Shelly 2PM Gen4 is a small form factor 2-channel smart switch with power measurement and cover control, which allows remote control of electric appliances through a mobile phone, tablet, PC, or home automation system. It can work standalone in a local Wi-Fi network or it can also be operated through cloud home automation services. The device also has improved processor and increased memory compared to its predecessor. The device supports Venetian blinds similar to it’s predecessor Shelly 2PM Gen3.
Shelly 2PM Gen4 can be accessed, controlled and monitored remotely from any place where the User has internet connectivity, as long as the device is connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Internet.
It can be retrofitted into standard electrical wall boxes, behind power sockets and light switches or other places with limited space.
Shelly 2PM Gen4 has embedded Web Interface which can be used to monitor and control the device, as well as adjust its settings.
The device has multi-protocol wireless MCU which provide Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity ensuring a secure connection.
This device is compatible with Matter (default device profile is Switch).

- Great for double wall switches (e.g., living room & hallway lights).
- Monitor power usage separately for each channel.
2. Smart Shutter / Blind / Curtain Control
- Control motorized blinds, roller shutters, or curtains.
- Supports calibration for precise open/close/stop positioning.
- Supports tilt control of slats for Venetian Blinds.
- Automate based on time, sun elevation, or weather conditions.
3. Appliance Energy Monitoring
- Independently monitor power use of two appliances (e.g., coffee machine + toaster).
- Receive alerts or trigger actions if devices exceed power thresholds.
4. Bathroom & Kitchen Ventilation
- Channel 1: Bathroom fan control with humidity-based automation.
- Channel 2: Mirror heater or towel rail with scheduling or temperature triggers.
🏢 Commercial / Office Use Cases
1. Meeting Room or Zone Lighting
- Automate lighting in two adjacent rooms or zones from one location.
- Track power usage separately for energy audits.
2. Display or Signage Control
- Channel 1: Shop sign lighting.
- Channel 2: Promotional display TV or kiosk.
- Enable schedules or motion-triggered operation.
3. Window Covering Automation
