Does the Shelly Wave 1 Mini need a Z-Wave hub?

Yes. The module talks only over Z-Wave and must join a network created by a certified Z-Wave controller or hub, such as an 800-series stick in Home Assistant or a SmartThings hub. Without a hub it cannot be configured.

What maximum load can the module switch?

The dry-contact output handles up to 8 A and 2000 W on AC at 240 V, or 5 A on DC at 30 V.

What frequency does it use in Europe?

It runs on the European Z-Wave 868.4 MHz band using the latest Z-Wave 800 (S800) chip, separate from 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.

Does it measure energy consumption?

No. This version only switches the load and does not report power. For consumption metering there is the Wave 1PM Mini version.

Does it fit behind an ordinary switch?

Yes. At 29x35x16 mm and about 19 g, the module fits behind a standard switch or inside a ceiling box.

How does it connect to Apple Home or Google Home?

Indirectly, through the Z-Wave hub. Once added to the hub (for example Home Assistant or SmartThings), the gateway can expose it in Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa.

About this product

Shelly Wave 1 Mini is a compact Z-Wave relay that switches a single circuit up to 8 A and fits behind an ordinary switch inside a wall box. The module is built on the Z-Wave 800 (S800) chip, runs on the European 868.4 MHz band and supports S2 security plus quick SmartStart QR-code inclusion.<br><br>Its dry-contact output controls lighting, sockets or small motors, while the repeater mode extends mesh-network coverage. The module does not measure energy consumption. To configure it and bridge it to Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa you need a certified Z-Wave hub, such as a controller with an 800-series stick in Home Assistant or a SmartThings hub.

Smart scenarios

Three typical automations we set up after the install.

01Morning: warm light + blinds up + climate at 22 °C
02Leaving: lights off, arm sensors, close the gas
03Evening: warm ambient + cinema scene

Where it works

Use cases

In a Chisinau apartment the living-room light switches on and off from the Z-Wave hub app or by voice.

The module sits in a ceiling box and turns the fixture into a controllable circuit.

A circulation pump in a country house runs on schedule through scenes defined in the hub.

The potential- output starts a separate load without interfering with its supply.

In a two-storey house the device in the hallway strengthens the link to upstairs sensors.

Acting as a repeater, the module helps the Z-Wave signal reach distant rooms.

Analytics

See consumption — save on bills

Real-time consumption tracking via the eWeLink app. Daily, weekly and monthly history helps identify the most energy-hungry devices.
