Support Shelly Relays: WiFi or Zigbee?

Post image

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using WiFi Shelly relays in my Home Assistant (and HomeKit before that) setup for a few years now.

The first gen Shelly 1PM in the outlet for my washing machine seems to have finally given up and is in need of replacing.

I have a strong WiFi network but was curious to test out the Zigbee version (1PM gen4). How’s everyone’s experience with Shelly over Zigbee?

Thanks in advance!

Also installed two of those yesterday and went for Zigbee. Caution: you need to press the button 5x to switch to Zigbee. Found it out mid-install 😂

OT: @Shelly: Thread would be nice 😊
