As a newcomer to the world of home automation, I’ve been excited to dive into the capabilities of Shelly products. Their affordability and seamless integration with Home Assistant (HA) have made them a fantastic choice for my setup. However, one feature that has piqued my curiosity is the Bluetooth functionality present in all Shelly devices. While I primarily use them for their Wi-Fi connectivity, I’m eager to explore if there’s more to Bluetooth than just the sensor capabilities they currently offer.
I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to leverage the Bluetooth radios in Shelly products for more advanced applications, such as building a Matter over Thread network or even streaming music—a playful thought, though I’m not sure if it’s feasible! It would be incredible to see if these devices can support novel use cases beyond their current ecosystem. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experimented with Bluetooth on Shelly products or has insights into its potential applications.
In my journey, I’ve discovered the vibrant community here, which has been invaluable in troubleshooting and learning. For instance, I’ve come across posts about using multiple Raspberry Pis for Bluetooth tracking across different floors, which I find fascinating. It’s inspiring to see how creative solutions can be implemented with existing hardware.
If anyone has experiences or tips regarding Bluetooth functionality in Shelly devices, or ideas on how to integrate multiple devices for comprehensive home automation, I’d be thrilled to hear from you. Let’s explore the possibilities together and push the boundaries of what these devices can achieve!
