All in one place

Check fewer devices individually.
More visibility across your network.

The manager bundles the most important tasks for your Shelly devices into one compact web interface.

⌕

Automatic discovery

Find Wi-Fi Shellys on your local network and bring them together in one central device list.

↻

Firmware at a glance

15 Shelly devices at home? See at a glance which devices are up to date and where an update is available.

⇧

Trigger updates

Check devices on demand and start available firmware updates directly from the interface.

⌁

Wi-Fi and BLE inventory

In addition to Wi-Fi devices, the interface supports BLE scans and shows discovered BLE devices.

⚙

Targeted device management

Filter devices, add them manually, and open details and status for each device.

▣

Built-in web interface

The ESP32 serves the dashboard itself. Access it with a browser on the same local network.

Easy start

Plug in. Connect. Manage.

No extra server environment: the manager is designed as firmware for an ESP32.

Power on the ESP32

Power the ESP32 that has the manager firmware installed.

Connect to Wi-Fi

The ESP32 joins your local Wi-Fi network. Your browser device must be on the same network.

Open the dashboard

Open the web interface, let it discover your Shellys, and check firmware versions centrally.

Small hardware. Clear focus.

One ESP32-C6.
Your Shelly dashboard.

The manager runs directly on a compact ESP32-C6 board. Power it over USB, connect it to your local Wi-Fi, and open the dashboard in a browser – no additional server required.

A look inside the dashboard

The real interface.
No marketing mockups.

The screenshots show the current development state of the Shelly Firmware Manager.

Screenshot of the Shelly Firmware Manager system status with Wi-Fi and BLE device counts and scan controls — **System status and scan control** – Firmware status, Wi-Fi connection, manager IP, signal strength, and BLE scan directly in the dashboard.

Screenshot of the Wi-Fi device list with generation, IP, model, firmware, update status, and actions — **Wi-Fi device overview** – Generation, model, installed and available firmware, and device-specific actions.

More dashboard insights

Discover BLE devices.
Track updates.

The interface also shows discovered Bluetooth devices and documents the status of completed firmware updates.

BLE device list with address, model, signal strength, last seen, battery level, and packet ID — **BLE devices in range** – The BTHome filter narrows down the scan results. Signal strength, last seen, battery level, and packet ID help with classification; device details can be opened directly.

Update history with device name, target firmware version, and update result — **Update history at a glance** – Each entry shows the affected device, the target version, and the result. This makes it easy to see whether the installed version already matches the target.

Compact instead of complicated

Your own small manager
instead of an additional server.

The approach is deliberately lean: the manager firmware runs on the ESP32 and serves the web interface directly.

Typical server approach

Additional server hardware or an existing system
Manage an operating system or runtime
Install and maintain an application
Additional resources on the home network

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

The key points about the local ESP32 approach.

Which Shelly generations are supported?

The manager is designed for Shelly Gen1 to Gen4 devices.

Do I need a Raspberry Pi or a server?

No. The manager firmware runs directly on an ESP32. The ESP32 also serves the web interface.

How do I access the interface?

The ESP32 connects to your local Wi-Fi network. Open the web interface in a browser on a device on the same network.

Does everything work without internet?

Management and device discovery work locally. An internet connection may be required to check for and download new Shelly firmware.

Is the Shelly Firmware Manager free?

Yes. The manager is free to use.

Which ESP32 hardware do I need?

The firmware was developed and tested on an ESP32-C6 with 4 MB flash. Other compatible ESP32 boards will probably work as well.
