Hey everyone, welcome back to Bud’s Smart Home! Today, I’ll be walking you through the process of adding the affordable and reliable Shelly Z-Wave Relays to your Homey and SmartThings compatible hubs. Full disclosure: I purchased the relay featured in today’s video, and this content is not sponsored by Shelly or any other brands. So, as always, the opinions are 100% my own.
Now, if you're a smart home enthusiast like me, you're probably familiar with Shelly. It’s one of the fastest-growing smart home brands globally, known for stellar customer support and backing their devices with a 3-year warranty. During the January 2024 Consumer Electronics Show, Shelly made waves (pun intended!) by unveiling their latest Wave line of Z-Wave devices. Recently, Shelly acquired Qubino, one of the largest manufacturers of Z-Wave products. Their Shelly Qubino Wave devices are built on the latest Z-Wave S800 chip, offering cutting-edge performance.
In this article, I’ll review the Shelly Qubino Wave 1 and provide details for sourcing and installing the custom edge driver. Like other Z-Wave relays in Shelly’s lineup, this device is UL-certified and offers impressive specs. It’s a 1-channel, 15A Z-Wave Smart Switch Relay with Dry Contacts and ultra-low power consumption.
If you need power metering, check out the Shelly Wave 1 PM relay.
Need to control two switches? You’ll want the Shelly Wave 2 PM relay.
These relays are ideal for controlling household appliances, electrical circuits, and office equipment. Plus, they double as Z-Wave repeaters, helping extend the range and reliability of your smart home network.
