What is a Relay Switch?

Smart relay switches are compact, Wi-Fi enabled devices that fit directly into your existing wiring, adding remote control and automation to almost any electrical circuit — without replacing your switches or fittings.

Installed discreetly behind a wall switch, inside a wall box, or within a consumer unit, relays sit between your power supply and the device you want to control. Once connected to your Wi-Fi network, they can be switched on or off remotely via an app, voice assistants, or automated triggers — giving you smart control without smart wiring.

Whether you're automating a single light or managing an entire property, smart relay switches offer a flexible, affordable way to bring any circuit under intelligent control — with minimal installation and maximum compatibility.

FAQ

What is a Shelly relay switch?

A Shelly relay switch is a compact smart device that fits inside your existing light switches or plug sockets, allowing you to control lights, appliances, and other electrical loads remotely via the Shelly app or your smart home system.

Do Shelly energy meters require a hub or bridge?

No — Shelly devices connect directly to your existing Wi-Fi network, so no additional hub or bridge is needed.

Do I need to replace my existing switches?

No — Shelly relays are designed to fit behind your existing switches and sockets, so you keep your current wall switches while gaining smart control.

Do I need an electrician to install a Shelly relay switch or energy meter?

Installation involves working inside a consumer unit (fuse box), inside light switches and consumer units involves mains voltage, so it is strongly recommended to have a qualified electrician carry out the installation.
