New Features and Improvements in Shelly App Version 3.65.9

shelly

The Shelly App has recently received a comprehensive update to version 3.65.9. This update brings exciting new features like experimental functions, mathematical scene conditions, and improved Bluetooth device management. Additionally, numerous changes and bug fixes have been implemented to optimize the user experience.

Key Highlights

  • Experimental features can now be activated through app settings
  • Mathematical operations can be used as conditions in scenes
  • Additional devices can be treated as independent devices
  • Improved management of Shelly BLU through Bluetooth gateways
  • Support for Shelly X devices in scenes
  • Revised user interface with updated device avatars

New Features in Detail

Experimental Features

With this update, you can now access experimental features. In the app settings, you’ll find a new option that allows you to activate and try these features before they are officially available to all users.

Mathematical Scene Conditions

One of the most exciting experimental features is mathematical scene conditions. After activation, you can use basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) when defining scene triggers. This significantly expands the possibilities for more complex automated processes.

Additional Devices as Independent Units

Another experimental feature allows you to treat add-on modules such as sensors, switches, and inputs as independent devices. After activation, you can ‘extract’ each additional device from its parent device in the app and manage it separately.

Shelly BLU and Gateway Management

The management of Shelly BLU devices has been improved. You can now assign and manage BLU devices in the ‘Bluetooth Settings’ section of your Bluetooth gateway devices. Additionally, a special filter has been added to the device list to quickly display all Shelly BLU products.

Shelly X Support

With this update, Shelly X devices can now be used as scene conditions or action triggers in your automated processes, expanding the integration possibilities of the system.

Improvements and Changes

Group Control Optimized

The group control for lights and shutters has been improved. The starting positions now default to your last setting rather than individual device levels, allowing for more consistent control.

Improved Workflow

The process for deleting rooms has been revised. When you delete a room, you can now choose a destination for the devices contained within, instead of having them automatically moved to the hidden area.

UI Improvements

The icon sets for all device thumbnails have been updated, resulting in a more modern and uniform user interface. Additionally, scenes, thermostats, and alarms now display a label when a referenced device is missing, making troubleshooting easier.

PV Setup

The calculations of the PV setup function have been slightly adjusted. A complete revision based on user feedback is already in progress and will be available in an upcoming beta version.

Bug Fixes

Device-Specific Fixes

Several device-specific issues have been fixed, including:

  • The missing ‘Blinds Settings’ option for Pro Dual Cover devices has been restored
  • The missing ‘Reverse Measurement Direction’ option for Pro EM (50) has been restored
  • Security settings have been adapted for GEN4 devices

UI and User Experience

Several issues with the user interface have been fixed:

  • Correct display of which devices are activated as gateways for the selected Shelly BLU device
  • The ‘Current Status’ option has been disabled as intended when using Edge
  • Unreadable action buttons in certain languages have been corrected
  • Fixed an issue where custom avatar images were not displayed for other logged-in accounts

Integration Adjustments

An issue has been fixed where the Zendure scene triggers for battery status were not working correctly.

I have been fascinated by everything to do with technology for many years, especially when it comes to making my own home smarter and more comfortable. For me, a smart home is not just a technical gimmick, but above all a real improvement in quality of life. It all started very small with a networked thermostat, but this little experiment quickly turned into a great passion. My home now comprises a sophisticated system of lighting control, heating automation and security solutions that make my everyday life noticeably easier. For me, a smart home is much more than just technology: it means convenience, sustainability and a real improvement in quality of life. It is particularly important to me that systems are intuitive to use and can be easily integrated into everyday life, regardless of brand or manufacturer. My vision is a home that not only reacts to commands, but also thinks and acts with foresight. I dream of a smart home that saves energy, adapts individually to residents and the environment and always puts people at the center.

Here on my blog, I share personal experiences, helpful tips and interesting insights on the topic of smart homes.
I'm particularly looking forward to exchanging ideas with you, whether you're just starting out with your smart home or are already a real pro.
