The Shelly Wave PM is a smart relay module with energy monitoring, part of the Shelly Wave product family, utilizing the Z-Wave protocol for communication (868.42 MHz in Europe). As a smart home protocol, Z-Wave is specifically designed for communication between smart devices. The sub-gigahertz frequency ensures reliable signal propagation, and the Z-Wave MESH network topology allows devices further from the central unit to communicate effectively by using continuously powered devices as repeaters.
Z-Wave devices require a Z-Wave Hub or USB coordinator (connectable to a mini PC) for operation. The Z-Wave protocol uses standardized command classes (Command Class), making it compatible with thousands of products from different brands. A Z-Wave network can include up to 232 devices. Z-Wave also supports association groups, enabling direct linkages between devices within the network. Numerous parameters can be customized at the protocol level, catering to sophisticated user needs.
Key Features
- Power Supply: Operates on 230V AC.
- Output: The maximum combined power of connected consumers is 3840W (max. 16A).
