Main features

• Wi-Fi Connectivity: The device can connect to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to remotely monitor humidity and temperature data through a smartphone app or other compatible devices.

• Large E-Paper Graphic Display: It features a large e-paper graphic display that provides clear and easy-to-read humidity and temperature information.

• Digital clock: NTP-synchronized real-time clock.

• Integration with Smart Home Platforms: You can integrate the Shelly H&T Gen3 with popular smart home platforms, including Google, Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings. This enables voice control and automation capabilities through these platforms.

• USB Type-C Port: It includes a USB Type-C port for powering the device. While it cannot be used to charge the device's batteries, it allows for continuous power through a USB connection.

• Bluetooth Connectivity: Bluetooth is available for inclusion purposes, which may be useful during the setup process.

• User-Friendly Interface: The device provides a user-friendly interface with a reset button for manual interactions.

• Battery Operation: When running on batteries, the device wakes up at set intervals to take measurements of humidity and temperature. It reports changes in data based on predefined thresholds and unconditionally reports its status to the cloud if no reports are made within a specified time.

• USB-Powered Operation: When powered via its USB port, the device wakes up more frequently, performs measurements, updates its display, and unconditionally reports data to connected channels.

• Environmental Specifications: The device is designed for use in various environments, with an operational temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 105°F) and a recommended humidity range of 30% to 70% RH.

• Power Supply Options: It can be powered by 4 AA batteries (not included) or a USB Type-C connection.

• Wireless Connectivity: The device supports Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 4.2 protocols with specified indoor and outdoor range capabilities.

• MCU (Microcontroller Unit): The device is equipped with an ESP-Shelly-C38F with 8 MB of flash memory.

These features make the Shelly H&T Gen3 a versatile and convenient device for monitoring humidity and temperature in residential, multi-dwelling units, light commercial, university/college, and other settings, with the added benefits of smart home integration and ease of use.

Measuring and reporting

On batteries

When running on batteries the Device behaves as follows:

1. Wakes up every minute to do a measurement. If there is a 0.2 °C temperature or 3% humidity difference the screen updates. The default threshold for reporting is a change of 0.5 °C or 5%. If the change is less there will be no report sent.

2. If for two hours there is no report based on threshold values, the Device unconditionally (disregarding threshold values) reports its status to Shelly Cloud and other connected channels.

3. Due to self-heating a cool down period of 5 minutes is imposed. During this period the Device would not wake up at all.

On USB power supply

If powered via its USB port the Device will wake up every 5 minutes, perform a measurement, update its screen, unconditionally report to all connected channels, and sleep for 5 minutes.

User initiated report

If the user presses the Reset button (behind the cover) the Device will wake up, perform a measurement, update its screen, unconditionally report to all connected channels, and sleep for 5 minutes.

What are the differences between the different generations of Shelly products?

Each new generation adds more power, memory, and features:

Gen 1 offers basic control;

Gen 2 (Plus Series, Mini Series, Pro Series) adds Bluetooth, scripting, and better security;

Gen 3 improves performance, adds Matter (starting from firmware version 1.6.0 or newer) and advanced monitoring;

Gen 4 offers multi-protocol connectivity, featuring Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Matter.

Can I control the device via Bluetooth?

No, the protocol is used only for device inclusion, allowing for quick and easy setup through the Shelly Smart Control app.

For bluetooth control it is required to have another Bluetooth device such as Shelly BLU Button or Shelly BLU Motion to interact.

Additionally, Shelly devices can function as a BLE gateway, bridging Shelly BLU devices to your Wi-Fi network.

Is it possible to use the device without a hub?

Yes, Shelly devices (except for Wave devices) operate independently without the need for a hub. They connect directly to your Wi-Fi network, and you can control them via the Shelly Smart Control app, web interface, or through integrations with platforms like Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings.
