The Shelly LoRa Add-on is a long-range communications expansion module specifically designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices. This module enables a reliable wireless connection of up to 5 km in open terrain, making it an ideal solution in locations where Wi-Fi or other short-range technologies are not sufficient.

This package contains 2 LoRa Add-on modules, i.e. 1 LoRa Add-on additional module can be installed on both sides for the point-to-point LoRa connection.

Designed for Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 devices, the module takes long-range connectivity to a new level: it provides secure performance in open terrain and reliable operation even in challenging environments. Thanks to the module, you can use Shelly Gen3 and Gen4 retrofit devices even where other technologies no longer work.
This compact small expansion module is an ideal choice for automating city infrastructures, managing remote devices or optimizing precision agriculture. It supports custom scripts, so it can be fully customized according to specific usage needs.

Main features

- Range of up to 5 km: Thanks to Shelly's own LoRa technology, the module can bridge long distances, which can be especially useful in agricultural areas, industrial facilities or urban infrastructures.
- LoRa technology: LoRa technology combined with Shelly's own protocol ensures strong and efficient performance.
- Compact design: The small device can be easily integrated into existing Shelly systems, without taking up much space.
- External antenna: The module has an external antenna that ensures a stable and strong signal even in difficult conditions.
- Easy Installation: The Shelly LoRa Add-on X2 easily connects to compatible Shelly Gen3 and Shelly Gen4 retrofit devices and is quick to deploy.
- Script support: Supports custom scripts for special use cases.

Areas of use

- Monitoring and remote control of gates: monitoring the gate opening motors of larger yards and parking lots in places without Wi-Fi coverage.
