The Shelly Plug M Gen3 smart socket is an indoor switching socket with consumption measurement, designed for remote control of electrical devices via Wi-Fi. The set contains two pieces in white, which allows simultaneous control of two different devices or use in multiple rooms at home. It is intended for those who want to easily control electricity consumption, turn devices on and off, and automate routine tasks without interfering with the electrical wiring.

It works by connecting to a smartphone or tablet via a free app, but can also be integrated into integrated smart systems via the Matter protocol. This supports wider compatibility with other smart devices, allowing for easy expansion of the user's smart home. Via the Wi-Fi interface, you can monitor the status and energy consumption live, for each individual connection separately.

The set maximum switching capacity of up to 3000 W allows you to connect most household appliances, such as heaters, coffee makers, lights or electronic devices. This means that you can use smart control in practically every room in your home, while monitoring how much energy each device consumes, thus better managing costs and optimizing usage.

Designed for indoor use, the Shelly Plug M Gen3 includes a precise power metering feature that helps you understand your usage over time. It allows you to turn on and off your devices automatically based on a schedule or remote command, which is especially practical if you often forget to turn off a device or want to turn on your lights in the evening with your phone.

It is important to know

When choosing a smart plug like this Shelly Plug M Gen3, it's crucial to understand which features will make the biggest difference in practice—especially connectivity, power consumption, and performance. It's also important to pay attention to how well the plug will integrate with your existing smart home and which features you'll actually use.

• Despite Matter support, check to see if the rest of your smart home is already compatible or if other devices will need to be upgraded – Matter is most beneficial in multi-platform environments.
• The maximum capacity of 3000 W allows it to be used with most household appliances, but be aware of the actual consumption of the devices you will be connecting.
• Communication via Wi-Fi opens up possibilities for fast connection without additional devices, but requires a stable wireless network - the socket is not ideal for rooms with limited signal range.
• A two-piece set makes more sense if you are already planning multi-point control or want to start with basic automation - to expand the system, also look at the wider range and protocols.
