The\u00a01.97 x 1.46 x 3.27in size rests in your palm similar to a travel-size bottle of hand sanitizer (or two 9V batteries).

You can use the color of the LED indicator to determine the state of the device. A static blue LED means no power is traveling through to the connected appliance, whereas an orange LED signifies the opposite.<\/p>\n<p>And while some concern about hooking a device up to another power adapter like the Shelly Plug US is valid, there are a few main protections in place that give me peace of mind while operating it. Namely, the max power, voltage, and current protections\u2014there\u2019s a maximum limit set by Shelly, but if you\u2019d rather err on the side of caution, you can adjust them manually in the Shelly Cloud app.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"App_and_Performance_Flawless_Execution\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">App and Performance: Flawless Execution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Smart Home Enabled:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bluetooth Remote Control<\/strong>: Yes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Device power consumption:<\/strong> &lt; 1 W<\/li>\n<li><strong>Power supply: <\/strong>AC\u00a0110-230V \u00b110%, 50\/60Hz<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum load:<\/strong> 15A at 110V; 12A at 230V<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Connecting your Shelly Plug US with your smartphone is fairly easy once you know how to navigate the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/743404\/what-is-ui-and-what-does-it-stand-for\/\">UI (user interface)<\/a>. First, download the Shelly Cloud app (available for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/shelly-cloud\/id1147141552\">iPhone<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=allterco.bg.shelly&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a>). From there, open it up, tap the three lines to expand the navigation menu, and select Add device. Now, log into your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n<p>You can then scroll through the list of nearby\/detected Shelly devices, scan the QR code on the box, or search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Include the device in your local network and you\u2019re all set up. You can now rename your Shelly Plug US, control the connected device, set up timers or schedules, sync up smart speakers, and more all from the app.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re coming from something like a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08L8C6V4W\/?tag=reviewgeekreviews-20\">Wyze Plug<\/a>, you may be surprised to note you can also monitor power consumption in Watts by device or room, and over selected time periods. I used the Shelly Plug US to power a wax warmer in my kitchen; it stays at a steady 20W to 22W while in use.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_tip\"><p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019d like to adjust your overconsumption protection settings, head to Shelly Plug &gt; Settings &gt; Safety.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More importantly, with a connection range of over 100ft (30.48m) indoors and 165ft (50.92m) outdoors, it works flawlessly. I could call out, \u201cHey Google, turn off Shelly Plug,\u201d and out it\u2019d go. If I know guests are on the way and I want to spruce up my apartment\u2019s entryway, I\u2019ll use the app to turn on the Shelly Plug from my phone while continuing to tidy up before they arrive.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d rather automate your lights (think outdoor lights in the winter), hook them up to a Shelly Plug and set a schedule. For instance, set them to turn on at 6:30PM and turn off at 11:00PM\u2014never waste electricity forgetting to unplug all those lights again.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> The Shelly Plug US is not weather resistant, so only leave it plugged in outside in a location that won\u2019t get wet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I admire the functionality the Shelly Cloud app brings to the table. It\u2019s practical to set schedules and timers for various lights and appliances, but it should be easier to do so. The Shelly Cloud app comes with a learning curve, and the only way to gain a better understanding is by poking around and figuring things out yourself\u2014a good methodology for soaking up knowledge, but rather inconvenient when you\u2019re just trying to control your wax warmer.<\/p>\n<div style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 4px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
