Meet the brainy wall buddy that’s about to make your home way smarter—and slightly sassier. Shelly’s Wall Display doesn’t just sit there like your average light switch; it *watches*, it *learns*, it *responds*—and yeah, it might judge your thermostat choices a little.
Meet the brainy wall buddy that watches, learns, responds—and quietly judges your thermostat crimes.
This isn’t just another gadget tacked onto the wall. It’s a full-on smart home conductor, handling everything from lights to climate with zero need for some clunky extra hub. Wi-Fi? Check. Bluetooth? Double check. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of device integration, but sleek, minimalist, and way more stylish than anything you’d find in a junk drawer.
Available in three sizes—4″, 6.9″, and a massive 10.1″—these displays fit neatly into standard wall boxes, so no renovation chaos. The X2 model even rocks a panoramic view option, because why settle for boring when you can swipe sideways like you’re on a dating app for home controls?
Customizable home screens show real-time temp, humidity, and power use, so you’ll know exactly how much that space heater is costing you while also realizing it’s 78°F in your bedroom—why? Who knows. The touch interface is smooth, responsive, and supports up to six device shortcuts, so your coffee maker, blinds, and favorite mood lighting are all one tap away. It features a built-in 5 A switch for direct control of high-power devices without additional relays.
Sensors do the heavy lifting here: ambient temp, humidity, light levels, even a proximity sensor on the X2 that wakes the screen when you walk by—very “I see you” energy. It acts as a Bluetooth gateway too, linking all your nearby gadgets seamlessly. It also comes bundled with a BLU H&T sensor, ensuring precise temperature and humidity monitoring right out of the box. Like many devices in the Alexa ecosystem, it helps centralize control over your smart home without adding complexity.
Power-wise, it sips less than 1W, and the relay can handle 230V up to 5A, meaning it’s strong enough to manage serious loads, not just dinky desk lamps. There’s even a tiny speaker and mic on the X2, so future updates might let it talk back—hopefully with sarcasm.
You can set 20 smart schedules, automate scenes with webhooks, and yes, it supports MQTT for the tinkerers. With local web server access and scripting options, it’s powerful without being intimidating.
Shelly’s Wall Display doesn’t replace your light switch—it upgrades your entire life, one tap at a time.
