Enhance Your Home Security
Always stay informed about your property. Simply place the Shelly BLU Door/Window ZB on your front door, windows, balcony doors, or garage to receive instant notifications whenever they're opened while you're away. Integrate it into your smart security system to trigger alarms, activate cameras, or turn on lights automatically when unexpected activity is detected. The ultra-fast response time ensures you're alerted within milliseconds of any door or window movement.
Smart Energy Automation
Reduce energy waste effortlessly with intelligent automations. When a window is opened, the sensor can automatically turn off heating or air conditioning to prevent energy loss. When a door closes, lights can dim or shut off in unoccupied rooms. The built-in light sensor enables even smarter scenarios, such as turning on hallway lights only when the front door opens in low-light conditions.
Wireless Connectivity & Compatibility
The Shelly BLU Door/Window ZB supports dual-protocol operation, working with both Zigbee 3.0 hubs (like Home Assistant, Hubitat, SmartThings) and Bluetooth gateways (Shelly Plus, Pro, Gen3, Gen4 devices, or the dedicated Shelly BLU Gateway). It also supports BTHome protocol for direct Bluetooth integration with compatible smart home platforms, giving you multiple options for seamless connectivity.
Ultra-Compact & Easy Installation
Measuring just 35 × 35 × 7 mm (sensor) with a lightweight design at approximately 10 grams, the Shelly BLU Door/Window ZB blends discreetly into any environment. Installation is simple: mount the sensor and included magnet on your door or window frame using the adhesive backing, align them with a small gap, and pair with your smart home system. No wiring, no tools required.
