Shelly Plus Plug US | WiFi Operated Smart Plug with Power Measurement | Home Automation | iOS Android App | Alexa & Google Home Compatible | Monitor Appliances | Remote Control (2 Pack)

Easy setup and it plays nice with Home Assistant! I love that it can be used completely on my local network out of the box. The web-based config page allows it to be used even with out a smart home "hub" or Shelly's cloud app. Oh and I find the power monitoring feature to very handy! Highly recommend!

I love this product. First heard about this from a Raspberry Pi internet monitoring setup where the author also monitored the power consumption of his satellite gear with a Shelly plug. I grabbed one and installed it on the pump for my 25,000 gal swimming pool. Pump pulls 989W consistently, well within Shelly's limits. I can now monitor the power consumption from a Pi and detect things like a burst hose or low water level based on feedback from the pump. I can also turn the pump on and off remotely which makes vacuuming by myself a breeze. I have bypassed the old mechanical time switch my dad mounted on the wall when I was a kid and now I schedule the pump operating hours in the Shelly app. I love this product and will be buying a few more! Very capable and has a whole slew of communication options including wifi, bluetooth, websocket. and MQTT. Impressive device in a tiny little package!

I am extremely happy with my Shelly Smart Home Plug. It offers excellent WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth support, making it a versatile addition to any smart home setup. This plug works seamlessly with all major home automation systems, including Home Assistant and MQTT clients. Additionally, it can function as a standalone device thanks to its built-in web server.I currently have more than 50 Shelly devices in my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their performance. The reliability and ease of integration make Shelly products a top choice for anyone looking to enhance their smart home experience.

I thought it was just going to allow me to turn on/off the outlet remotely. But it does SO much more. (Things I didn't expect.)- It shows the real-time power usage (V and A). Great for determining how much power a UPS, power strip, or individual device is using.- It includes a counter for tracking Watt-hours. (You can reset the counter for measuring over a specific period.)- Built-in timer and supports scripts for doing really customized tasks. (E.g., if the following conditions are met, then turn on or off the outlet. For example, I can have it query my digital thermostat and turn on a fan.)The best part: while it can be used with cloud services (Siri, Alexa, Google Home, etc.), those are OPTIONAL. I use it offline as part of my local office network.Building something like this from scratch (e.g., esp32, voltmeter, ammeter, power relay, etc.) would cost way more than this little device, and it wouldn't have as nice of a user interface.My only wish? I wish they had a two-outlet version.

I previously had purchased a Shelly Plus 2PM and verified that the line voltage, current and energy reported via the API, web-socket and web page were within 3% of actual values. The results were quite impressive, so I decided to purchase the "Shelly Plus Plug US" (this device) anticipating similar performance. However using 60W incandescent light bulb (resistive) as the load, the API and web reported the line voltage at ~130V (actual on a meter was 118.6V). Also via the Shelly API, the line current was 0.547A (actual meter reading 0.480A). The API reported power was proportionally higher as well, 71W vs 57W actual.The first thing I did before running the above tests was to update the firmware on the device. That process turns out to be very simple via the devices own web page. From a previous review, I read that after the update you would need to reset it, but that was not necessary.While the ad indicates it has a temperature sensor, you can't actually use it to read ambient air temperature since the sensor is enclosed inside the unit. It reads the internal temperature of the device which for me was 116˚F.I believe that the Shelly Plus Plug US must be a 1st generation product, where the Plus 2PM is 2nd generation unit. However Shelly does not currently offer a 2nd generation plug.So would I purchase this again - Yes I would. Aside from readings that are too high which were disappointing, there are a number positives for why I like this product.1) It has an extensive API library which allows you to manage, configure and use the device for home automation.2) If you can't use the API, it has its own web page which essentially does all the main things you want.3) You can set up Schedules and Timers on the device via the web page. For example, say you only wanted the device to turn off in 15 minutes or you wanted automatically turn it back on after 2-hours later or both, you can do this by setting a timer. With scheduling, you can set up specific turn-On and turn-off times for specific days of the week. Multiple schedules can be created.4) The device uses WiFi instead of proprietary protocols like other devices.5) It works well with Habitat. I easily added shelly devices to mine after installing the Shelly Plus Plus" driver.6) A cloud account is not required to function on your home network. I did not sign up for an account nor download the android app to my phone. However if you need access to devices while away from home, you might need to consider a shelly cloud account unless you already have world access to your network via habitat, home assistant or some other home automation application.Overall the Shelly product line looks very good, especially their 2nd gen devices.

This works as expected. Set it up and operate the outlet from iphone app. The set up instructions are not good ( as in, horrible) . Takes some playing around to get it working

Major connection issues. Initial setup went OK, but no longer visible in Shelly app. My router can see the device, and I can ping it, but Shelly app no longer sees it.
