Shelly Dimmer GEN4 — Smart Dimming with Matter, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Bluetooth

Lighting is one of the most important elements in any home. The right brightness can create the perfect atmosphere for relaxation, work or entertainment — and with the Shelly Dimmer GEN4, that control is literally at your fingertips. This is the most advanced Shelly dimmer yet — with Matter certification, four wireless protocols, and the ability to install even without a neutral wire.

What Is the Shelly Dimmer GEN4?

The Shelly Dimmer GEN4 is a smart dimmer controller — a compact device that fits behind your existing switch and gives smart capabilities to any dimmable light. No changing the switch, no renovation, no visible changes — your home looks the same, but works smart.

With support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee and Matter simultaneously, the Shelly Dimmer GEN4 is one of the most flexible dimmers on the market — works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Home Assistant and Samsung SmartThings.

Why Is GEN4 Special?

Matter Certification — Universal Compatibility

Matter certification is perhaps the biggest news in GEN4. This means the Shelly Dimmer GEN4 works directly with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Home Assistant — no intermediaries, no proprietary apps, no compromises. Buy it once and it works with everything.

Four Protocols — Maximum Flexibility

The Shelly Dimmer GEN4 supports four wireless protocols:

• Wi-Fi — direct connection to your home network, no hub needed

• Bluetooth — for initial setup and local control

• Zigbee — for integration into Zigbee mesh networks

• Matter — the universal smart home standard

You can choose which protocol suits you best — and switch at any time.

Works With or Without a Neutral Wire

This is a huge advantage for older homes where there is no neutral wire behind the switch. The Shelly Dimmer GEN4 works without a neutral wire — just keep in mind: a neutral wire is required for energy consumption monitoring.

Precise Brightness Control

The Shelly Dimmer GEN4 offers precise adjustment:

• Minimum and maximum brightness — set limits that suit your lights

• Dimming speed — how quickly or slowly the brightness changes

• Night mode — automatic reduction during specific hours

• Schedules — synchronise with sunrise and sunset

Supported Light Types

• Dimmable LED lamps up to 150W

• Incandescent bulbs up to 200W

• Halogen lamps up to 200W

• Low-voltage transformers up to 200VA

• Dimmable electronic transformers up to 200W

  
  

Smart Features That Change Everyday Life

Automations with Motion Sensors

Connect the Shelly Dimmer GEN4 with a Shelly BLU Motion sensor — lights automatically turn on when movement is detected and turn off when no one is around. Perfect for hallways, bathrooms and garages.

Scenes and Schedules

Create scenes that match your rhythm:

• Good Morning — gradual brightness increase when waking up

• Work Mode — maximum brightness for concentration

• Movie Night — minimal, warm lighting

• Leaving Home — automatic turn-off of all lights

Energy Consumption Monitoring (with neutral wire)

Track how much electricity your lights consume in real time. This is especially useful for commercial spaces and offices where energy costs matter.

Who Is the Shelly Dimmer GEN4 For?

For homes: Create the perfect atmosphere for every occasion — a romantic dinner, a family lunch, or a quiet evening in front of the TV.

For offices: Adjust brightness for maximum productivity and reduce electricity costs.

For hotels and restaurants: The Shelly Dimmer GEN4 is ideal for hotel rooms, restaurants and bars where atmosphere is key — soft and relaxing at night, lively and pleasant during the day.

For Home Assistant users: Native integration via Matter or Zigbee — complete flexibility for advanced automations.
