Weather-Responsive Smart Home Automation

As summer weather changes, your home can stay one step ahead. With the right Shelly automations, sunshine, rain, and storms become opportunities for smarter shading, more efficient irrigation, and greater everyday comfort.

Power Cooling Devices Only When Needed

When temperatures fluctuate throughout the day, there's no need for portable cooling devices to run continuously. Combine Shelly Plug US Gen4 with Shelly BLU H&T Display ZB to automatically power a fan or portable air cooler only when indoor temperatures exceed your preferred threshold. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, Shelly switches the device off to avoid unnecessary energy use.

Keep the Heat Outside

Large south- and west-facing windows can quickly overheat your home on sunny afternoons. Pair Shelly 2PM Gen4 with Shelly BLU H&T ZB and use the Weather API in the Shelly Smart Control app to create an automation that lowers motorized shutters when indoor temperatures rise and sunny conditions are expected. Once the room cools down, the shutters reopen automatically to let natural daylight back in.

Adapt Irrigation to the Forecast

Fixed watering schedules can waste water when August weather shifts between dry spells and sudden rain. Set the FrankEver Sprinkler Controller FK-06X to manage up to six irrigation zones, then use the Weather API in the Shelly Smart Control app to shorten or skip watering when rain is expected. During hotter, drier periods, you can extend individual cycles remotely to match your garden’s needs.

Protect Your Home During Summer Storms

Thunderstorms can arrive with little warning during the summer. Create an automation that switches off your pool pump and landscape lighting when severe weather is forecast. Shelly Pro 2 lets you control both permanently wired circuits from a single device, while Shelly Plug US Gen4 disconnects plug-in equipment such as decorative lights or a water feature. Once the storm has passed, you can restore power remotely.
