Common questions
No. Shelly DevKit is an independent app published by Sydcup OÜ. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Allterco Robotics or the Shelly brand. “Shelly” is used only to describe compatibility.
To work with your own devices, yes: a Shelly Cloud account with cloud-connected devices. Without logging in, the app runs on a built-in demo inventory, so you can look around, read the API reference and compose recipes first.
Cloud-connected Gen1, Gen2+ and BLU devices: switches and plugs, covers and rollers (with slats where calibrated), dimmers and RGBW lights, and BLU sensors. Devices the app cannot control yet are listed separately, so nothing silently disappears.
No. Every call goes through Shelly Cloud, so the app works the same at home and away. The Gen1 REST and Gen2+ RPC local APIs are documented in the app, with the local equivalent next to each cloud action, ready to copy.
Try it runs only read and control calls. Endpoints that could brick a device — firmware updates, factory reset, settings — are documentation-only.
No. A recipe is exported as an App Intent, so it runs from Siri, Spotlight, widgets or Shortcuts automations while the app stays closed.
In your App Store account settings, like any other subscription. Pro is tied to your Apple ID, not to your Shelly account; Restore purchases in the app's Settings brings it back on another iPhone.
Settings › Privacy › Delete local data wipes everything the app stores on your iPhone. There is no account of ours to delete. Data held by Shelly Cloud is managed in your Shelly account.
Not yet. Shelly DevKit is made for iPhone and requires iOS 17 or later.
