Start smart-home without replacing everything

People often think you need an expensive hub and building works to "make your home smart". Wrong. You can start with a single module behind a switch and expand room by room, at your own pace.

01

The in-wall relay: the ideal entry point

A module like the Shelly Plus 1PM slips behind an existing switch. Your wall switch keeps working normally, but you gain remote control, scheduling and power metering to the watt. Nothing visibly changes in the room.

02

Local first, cloud second

The decisive advantage: these modules run locally, without depending on a remote server. Your scenes keep running even without Internet, and nothing stops if a service shuts down. The cloud stays available for remote control, optionally.

03

The Fleetiox verdict

Start with a relay on the light you switch on most, plus a smart plug to cut standby. Two modules, one weekend, and you'll know whether smart-home is for you — no commitment.
