Shelly LoRa Add-on

The Shelly LoRa Add-on typically requires a power supply ranging from 12V to 24V DC. Ensure that the wiring used can handle the required amperage, which should not exceed the manufacturer's specified limits. Additionally, check if a neutral wire is necessary for your specific installation scenario, as some setups may require it for optimal functionality.

To install the Shelly LoRa Add-on, mount it on a DIN rail and connect the power supply according to the wiring diagram provided in the installation manual. Ensure all connections are secure and consider the installation depth to fit your electrical enclosure. Once wired, configure the device using the Shelly app or compatible home automation platforms.

Yes, the Shelly LoRa Add-on is compatible with Home Assistant. You can integrate it using MQTT, which allows for real-time communication with other smart home devices. Ensure you configure the MQTT settings correctly in both the Shelly interface and Home Assistant for seamless integration.
