Shelly Group announced the integration of Shelly devices with Brilliant NextGen. The first two Shelly sensors – the Shelly Bluetooth Motion and Shelly Bluetooth Door/Window, as well as the Shelly Bluetooth-to-Wi-Fi gateway and Shelly relay lineup, are fully integrated with the Brilliant platform and available to every Brilliant user.

Brilliant users can now seamlessly sync Shelly sensors into their system in two ways – through a direct Bluetooth connection with Brilliant Controls or via the Shelly Bluetooth-to-Wi-Fi gateway. The Shelly sensors provide the Brilliant platform with real-time awareness of motion, entry/exit activity and occupancy throughout the home.

Shelly Group said the integration will also extend to the Shelly relay lineup, aiming to empower Brilliant users to control and automate switches, outlets and appliances within the home. The Shelly relay integration is set to be released by the end of September and brings previously unconnected wired devices into the Brilliant platform. For frictionless access, compatible Shelly sensors are currently available for purchase directly through the Brilliant online store with additional devices added as the integration continues to expand.

The company said that the announcement is the next step in its collaboration with Brilliant. The two companies plan to broaden their integration with additional sensors and functionality that will further deepen control and optimization across Brilliant homes and systems. The partnership was first previewed alongside the launch of Brilliant Max, Brilliant’s fully managed smart home subscription service, which includes a complimentary Shelly Bluetooth Door/Window Sensor with every subscription.

“The Shelly mission to develop smart solutions that make everyday life easier for our customers pairs naturally with the fully managed experience Brilliant is cultivating for their users,” said Matthew Brown, Chief Marketing Officer for Shelly USA. “What began as the inclusion of a single sensor has continued to evolve into a whole-home integration that helps enable smarter, more capable homes for every Brilliant customer.”

Brilliant Max aims to deliver intelligent automation through pre-configured Modes including Away Mode, Vacation Mode, Home Mode and Night Mode. The included Shelly sensor powers these Modes, serving to expand the system’s awareness of entry/exit activity throughout the home.

“We’re excited to expand our support for additional Shelly capabilities over time to bring even more value to customers who chose Brilliant for their Smart Home control systems. Shelly’s expansive portfolio of reliable sensors and relays significantly expands the reach and depth of the Brilliant platform, helping deliver a home automation experience that simply works,” said Jonathan Temlock, president and CEO of Brilliant NextGen.
