, each project will require at least two LoRa modules; one to transmit and one to receive.

The Shelly LoRa Add-On is an affordable expansion module designed for compatible Gen3 and Gen4 Shelly devices, such as the Plus 1 Gen3 or Plus 1PM Gen3. Using the LoRa (Long Range) communication protocol, these add-ons enable data transmission over extended distances. Unlike LoRaWAN, which depends on external infrastructure like cell towers or dedicated gateways, Shelly’s LoRa Add-On can communicate directly without any additional network equipment.

With a maximum range of up to 5 km, it’s ideal for expanding Shelly networks in urban automation scenarios, for example, coordinating traffic lights that adapt to time-of-day or weather conditions. It’s equally effective for long-distance IoT connectivity on farms, between multiple buildings, or across large campuses.

Beyond long-range communication, the LoRa Add-On enhances signal penetration through challenging materials such as concrete and metal, improving wireless reliability inside buildings. Installation is simple, requiring only that the module be attached to a compatible Shelly device.

Key features:

  • Effortless long-range communication: Stay connected up to 5 km with the power of an external antenna.
  • Advanced technology for ultimate reliability: Powered by LoRa for strong and efficient performance.
  • Seamless device integration: Works with specific Shelly Gen3 & Gen4 devices, after updated to 1.6 firmware version.
  • Designed for tough conditions: Operates reliably even in obstructed or hard-to-reach areas.
  • Quick & easy setup: Get started in just a few steps.
  • Customisable for your needs: Supports custom scripts to match specific use cases.
