Shelly LoRa Add-on - additional module

Shelly's LoRa add-on is a long-range communication expansion module specifically designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices. This module provides reliable wireless communication up to 5 km in open areas, making it the ideal solution for locations where Wi-Fi or other short-range technologies are not sufficient.

This package contains only 1 LoRa module, so it is recommended mainly as an add-on to the 2-piece kit if you need to establish a LoRa connection between more than 2 points and need another module. 

Designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 devices, the module takes long-distance connectivity to a new level: it allows safe operation in open areas and ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments. Thanks to the module, Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices can also be used in places where other technologies no longer work.
This small, compact expansion module is the ideal choice for automating urban infrastructures, managing remote devices or optimising precision agriculture. It supports customised scripts, so it can be fully customised according to the specific needs of the application.

Main functions

• Range up to 5 km: Thanks to Shelly's proprietary LoRa technology, the module can cover long distances, which is particularly useful in agricultural areas, industrial facilities or urban infrastructure.
• LoRa technology: LoRa technology combined with Shelly's proprietary protocol ensures strong and efficient performance.
• Compact design: The small size of the device can be easily integrated into existing Shelly systems without taking up much space.
• External antenna: The module has an external antenna that ensures a stable and strong signal even in harsh conditions.
• Easy installation: The Shelly LoRa X2 can be easily connected to compatible Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices and quickly put into operation.
• Scripting support: Supports custom scripts for specialised use cases.

Examples of use

• Door control and remote control: Control of door motors in large yards or car parks without Wi-Fi coverage.
• Agriculture: control of remote sensors and irrigation systems, monitoring soil moisture and temperature.
• Industrial facilities: Remote monitoring of machinery and equipment, optimising energy consumption. Covering remote points in large halls without Wi-Fi coverage. 
• Urban infrastructure: Automation of street lighting, traffic control systems.
• Residential buildings: Integration and control of central systems in multi-apartment buildings.
