Product description: Shelly Dimmer Gen4 - smart light dimmer WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Matter
The Shelly Dimmer Gen4 allows you to conveniently control dimmable lighting via an app, web interface, home automation system, or traditional buttons and switches. WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Matter support facilitate integration with various smart home systems, including Home Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings . The controller allows you to adjust the minimum and maximum brightness levels, dimming speed, and transition time for turning the lights on and off. Night mode, schedules, scripts, and local actions further enable you to tailor lighting to your daily needs.
Note: When operating without a neutral wire, at loads below 20 W , a Shelly Bypass is required.
Main features of the Shelly dimmer
- Multi-protocol connectivity : WiFi, Bluetooth, ZigBee and Matter provide extensive integration with smart home systems
- Operation without a neutral wire : the device can also be installed in older installations where a neutral wire is not available
- Compatible with a variety of light sources : works with dimmable LED lamps up to 150W, incandescent and halogen lamps up to 200W and compatible transformers
- Precise brightness control : allows you to set the minimum and maximum brightness levels and the speed of the lighting change
- Automatic dimming calibration : helps achieve smooth adjustment across the entire operating range of the connected light source
- Gamma Correction : Adjusts the control characteristics so that brightness changes are perceived as more even.
- Night mode : allows you to automatically set the selected brightness level at specific times
- Smart schedules : allow you to change the brightness of your lights according to your schedule and the time of sunrise and sunset
- Automatic timers : support automatic light on and off
- Local control : the device can operate on a local WiFi network without the need to constantly use cloud services
- Switch and button operation : Two inputs S1 and S2 allow the use of existing controls and single or dual button operation.
- Motion automation : When connected to Shelly BLU Motion, the light can be automatically activated when motion is detected
- KNXnet/IP support: extends the possibilities of using the device in more advanced automation installations
- MQTT and Webhooks support : allows you to integrate the dimmer with your own IoT and local automation systems
- Scripts : allow you to create your own action scenarios directly on your device
- ZigBee Repeater : The device can extend the ZigBee network coverage for other IoT devices.
- WiFi Range Extender : WiFi Range Extender allows you to extend the range of your wireless network
- BLE Gateway : The BLE Gateway feature facilitates communication between Bluetooth devices and Wi-Fi-based solutions.
Applications of an intelligent lighting controller
The Shelly Dimmer Gen4 is perfect for upgrading your home lighting without replacing existing switches . It can control lights in the living room, bedroom, hallway, children's room, or office space, allowing you to adjust the brightness to the time of day and your current needs. Schedules and night mode allow you to automatically dim the brightness in the evening, while integration with a motion sensor allows you to automatically turn on lights in hallways, closets, garages, and stairwells. Support for Matter, ZigBee, MQTT, and KNXnet/IP means the module can also be part of more complex home and building automation installations.

Shelly Dimmer Gen4 does not require a neutral wire connection, but a bypass is necessary for loads below 20 W.
