Smart Home Automation Without Replacing Everything
JP Electrical Installers provides professional smart-home installation using Shelly products for homes and small businesses throughout Perth.
Shelly devices can add smart control to existing lights, switches, power circuits, appliances and other electrical equipment while allowing many existing wall switches to remain in use.
This makes Shelly a practical option for upgrading an existing home without installing a completely new automation system.
What Can Be Automated?
Shelly products can be used for a wide range of applications, including:
- Smart lighting control
- Timer and schedule control
- Exhaust fans
- Outdoor and garden lighting
- Garage doors and gates
- Electric hot-water systems
- Pool and irrigation equipment
- Appliance and circuit monitoring
- Energy usage monitoring
- Solar power management
- Heating and cooling controls
- Remote switching of electrical equipment
Automation can be kept simple or expanded over time as your needs change.
Keep Your Existing Wall Switches
One of the main advantages of Shelly products is that selected devices can be installed behind existing switches or inside suitable electrical enclosures.
This means you can continue using familiar wall switches while also gaining smart control through:
- A mobile phone
- Voice assistants
- Timers and schedules
- Motion sensors
- Smart-home dashboards
- Home Assistant
- Automated routines
The system can be designed so essential lighting and equipment can still be operated manually if the internet or smart-home controller is unavailable.
Shelly Energy Monitoring
Selected Shelly products can monitor the electricity consumption of individual appliances, circuits or an entire property.
Energy monitoring can help you understand:
- Which appliances use the most power
- When electricity is being consumed
- Solar production and grid usage
- Heating and cooling energy costs
- Hot-water energy consumption
- Standby power usage
- Unexpected increases in consumption
This information can be displayed in the Shelly app or integrated into compatible smart-home systems.
Home Assistant Integration
Shelly devices are a popular choice for Home Assistant installations because they can provide reliable local control and detailed device information.
We can assist with:
- Installing and configuring Shelly devices
- Connecting devices to your network
- Adding devices to Home Assistant
- Creating dashboards
- Setting up timers and automations
- Energy monitoring
- Notifications and alerts
- Linking lighting, solar, security and climate systems
Automations can be designed around time, movement, temperature, energy usage, solar production or whether someone is home.
Smart Lighting
Shelly devices can add smart control to selected lighting circuits while retaining normal wall-switch operation.
Possible features include:
- Automatic outdoor lighting
- Motion-activated lights
- Sunset and sunrise schedules
- Remote control
- Dimming with compatible equipment
- Holiday lighting schedules
- Automatic shutdown of forgotten lights
- Lighting scenes for different activities
Solar and Energy Automation
Shelly energy monitoring can also be used to help manage household electricity consumption.
Depending on the equipment installed, automations may be created to operate selected loads when excess solar power is available.
Possible examples include:
- Electric hot-water heating
- Pool equipment
- EV charging equipment
- Air conditioning
- Battery charging
- Other suitable appliances
Every installation is assessed to ensure the proposed equipment and automation are suitable for the electrical load.
Professional Electrical Installation
Shelly devices connected to fixed electrical wiring must be installed safely and correctly by a licensed electrician.
Before installation, we assess:
- The existing wiring
- Switchboard condition
- Available space behind switches
- Electrical load
- Network coverage
- Manual-control requirements
- Compatibility with existing equipment
- The best location for each device
We then install, test and configure the system for reliable everyday use.
