Shelly EM Gen3
The Shelly EM Gen3 is a small form factor smart energy meter able to utilise up to 2 current transformers for contactless metering (one 50A clamp is included), which allows energy metering the consumption of electric appliances and reporting to 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 has internal storage for data allowing for later retrieval. The device has a single dry contact switch for controlling external loads.
The Shelly EM Gen3 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 access point and the internet. It can be retrofitted into some electrical wall boxes, next to electrical appliances, power sockets, or in other places with limited installation space. It also has an embedded web interface which can be used to monitor, configure, and control the device.
You can monitor power monitoring data via the Shelly smart home ecosystem, including the Shelly Smart Control app – or link it with a popular home automation software such as Home Assistant via a Raspberry Pi!
Note: You may require a neutral wire to use this product. Please research the device and your home wiring (safely, see below) before purchasing.
⚠️Caution – Read Before Buying⚠️
- Before beginning the installation, please read this guide and any other documents accompanying the device carefully and completely
- Danger of electrocution. The mounting/installation of the device should be performed by a qualified person (electrician)
- Failure to follow the installation procedures could lead to malfunction, danger to your health and life, violation of the law or refusal of legal and/or commercial guarantee (if any)
- Allterco Robotics (makers of Shelly products) and Mann Enterprises LTD are not responsible for any loss or damage in case of incorrect installation or improper operation of this device due to failure to follow the user and safety instructions in the printed guide accompanying this product (also available in the resources section below)
- Do not connect the device to appliances exceeding the given max load.
- Use the device only with a power grid and appliances which comply with all applicable regulations. Short circuit in the power grid or any appliance connected to the device may damage the device.
- Before starting, wire check that the breakers are turned off and there is no voltage on their terminals. This can be done with a phase meter or multimeter. When you are sure that there is no voltage, you can start wiring the cables.
