THE EASY WAY
AUTOMATE WITH SHELLY
WiFi Shelly switches are a simple, affordable, and versatile solution for automating electrical devices.
STAND-ALONE MODE
Once configured, Shelly switches continue to operate autonomously, even if there is a WiFi outage or a power loss restart.
Their ability to handle repetitive cycles makes them perfect for controlling SuperCycles.
AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE
Shelly devices have competitive prices and are available worldwide, both in physical stores and online.
PLUG & PLAY MODELS
If you use the Shelly Plug, you DO NOT need to connect wires or perform complicated installations. Simply plug the device into the outlet, and it's ready to use.
THE SIMPLEST METHOD
SHELLY PLUG 1 US
The Shelly Plug 1 US is a smart plug that works independently (stand-alone), ideal for turning devices on and off directly.
If you are in the USA, you can plug it in without adapters.
In other countries, you need an adapter to use it with local outlets.
No electrical installation required, just plug it into an outlet.
Once configured, it keeps working even without Wi-Fi or electricity.
STEPS TO USE
SHELLY PLUG
CONNECT YOUR SHELLY PLUG TO ELECTRICITY
DOWNLOAD THE SHELLY CLOUD APP ON YOUR PHONE AND CONFIGURE IT AS PER THE FACTORY MANUAL
WHEN YOU CAN TURN YOUR SHELLY ON AND OFF WITH THE APP BUTTON, PROCEED TO STEP 2
GO TO THE SUPERCYCLER WEBSITE
ENTER THE ON HOURS, IN THIS EXAMPLE, WE USE 17
THEN THE OFF HOURS, IN THIS CASE, WE USE 13
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF FLOWERING DAYS—SINCE WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE, IT'S BETTER TO ADD A FEW EXTRA DAYS.
AND THE DLI, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THE CALCULATION, BUT IT'S OPTIONAL.
SUPERCYCLER WILL SHOW YOU THE CONFIGURATION IN SECONDS FOR THE SHELLY CONTROLLER.
IN THE SUPERCYCLE WE USED 17/13
THE EXAMPLE VALUES ARE:
ON 46800 / OFF 61200
WRITE THEM DOWN AND MOVE TO THE FINAL STEP
IN THE SHELLY SMART CONTROL APP ON YOUR PHONE
SELECT THE CONTROLLER YOU WANT TO PROGRAM; YOU CAN HAVE MULTIPLE RUNNING
ON THE LEFT SIDE, THERE IS A CLOCK ICON 🕓
ENABLE AUTO ON AND AUTO OFF
SET THE SUPERCYCLER VALUES YOU RECORDED
IN OUR EXAMPLE:
ON 46800 / OFF 61200
THESE ON/OFF VALUES REPRESENT THE DURATION, IN SECONDS, OF EACH CYCLE STATE.
THE TIME THE LIGHT STAYS ON (ON) AND THE TIME IT REMAINS OFF (OFF).
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, YOU CAN SET IT TO A SHORT CYCLE, FOR EXAMPLE, 15/15.
THIS WAY, THE LIGHT WILL TURN ON FOR 15 SECONDS AND THEN TURN OFF FOR ANOTHER 15 SECONDS, REPEATING THE PATTERN CONTINUOUSLY.
IT'S A PRACTICAL WAY TO OBSERVE IN REAL TIME HOW THE SHELLY OPERATES.
THE BEST METHOD
SHELLY SMART SWITCH
The Shelly Smart Switch is like a mini smart circuit breaker that you can install directly into your electrical systems.
Unlike a regular circuit breaker, which only protects against overloads, the Shelly Switch allows you to remotely control the switching on and off of lights or an electrical line up to 16A.
Additionally, you can program it to automate power cycles, like those generated by the Supercycler.
The drawback is that it requires wiring to connect it. Here, we show you how to connect it to a power strip.
It’s simple, but since lights are high-power devices, we recommend doing it with a professional.

Once you have completed the wiring, the only thing left is to configure it in the app. Go to Step 1.
THE METHODS WE SHOW USING SHELLY DEVICES OR PLUGS WITH TASMOTA FIRMWARE ARE JUST TWO OF THE SOLUTIONS WE USE IN OUR TESTING LAB.

💀 WARNING 💀
DO NOT BUY SHELLY WAVE
We do not recommend purchasing Shelly's WAVE series because they require a Z-WAVE hub, which is expensive and complicated to implement for most users.
Instead, we recommend opting for Shelly's Wi-Fi/Bluetooth series, as they do not require a hub, can be configured directly on your Wi-Fi network, and are more acce
