How do I connect a Shelly device to my WiFi network?

Shelly devices can be easily connected to your WiFi network through the device's built-in web interface. 

1. Enter the Shelly's Web Interface

Once your Shelly device is connected to a power source, search on your phone or computer for available WiFi networks. Your Shelly device will have its own WiFi network - find it and connect to it!

 

 

Once you're connected to your Shelly device's WiFi network, open a browser window and enter the default IP address in the address bar. The default IP should be 192.168.33.1.

If you'd like to control and monitor your Shelly devices in the Shelly Smart Control app, you have to enable cloud access; click on the Settings cog, go to Cloud and click Enable Cloud. 

 

 

2. Connect your Shelly device to your WiFi network.

Now that you're in the web interface, it's time to tell your Shelly device which WiFi network to connect to. 

Click on the settings cogwheel, select WiFi, and tick 'Enable WiFi Network'. Choose your WiFi network, add the password, and click save. 

 

 

Your Shelly device will be assigned an IP address once it's connected to the internet - make sure to make a note of it, as it'll make adding and identifying Shelly devices much easier in the long run!
