We're excited to announce the arrival of six fantastic new Shelly products to our Z-Wave range here at Vesternet. These latest additions showcase Shelly's commitment to professional-grade smart home solutions, bringing together advanced Z-Wave technology with the reliability and innovation that Shelly is known for. What makes this collection particularly compelling is how these devices leverage the latest Z-Wave Long Range technology for extended coverage and enhanced performance.
Professional Lighting Control
Leading the charge in professional lighting control, we have the impressive Wave Pro Dimmer series. The 2PM model is a dual-channel powerhouse designed for DIN-rail mounting, making it perfect for new builds and commercial installations. What sets this apart is the built-in power monitoring – you can track exactly how much energy your lighting is consuming across both channels. It's built on the latest Z-Wave S800 protocol, ensuring future-proof compatibility and enhanced performance.
For single-channel applications, the Wave Pro Dimmer 1PM offers the same professional-grade features in a more compact package. Both dimmers work seamlessly with standard switches and push-buttons, so you can maintain familiar wall controls while adding smart functionality. The precision dimming and energy monitoring make these ideal for both residential and commercial projects where lighting quality and efficiency matter.
Smart Power Management
The Z-Wave Long Range Smart Plug brings serious power handling capabilities to your smart home setup. With support for appliances up to 3000W and 13A, this isn't just for lamps and small devices – you can control substantial appliances like heaters, washing machines, or workshop equipment. The real-time power monitoring gives you detailed insights into energy consumption, helping you identify power-hungry devices and optimise your usage.
What's particularly clever about this smart plug is that it doubles as a Z-Wave repeater, extending your network's range and reliability. This means every plug you add actually strengthens your entire Z-Wave mesh network, making it more robust and responsive throughout your home.
Advanced Sensing and Monitoring
The sensor range showcases some really thoughtful engineering. The Wave H&T (Humidity & Temperature) sensor is perfect for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. It's particularly useful in bathrooms where you can automate extraction fans based on humidity levels, or in bedrooms where you might want to trigger heating or cooling based on temperature changes. The Z-Wave Long Range technology means you can place these sensors anywhere in your home without worrying about signal strength.
The Wave Motion sensor combines motion detection with ambient light sensing, making it incredibly versatile for automation. The impressive battery life of up to three years means you can install it and largely forget about it. The extended range capabilities – up to 80 metres indoors or an incredible 1000 metres outdoors – make it perfect for larger properties or challenging installations where traditional sensors might struggle.
The Wave Door/Window sensor goes beyond simple open/close detection. It can measure tilt angles, making it perfect for windows that open by tilting or turning. The built-in light sensor adds another layer of automation possibilities – imagine blinds that automatically adjust based on whether windows are open and how bright it is outside. It's these kinds of sophisticated interactions that make a smart home truly intelligent rather than just connected.
The Z-Wave Long Range Advantage
What ties this entire collection together is the advanced Z-Wave Long Range technology. This isn't just a marketing term – it represents a significant leap forward in wireless smart home communication. The extended range means fewer dead zones, more reliable connections, and the ability to cover larger properties without additional infrastructure.
The Security 2 encryption across all these devices ensures your smart home communications are protected, while SmartStart setup makes adding new devices to your network almost effortless. These aren't just smart devices – they're professional-grade solutions that bring enterprise-level reliability to residential installations.
Whether you're building a new smart home from scratch or expanding an existing Z-Wave network, this Shelly collection offers the performance, reliability, and advanced features that serious smart home enthusiasts demand. Each device is designed to work seamlessly with others, creating automation possibilities that go far beyond what any single device could achieve alone.
