Shelly Plus Plug UK, Smart Wi-Fi Outlet with Power Metering, Remote Control Socket, Max 3000W, Custom Schedules, Home Automation(13A) Compatible with iOS, Android, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings

I find the range and quality of Shelly products just superb and I have quite a collection now around the house. The Plus Plug is great, seems super reliable (I have had them on high-current items such as the tumble dryer and washing machine for almost 2 years now) and they have some neat functionality that other smart plugs don't have, such as being able to set the power-on status (i.e. what happens after a power cut), setting the colour of the status ring depending on what it's doing (including being able to turn it off completely) and so on. The Shelly range - including the Smart Plus - also integrates beautifully with Home Assistant. A tad more expensive than others perhaps, but It Just Works!

Slightly unfortunate larger fit which encroaches on the other plug spaces in a multi-socket adaptor. Apart from that it is superb. Ticks all the boxes you could think of ... Dimmable led indications; Timed switching; Solid construction; Reasonably easy start procedure esp with a computerand the Shelly application available on a phone. I'd easily recommend it. Value for money is good if you check the company website in EU.

Every time I buy a Shelly product, I'm reminded why I love them so much. I have Shelly relays that control my boiler, my gate motor, you name it. You can set them up and use them entirely locally, no app or account needed, and this plug is no different. When you plug this socket in, it broadcasts its own wifi. You connect to it, navigate to the device configuration IP in your browser, and from there connect it to your own wifi. Then you disconnect from the Shelly wifi and at that point you can manage the device directly over your own network. Pro tip: If you're using an android device, turn off cellular during set up and it won't kick you off the device wifi because it has "no connection". Integrates with Home Assistant perfectly, including power monitoring. Has similar great features to Shelly relays (timed on / off, etc). The light ring feature is a nice touch, and I love that it's configurable and can change colour depending on load (and even that supports a configurable range!). My only criticism is that the design isn't super clean. Personally, I'd prefer a square-ish device with a sleeker look that is slightly more space efficient. But, it's not ugly. And honestly, the functionality and ease of integration, with fully local control, more than makes up for it. I'd take that compromise any day. Shelly, this is a great product. Rock solid. Please keep doing what you're doing.

Good product - instructions to use it not so good though. Ended up being forced to rely on ChatGPT to write the necessary script so I could use the Shelly as needed.

Excellent product. I use Home automation since before 2010. This product does not force you to use a stealing app. You can configure with clean IP and Wifi as you choose. Well done.

I use this for power monitoring but particularly to get alerts when quiet devices finish - such as dishwashers. It has some great options that allow you to get alerts on your phone and/or over Alexa (so a ding sound in different rooms) when the device is finished. Setting up rules for this isn't for complete novices but for techy people it should be fine. I set a rule so that I get an alert if it uses less than x amps for x minutes - you can determine the values needed for both by using the energy monitoring features. Another use case is detecting when a dehumidifier tank is full by using the same logic - it's been off (or very low voltage) for a number of hours which means the tank is full. You can also do the same thing on washing machines and tumble dryers to effectively make them smart devices - or even if they are already smart, to customise the alerts to your preference rather than using the manufacturers own alert system. Also great for monitoring short term energy usage of things like fan heaters or any electronic device to find out what it costs you. Take the amount of watts, divide by 1000 (turns it into kilowatts), multiply by .225 (cost of electricity per kWh, yours may be slightly different especially if reading this after 2026) and multiply that by the number of hours you use the device. The Shelly can be set up to calculate all of this for you for longer term applications, for example "how much did I spend on tumble drying this month" - something to think about over the summer!

Honestly I wouldn’t bother. It works as a simple on/off timer. It works with schedules. But for those I can just use my old Tapo plugs. The reason for getting this was to turn a pump on and off intermittently through the day. After wasting hours and hours on it over 3 days I’ve given up. I’ll just use an old Tapo linked to Google or Alexa. Save your money and sanity.

Very good quality smart plug. More epensive than a lot of options, but the Shelly ecosystem is great. Have several of these installed controling devices from cabinet lights to heaters in sheds. Highly recommended, especially if you have other Shelly devices.
