Shelly expands its smart home portfolio with Wall Display X1i and BLU Motion ZB - techbuzzireland.com

Shelly Group has introduced two new additions to its smart home portfolio, designed to make connected living more intuitive, responsive and energy efficient. The new Shelly Wall Display X1i and Shelly BLU Motion ZB help homeowners control devices, automate everyday routines and gain greater visibility into energy consumption throughout the home.

Together, the two devices help create smarter, more personalised living spaces, whether automating lighting, monitoring energy use or providing convenient control of connected devices from a central location.

 Shelly Wall Display X1i – A smarter way to control your home

At the heart of the launch is the Shelly Wall Display X1i, a smart control panel featuring a 4-inch high-resolution colour display and a sleek, modern design. Designed to fit standard European flush-mount wall boxes, it can replace a traditional light switch while providing access to a wide range of smart home functions.

The Wall Display X1i acts as a central hub for connected devices throughout the home and includes a built-in relay for direct control of lighting and electrical appliances. It also features proximity, luminosity (lux) and gesture sensors, allowing the display to respond naturally to user interaction and changing conditions within the room.

Powered by an ultra-fast quad-core processor, the Wall Display X1i delivers smooth performance and extensive customisation options. Users can personalise home screens, create shortcuts to favourite scenes and automations, and monitor energy consumption in real time, making smart home control simpler and more accessible for every member of the household.

Shelly BLU Motion ZB – Intelligent automation with up to five years of battery life

Joining the Wall Display X1i is the Shelly BLU Motion ZB, a compact wireless motion sensor designed to support smarter automations based on movement and ambient light levels.

Combining Zigbee and Bluetooth connectivity, the sensor integrates seamlessly with the Shelly ecosystem and a wide range of compatible smart home platforms. Its PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects movement, while the integrated lux sensor measures ambient light levels, allowing automations to respond intelligently to conditions within the room.

For example, lights can be switched on automatically when someone enters a room after dark, while avoiding unnecessary activation during daylight hours. This helps improve convenience while reducing wasted energy.

Powered by a CR2477 battery, the Shelly BLU Motion ZB can operate for up to five years before requiring replacement. Installation is quick and tool-free, with the sensor easily mounted on walls, ceilings or other surfaces using the included self-adhesive mounting pad.

Designed for modern smart homes

The Shelly Wall Display X1i and Shelly BLU Motion ZB reflect Shelly’s continued focus on delivering flexible, user-friendly smart home solutions that work seamlessly together. From intuitive device control and intelligent lighting automation to improved energy awareness, the new additions help homeowners create smarter, more comfortable and more efficient living environments.
