Hey everyone, welcome back to Bud’s Smart Home! Today, I’ll be walking you through the process of adding the affordable and reliable Shelly Qubino Wave Relays to your Homey and SmartThings compatible hubs. Full disclosure: I purchased the relay featured in today’s video, and this content is not sponsored by Shelly or any other brands. So, as always, the opinions are 100% my own.
Now, if you're a smart home enthusiast like me, you're probably familiar with Shelly. It’s one of the fastest-growing smart home brands globally, known for stellar customer support and backing their devices with a 3-year warranty. During the January 2024 Consumer Electronics Show, Shelly made waves (pun intended!) by unveiling their latest Wave line of Z-Wave devices. Recently, Shelly acquired Qubino, one of the largest manufacturers of Z-Wave products. Their Shelly Qubino Wave devices are built on the latest Z-Wave S800 chip, offering cutting-edge performance.
In this article, I’ll review the Shelly Qubino Wave 1 and provide details for sourcing and installing the custom edge driver. Like other Z-Wave relays in Shelly’s lineup, this device is UL-certified and offers impressive specs. It’s a 1-channel, 15A Z-Wave Smart Switch Relay with Dry Contacts and ultra-low power consumption.
If you need power metering, check out the Shelly Wave 1 PM relay.
Need to control two switches? You’ll want the Shelly Wave 2 PM relay.
These relays are ideal for controlling household appliances, electrical circuits, and office equipment. Plus, they double as Z-Wave repeaters, helping extend the range and reliability of your smart home network.
