⚡ Shelly Wave Outdoor Plug S LR: A Reliable and Extremely Powerful Outdoor Smart Plug

Transform your summer patio and sprawling garden into a truly smart and energy-efficient living space. The Shelly Wave Outdoor Plug S LR brings simple plug-and-play remote control and, thanks to its groundbreaking Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) certification, provides an unprecedentedly extended signal range to power even the most distant garden devices.

Powered by the latest Z-Wave 800 Series chip, this smart plug guarantees an absolutely stable connection and highly detailed insight into your energy consumption, even in the most demanding weather conditions.

It perfectly combines rugged physical durability with an IP44 waterproof rating, the rock-solid reliability of an uninterrupted Sub-GHz frequency (impervious to overcrowded home Wi-Fi interference), and precise integrated energy metering (Wattmeter). The device automatically determines the best network mode: when installed near the house, it utilizes the classic Z-Wave Plus Mesh network acting as a signal repeater, while in vast open exteriors, it operates exclusively in ZWLR star-topology mode. This mode allows it to communicate flawlessly with the central hub at an incredible distance of up to 1 kilometer without dropping the signal.

Typical Outdoor Use Cases

A typical deployment for the Shelly Wave Outdoor Plug S LR includes the central control of outdoor and seasonal Christmas lighting, such as extensive festoon light strings. It is also absolutely ideal for powering and remotely switching heavy-duty patio heaters, outdoor fans, irrigation pumps, and pool fountains, reliably handling continuous loads of up to 12 A (or 2500 W).

Key Benefits of the Shelly Wave Outdoor Plug S LR

• 📡 Extremely Long Range: Supported by the ZWLR star network, it shatters limits—reaching up to 80 meters indoors through walls, and an astonishing 1000 meters outdoors (with a direct line of sight) directly to your smart hub.
• 🔗 Flexible Mesh Connectivity: In standard Z-Wave Plus mode, it provides a stable Mesh network with a point-to-point range of about 40 meters, serving as a crucial network repeater to boost coverage for other outdoor Z-Wave sensors.
• ⚡ Energy Efficiency and Insight: The plug precisely measures both real-time and historical energy consumption of your outdoor devices, delivering detailed statistics straight to your control hub app.
• 🔒 Winter and Summer Protection: The device is safely equipped with integrated protection against PCB overheating, short-circuit overcurrent, and grid overvoltage. The IP44 rating shields the plug from splashing water and moisture. A multi-colored LED on the plug body offers a quick visual check of the power status and load level.
• 🔧 Easy and Secure Pairing: The plug fully supports quick SmartStart pairing (by simply scanning a QR code), the most robust S2 Authenticated security framework for data protection, and seamless Over-The-Air (OTA) wireless firmware updates for long-term, trouble-free operation.
• 🌐 Broad Controller Compatibility: A certified Z-Wave gateway is strictly required to operate this device. To fully leverage the gigantic ZWLR range, your gateway hardware and software must explicitly support the Long Range mode.

Electrical and Technical Parameters

• 🔌 Module Power Supply: 230 V AC, 50 Hz with extremely low internal standby consumption (less than 0.7 W)
• ⚡ Maximum Safe Switching: 230 V AC, 12 A (which translates to 2500 W for a resistive load)
• 🛡️ Built-in Protections: Guarded against extreme overheating, overcurrent, and grid overvoltage
• 📊 Power and Historical Energy Measurement (Wattmeter): Yes

Radio, Networking, and Communication

• 📡 Processor and Chip: Powered by the latest Z-Wave® S800 Series chip with a maximum safe RF transmit power of less than 25 mW.
• 📶 Communication Frequencies: Automatically adapts to the 864.0 MHz band (for ZWLR mode) and the 868.4 MHz band (for standard Z-Wave Plus in Europe).
• 🌐 Maximum Signal Range: ~40 m indoors (in a traditional Z-Wave Plus mesh network acting as a repeater), or up to a massive 80 m indoors and 1000 m outdoors with direct line of sight (in dedicated ZWLR mode).

Physical Characteristics and Outdoor Installation Conditions

• 💧 Enhanced Weather Protection: IP44 rating (Protection against splashing water from any direction) featuring a protective outer cover in a Mocha (Dark Brown) finish.
• 🛠️ Construction Material: Heavy-duty plastic safeguarded by an external, flexible silicone socket cover to tightly seal out moisture.
• 📏 Dimensions of the Plug Itself: 56 × 56 × 103 mm (±0.5 mm tolerance).
• 🌡️ Harsh Operating Environment: Designed to withstand outdoor operating temperatures from a freezing -25 °C up to a scorching +51 °C.

📝 Important Notice: To add, program, and operate this device, you indispensably need your own Z-Wave gateway (the control unit is not included in the package). The Long Range functionality (ZWLR) is automatically unlocked only after pairing it with a ZWLR-compatible smart hub. The device does not feature traditional Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity.
