Shelly are well known for manufacturing affordable devices that primarily use Wi-Fi technology. Their latest magnetic sensor is no exception when it comes to offering cost-effective solutions. This sensor impresses with its fast reaction time and sends signals in the blink of an eye, and according to the company themselves, it is even “Lightning fixed”.

While Shelly's own app may be in need of a design update, it compensates with reliable performance. The sensor delivers in terms of function and fulfills its main tasks without any problems. It's worth mentioning that one of the challenges with battery-powered devices that use Wi-Fi is that they tend to drain their batteries fairly quickly. This is something that users should be aware of and consider when choosing such a device.

In summary, Shelly's magnetic sensor is a fully acceptable product. If you are looking for a magnetic sensor that is connected via Wi-Fi and are satisfied with the fast reaction time, this may be the right choice for you. Shelly has built a reputation for reliable and affordable products, and this sensor is no exception. So if Wi-Fi is what you seek, you can confidently consider Shelly's magnetic sensor to suit your needs.
