Shelly Group has announced the availability of its portfolio of Shelly Wave devices. Featuring Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR), the expanded lineup provides smart control while overcoming challenges commonly faced by smart home systems such as thick walls or long distances. ZWLR offers up to 1.5-mile range in ideal conditions and supports up to 4000 devices in one network. It’s also backward-compatible with existing Z-Wave devices.
ZWLR also streamlines network efficiency by routing commands directly from hub-to-device via a star network topology without touching the home router. This preserves Wi-Fi bandwidth for streaming and gaming while letting a single Z-Wave gateway manage thousands of ZWLR modules as needs grow. That extra capacity is ideal for large residences, multi-unit properties, agricultural applications, outdoor control, and light-commercial retrofits where conventional hubs quickly reach capacity limits.
Shelly now supports every major smart home connectivity protocol, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter.
Nine ZWLR devices are now shipping: Shelly Wave Plug, Shelly Wave 1, Shelly Wave 1PM, Shelly Wave 2PM, Shelly Wave 1 Mini, Shelly Wave 1PM Mini, Shelly Wave PM Mini, Shelly Wave H&T, and Shelly Wave Motion.
Additional ZWLR devices, including Shelly Wave i4, Shelly Wave i4 DC, Shelly Wave Pro 1, Shelly Wave Pro 1PM, Shelly Wave Pro 2, Shelly Wave Pro 2PM, Shelly Wave Pro 3, and Shelly Wave Pro Shutter are expected to become available later this year.
All products are available today from the Shelly USA web store and through authorized distributors across North America.
