The Shelly LoRa Add-on is a long-range communication expansion module specifically designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices. This module enables reliable wireless communication of up to 5 km in open areas, making it an ideal solution for locations where Wi-Fi or other short-range technologies are insufficient.
This package contains 2 pcs LoRa Add-on modules, meaning that one module can be installed on each end to establish a point-to-point LoRa connection.
The module designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 devices elevates long-distance connectivity to a new level: it delivers secure performance in open areas and ensures reliable operation even in challenging environments. Thanks to this module, Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices can be used even where other technologies no longer work.
This compact little expansion module is an ideal choice for automating urban infrastructures, managing remote devices, or optimizing precision agriculture. It supports custom scripts, making it fully customizable to meet specific application needs.
