Introduction to Shelly devices
Shelly® is a line of innovative microprocessor-managed devices, which
allow remote control of electric appliances through a mobile phone,
tablet, PC or home automation system. Shelly® devices can work stand-
alone in a local Wi-Fi network or they can also be operated through cloud
home automation services. Shelly® devices can be accessed, controlled
and monitored remotely from any place the user has internet connectiv-
ity, as long as the devices are connected to a Wi-Fi router and the Inter-
net. Shelly® devices have built-in web servers through which the user
can adjust, control and monitor them. The cloud function can be used if
it is activated through the web server of the device or the settings in the
Shelly Cloud mobile application. The user can register and access Shelly
Cloud using either Android or iOS mobile application, or with any internet
browser at https://my.shelly.cloud.
Shelly® devices have two Wi-Fi modes - Access Point (AP) and Client
mode (CM). To operate in Client Mode, a Wi-Fi router must be located
within the range of the device. Shelly® devices can communicate directly
with other Wi-Fi devices through HTTP protocol. An API is provided by
Allterco Robotics EOOD. For more information, please visit
https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#shelly-family-overview or contact

Shelly® TRV (the Device) is an intelligent Wi-Fi connected, self-regulating
valve tted to a hot water heating system radiator. It can control the tem-
perature of a room by changing the ow of the hot water through the radi-
ator. Shelly® TRV can maintain the room temperature according to a set
weekly schedule. If needed, the temperature can be changed at any time
by pressing the buttons on the device, or through your mobile phone, tab-
let or PC. Shelly® TRV is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery. The
battery can be recharged via a USB-C connector. Shelly® TRV is designed
to work without recharging for 2 years, but this depends on the specic
working conditions, such as how often it is necessary to adjust the hot
water ow, Wi-Fi signal strength and wireless network quality.

Installation Instructions
CAUTION! The product is intended for indoor use only.
CAUTION! Protect the product from dirt and moisture.
CAUTION! Do not use the product in a damp environment and avoid
splashing water.
CAUTION! Ensure that the radiator is turned off and has cooled down
before beginning the Device installation.
Compatible valves
If you already have thermostatic radiator valves, which typically have a
dial on top with numbers from 1 to 5, most probably, your radiators are
compatible with Shelly® TRV. Check the list of compatible radiator valves
by brand and model at https://shelly.cloud/knowledge-base/devices/
shelly-trv/.
Radiators with manual valves are not compatible with Shelly® TRV. Man-
ual valves are typically small and discrete. They are standard when you
have a separate thermostat in the room or a central thermostat.
If your radiator valves are not compatible you can use one of the adapters
included in the box.

Overview

The Shelly TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve) is an intelligent, Wi-Fi connected, self-regulating valve designed to control the temperature of a room by adjusting the flow of hot water through a heating system radiator. It allows for remote control via a mobile phone, tablet, or PC, and can operate standalone within a local Wi-Fi network or through cloud home automation services. The device is part of the Shelly line of microprocessor-managed devices, which are accessible, controlled, and monitored remotely from any location with internet connectivity, provided they are connected to a Wi-Fi router.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Shelly TRV is to maintain a desired room temperature according to a set weekly schedule. Users can adjust the temperature at any time by pressing the physical buttons on the device, or through the Shelly Cloud mobile application or a web interface. The device features a built-in web server for adjustment, control, and monitoring, and supports both Access Point (AP) and Client mode for Wi-Fi connectivity. In Client Mode, it requires a Wi-Fi router within range. The Shelly TRV can communicate directly with other Wi-Fi devices via HTTP protocol and offers an API for developers. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control functionalities.

Usage Features:

  • Installation: Before installation, ensure the radiator is turned off and cooled down. The Shelly TRV is designed to replace existing thermostatic radiator valves. Users first turn the existing valve's dial counter-clockwise to fully open it, then unscrew the metal ring to remove it. For the Shelly TRV, users may need to mount a suitable adapter (included in the box if needed) before fastening the device to the radiator valve by turning the metal ring clockwise. The metal ring should not be fully tightened until the device display is in the correct position. Attempting to rotate the device when the metal ring is fully tightened can cause damage.
  • Calibration: After installation, a brief press of the Reset button switches on the device. The screen will display "CL" and the internal motor will turn in both directions, initiating the calibration process. A successful calibration displays "RP," indicating readiness for Wi-Fi network connection. An "El" message indicates unsuccessful calibration, suggesting the ring might not be tightened enough or the device is improperly mounted. In such cases, users should re-tighten the ring or re-mount the device carefully, then press and hold any of the Up or Down buttons for 3 seconds, followed by a couple of presses of the Down button to retry calibration.
  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: The device can be connected to a Wi-Fi network in Client Mode via the Shelly Cloud app or its embedded web interface. If the device is not added to a Wi-Fi network within 3 minutes, it will switch off, requiring a brief press of the Reset button to restart. The device can also be manually switched off by briefly pressing the Reset button while in AP mode.
  • Temperature Control:
    • On-Device Buttons: Briefly pressing any button displays the measured room temperature for 3 seconds. Pressing and holding a button for 3 seconds displays the current temperature with a dot, allowing users to set a new target temperature between 5°C and 30°C using the Up or Down buttons. "LO" indicates a fully closed valve, and "HI" indicates a fully open valve.
    • Shelly Cloud App/Web Interface: Room temperature can also be monitored and controlled through the Shelly Cloud app or the device's web interface, where red and blue arrows are used to set the target temperature. A dot flashes briefly on the display when the device receives the new target temperature.
  • Scheduling: The Shelly TRV supports up to 5 pre-set profiles for weekly temperature control, with up to 20 temperature changes per profile. Scheduling can be activated and set via the Shelly Cloud app or the device's web interface. Users can select a profile, disable scheduling, add/remove/edit temperature changes, and rename profiles.
  • External Temperature Sensor: To address slight deviations from actual room temperature due to the device's proximity to the radiator, the Shelly TRV supports communication with an external temperature sensor (e.g., Shelly H&T) or a compatible one located elsewhere in the room. This feature can be enabled via the Shelly Cloud app or the device's web interface under "Sensor Settings," where users can check the "Enable external temperature corrections endpoint" checkbox and set a manual temperature offset if desired.
  • Device Status Check: Pressing and holding both Up and Down buttons for 5 seconds allows users to scroll through parameters like Mode (RP for Access Point, St for Station, C for connected), Battery level (b_ for <50%, b= for 50-75%, = for >90%), and Status (ED for no issues, El for calibration problem, E2 for temperature sensor problem).

Maintenance Features:

  • Charging: The device is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery and recharged via a USB-C connector. It is recommended to fully charge the device for about 7 hours before its first use. During charging, the battery status is displayed, with a flashing line indicating charging and a dot next to the bottom line when a charger is connected. If the battery level is not displayed, a brief press of the Reset button will show it. The device heats up during charging, which can temporarily affect room temperature measurements. Only USB-C standard charging adapters should be used, and the device should not be used if the adapter or cable is damaged.
  • Durability: The Shelly TRV is designed to work without recharging for up to 2 years, though this depends on specific working conditions such as frequency of hot water flow adjustments, Wi-Fi signal strength, and wireless network quality.
  • Safety Precautions: The product is intended for indoor use only and must be protected from dirt and moisture. It should not be used in damp environments or exposed to splashing water. Users are advised not to attempt to service or repair the device themselves. Children should not be allowed to play with the device, and devices that can remotely control it (mobile phones, tablets, PCs) should be kept away from children.
