Lighting control in the smart home makes your life easier: you can control lamps automatically, via app or voice command - without any major installation effort. With the Shelly modules, you can retrofit your lighting particularly easily, as they connect your light to the WLAN without any complications.
You can use the app to change the light colour, dim the light or set schedules. You can also conveniently control your lighting system remotely - ideal if you are travelling and have forgotten to switch off a lamp. While you are on holiday, you can use the smart lighting to simulate your presence by automatically switching the lights on and off. This gives you more convenience and security at the same time!
You can control and automate your lighting individually with the Shelly app. One special function is setting up scenes. A scene is a predefined combination of actions that controls several devices or functions at the same time - for example, if you set the lighting control according to your individual daily routine and switch certain lights on or off at set times.
You can control your lighting individually with the Shelly app. One particularly cool function is setting up scenes.
Here we explain how to use scenes effectively in your smart home.
Open the Shelly app and select the desired room in which the scene is to be set up (e.g. "Living room").
Tap on "Scenes" in the corresponding room.
Eitherselect "Add scene" orclick on theblue"+ " nexttotheroomname.
Define the conditions under which the scene should be triggered (e.g. "when a movement is triggered" or "according to a defined daily or weekly schedule").
Add a time-based condition (e.g. "Every evening at 18:00").
Choose between:
Timer switch
Daily/weekly schedule (recommended for lighting control)
Once (for one-off scenes, e.g. Christmas)
Specify the desired days and times (e.g. Mon - Fri, always at 07:00).
Add further conditions:
AND conditions (e.. switch on the light if it is Mon - Fri 08:00 and a movement is detected)
OR conditions (e.g. switch on light if it is Mon - Fri 08:00 or a movement is detected before 08:00)
Once the "if" has been clarified, add the "then" - i.e. the action to be triggered (e.g. switch on the light).
Select the type of action to be performed, e.g. switch off the light.
Determine which device or light source is to be controlled (e.. the ceiling light).
Select which status of the device is to be changed:
Switch on
Switch off
Switch state (from on to off or vice versa)
Optionally, you can set a customised timer so that the light switches off after a certain time (e.g. after 30 minutes).
When using a motion detector, it makes sense to combine switching off with a delay (e.g. the light switches off 5 minutes after motion is detected).
Check the entire configuration for errors or inconsistencies.
Assign the scene to a room so that it is displayed correctly in the app.
Give the scene a unique name, e.g. "Evening lighting".
After saving, you will find the scene under "Scenes" in the selected room and can edit it at any time.

To control your lighting system with the Shelly app, you need a Shelly device such as the Shelly 1 flush-mounted module, which is installed behind your light switch and connects to your 2.4 GHz WLAN. Then install the free Shelly app on your smartphone or tablet. Important: Your smartphone or tablet must support at least iOS 11 or Android 6.
After registering in the app, add the Shelly device and configure it. Make sure that your Wi-Fi is stable and that the Shelly device receives sufficient signal strength. A neutral conductor is often required at the installation site. The Shelly 1L can be used in older buildings without a neutral conductor.
Requirements for lighting control with theWith the Shelly app, you can create customised light scenes, for example:
