The Shelly BLU H&T Display ZB is one of the world’s thinnest smart sensors with built-in temperature, humidity, and brightness display. Thanks to its compact size and elegant design, it can be discreetly placed in almost any indoor environment. The product is an excellent choice for homes, offices, or commercial spaces, where continuous monitoring of environmental conditions can support complex automations, including acting as an additional sensor for heating and cooling systems.
The device monitors temperature, humidity, and ambient light levels in real time, displaying the information on an extremely energy-efficient e-paper display. The display also supports color inversion, allowing you to choose between light and dark backgrounds for improved readability. The built-in digital clock and date display ensure that important information is always visible.
The Shelly BLU H&T Display ZB supports both Bluetooth 5.0 and Zigbee 3.0 communication, allowing flexible integration into various smart home systems. It works seamlessly with Shelly devices as well as many third-party platforms and automation systems. Based on the measured data, automations can be created for heating, humidification, ventilation, shading, or lighting control.
Thanks to its energy-efficient hardware and two CR2032 batteries, the device can operate for up to 2 years without battery replacement. In dark environments, the display automatically switches to power-saving mode while wireless communication remains active.
The package includes multiple installation options: it can be used with a desk or shelf stand, magnetically attached to metal surfaces, or mounted on walls and vertical surfaces using the included adhesive metal plate.
About the Shelly Brand
Shelly is one of the most recognized and innovative smart home brands in Europe, developed by the Bulgarian company Allterco Robotics. The manufacturer is particularly strong in the market of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-based smart devices, whose main advantage is that they typically operate without a central hub, allowing quick and easy installation with only a working Wi-Fi network.
The Shelly product portfolio is extremely broad and includes relays, sensors, smart plugs, lighting solutions, and professional DIN rail mounted devices. The brand places strong emphasis on local control, meaning devices can continue operating without internet access, providing improved reliability and data security.
Shelly devices offer advanced integration options with native support for REST API, MQTT, and Webhook communication, making them easy to integrate with systems such as Home Assistant, openHAB, Node-RED, and other DIY solutions. They are also compatible with popular cloud platforms including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
The manufacturer continuously develops its products, and the latest generations already include Bluetooth gateway, Wi-Fi range extender, and additional networking functions. Shelly products are especially popular among advanced users and installers while remaining easy enough for beginners.
