With Shelly’s appearance at CES 2023, the smart home offshoot of automation manufacturer Allterco Robotics Ltd. showcased a sizeable expansion to both its DIY and professional-grade home automation products. Of course, across all the new enhancements the company still stuck with its core product goals of affordability, interoperability, accessibility, energy efficiency and ease of installation.

“At Shelly, we believe that the most advanced smart home automation technology should be available and affordable for all, making it easy to customize and automate a home or business – and save energy in the process,” said Svetlin Todorov, CEO of Allterco Robotics U.S., the maker of Shelly products.
