Shelly BLU Gateway is a Bluetooth WiFi gateway in a USB-A dongle. A dongle that acts as a bridge between your Shelly BLU devices and the wider Shelly ecosystem. It receives Bluetooth signals and sends them to the cloud or locally to another non-Bluetooth device. Now all your Shelly devices – not just Plus and Pro – can seamlessly interact with your BLU devices. EXTEND YOUR EXISTING WiFi RANGE – In many homes, a single router is too weak to produce a stable signal that reaches every room, resulting in dead zones and faulty connections. With the Shelly BLU Gateway you can transmit your signal up to 30 m indoors and up to 50 m outdoors. UNIT YOUR SMART DEVICES – IN THE CLOUD OR LOCALLY – Shelly BLU Gateway is a small USB dongle that serves as a gateway between Shelly BLU devices and the Shelly Cloud. If you want to use Shelly Gen-1 devices with Shelly BLU sensors, Shelly BLU Gateway can serve as a gateway to the Shelly Cloud and thus to your existing Gen-1 devices. SHELLY CUSTOMER SERVICE – Shelly is one of the fastest-growing Smart Home brands in the world with devices, providing solutions for the automation of private homes, buildings and businesses. We provide our customers with professional support and a 2 years device warranty. SHELLY SMART CONTROL APP will help you control your Shelly devices remotely and will send notifications for all automated events in your home. You can easily configure devices and manage their settings individually, or you can create personalized scenes by combining Shelly devices to trigger certain actions in your home automation.

Perfect with Home Assistant!
I have a lot of ble temperature sensors around the house and was using both native bluetooth on my intel nuc running HAos and also another bt dongle connected via usb/ethernet extension; but with 3 floors on the house needed another bluetooth gateway. There are plenty of esphome projects to do this, but was impatient and didn’t want to wait for m5 stack atoms I have ordered to come, so took a chance on the shelly gateway with next day arrival.It took a few tries to get this set up onto my network. My last shelly products were natural gas sensors I set up for local control ages ago and control directly from ip address so I hadn’t loaded the app in forever. I opened shelly app to be prompted to install the new shelly app as that one is discontinued. The new app found the gateway immediately once set to scan BT but failed repeatedly to bring it onto the network despite several resets.Finally I went with the alternate route in the instructions which is to pair to its own setup wifi network on your phone and configure from there in a browser. Once I had done that, I reloaded the app and locked the device to its own ip address. Turned off cloud control for the device and removed the app.Home Assistant found the device right away (it popped up on my computer screen while I was deleting shelly app. Configured device for passive scanning (you would want it set to active if using shelly buttons or motion detectors or something like that; for ble sensors, passive is fine).To test that the device was actually pulling data from sensors, I moved it (its a usb stick that plugs into any usb charging brick, its not battery powered) to rooms that had sensors in it far away from the nuc and saw the rssi drop dramatically on next scan. For best usage and aggregration, I positioned the gatway in a recessed outlet in by the 2nd to 3rd floor stairs. Checked data on bluetooth devices the next day and found much better readings for all devices, HA charts were showing mean/median for all devices instead of single readings.This lead me to believe the secondary plugged in bt adapater is conflicting with the built in nuc bluetooth. Despite both being installed and configured it seems only one or the other works (probably why HA recommends mqtt/wifi gateways for bluetooth).I may purchase another so I have gateways on all 3 floors (nuc basement, shelly 1st floor, shelly 2nd floor) and reused the esp devices that eventually will come from china to another project.

Easy to setup and use
I needed a Bluetooth gateway for Home Assistant and this worked. Easy to setup and configure, recognized immediately by HA and the BT temp/humidity sensors I was using.

does what it says at a great price.
takes a bit of getting used to the Shelly product eco system, but they aside from the homework required, you get a lot of bang for the buck.

Replaced my Motion2
This does exactly what my Motion2 does with the exception of not having temperature vibration control detection..

GOOD LUCK #%!*
Just spent 5 infuriating hrs trying to get this working.I want to give my door lock Wi-Fi access so I can control it away from home.Couldn’t get this thing to work with the lock or the TUYA app.Although I am not IT, coder, programmer, my professional field isn’t in tech. I’m definitely not an apple ecosystem “normie” by any stretch and certainly more tech savvy than their “geniuses”.Network and script guys can probably get this going in a breeze. But the rest of us will be chasing down every rabbit trail that “looks” like it “could” work ie.,if this one setting is changed and this one over here isn’t, etc.5 hours passes trying all possible combinations of options each with varying degrees of “almost.. there.. comon… WOrk DMMIT!$!This is perfect for you if you enjoy frustration and cursing aloud.UPDATE: Bought another m, cheap small square looking one with 2 blinking lights. I kid you not, set up my lock with WiFi access in less than 3 minutes.5hrs. VS 3mins !!!!!Maybe good for lesser known protocols like MQTT. But for simple bridging of Bluetooth IOT devices to WiFi , this is not it.

It was a nightmare trying to set it up
Returned it to seller. Way too much trouble to set it up
