The Shelly BLU Remote Control ZB White is a battery-powered remote control for operating Smart-Home devices via Bluetooth and Zigbee. The device enables simultaneous control of multiple Shelly devices, such as dimmers, blinds or relays, and is designed for use in intelligent residential and commercial spaces. It features an integrated accelerometer, enabling gesture control, as well as an LED display and buzzer for immediate feedback with every action. The remote control supports Beacon mode, where the buzzer is activated to quickly locate the device if misplaced.

Applications

The remote control is intended for controlling various devices in the Smart-Home sector, including lights, covers and blinds, electrical appliances, and garage doors. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring fast, app-independent operation, such as in apartments, offices or commercial facilities. Support for the BTHome protocol enables integration into systems like Home Assistant without additional configuration.

Functions and Features in Detail

The device offers multi-channel operation with four channels that can be switched using dedicated buttons. This allows a single remote control to manage different devices or functions, for example lights, roller shutters and relays. The integrated gesture control enables dimming lights or adjusting blinds through simple hand movements. The LED indicators and buzzer provide visual and acoustic feedback to confirm command execution. Pairing with Shelly devices is done without an app: the device is put into pairing mode, and control begins immediately with standard commands.

Technology Explained Simply

The Shelly BLU Remote Control ZB White communicates via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Zigbee (802.15.4), with a maximum range of up to 10 meters indoors and 30 meters outdoors – depending on local conditions. The frequency bands are 2402–2480 MHz (Bluetooth) and 2405–2480 MHz (Zigbee), with a maximum RF power of less than 8 dBm. The device features an EFR32MG27 processor and 768 kB flash memory. Power supply is via 2x AAA batteries (1.5 V), providing an estimated lifespan of approximately two years, depending on usage and network conditions. The operating temperature range is -20 °C to 40 °C, and relative humidity is between 30 % and 70 % RH.

Compatibility and Accessories

The remote control is compatible with Shelly devices from the Pro, Plus, Gen3 and Gen4 series. It can also be connected to other devices supporting the BTHome protocol, including Home Assistant. Control is possible via the Shelly Smart Control app or directly via the BTHome protocol. An optional wall mount is available to mount the device on a wall. The remote control is delivered with pre-installed batteries; however, battery installation requires removing the insulating strip to activate the device.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is done by activating the batteries, which requires removing the insulating strip. An optional wall mount can be fixed to the wall by marking the designated drilling holes, drilling them, and securing with wall plugs and screws. The remote control can be used without an app by entering pairing mode, which is triggered by four quick presses of a navigation button or ring button. The device then blinks from left to right, and five slow blink signals confirm successful entry into pairing mode.

Operational Advantages

The remote control offers intuitive, app-independent control of Smart-Home devices. The gesture control and LED feedback function enhance user-friendliness. The multi-channel control enables managing various devices with a single device. The Beacon function helps quickly locate the device. Compatibility with the BTHome protocol extends application possibilities beyond Shelly devices. The remote control is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as long as environmental conditions remain within the specified limits.
