Shelly Group Takes IoT to the Next Level with Gen3 Products Debuting at CES 2024
At this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES Show), Shelly, a Bulgaria-based IoT and smart building solutions provider, will launch its highly anticipated Gen3 products. These new IoT devices are designed to reshape how users interact with their smart homes and businesses, offering more memory, compatibility, and extended functionalities. We were lucky to get updated on these three new products before the show.
The Gen3 series from Shelly Group represents a significant leap in smart device technology, thanks to the utilization of a powerful new chip with 8MB of memory. This substantial memory upgrade not only enhances device performance and efficiency but also opens doors to the introduction of new features and capabilities. Moreover, the Gen3 Series introduces a groundbreaking concept called "virtual components," which revolutionizes how users manage and control third-party devices. Through the Shelly Smart Control app, users can seamlessly integrate non-Shelly products into a unified control system, simplifying the management of all their smart devices, regardless of brand, within a single interface.
Shelly Group is also forward-thinking in its approach, with each Gen3 device engineered to be upgradable to the Matter standard, an industry-unifying protocol known for reliable and secure connectivity. With double the memory, these Gen3 devices ensure a smooth update process while paving the way for new smart capabilities and integrations. This commitment to innovation and responsiveness to user feedback reflects Shelly's dedication to enhancing the overall user experience, aiming to create a space where convenience, security, and energy efficiency harmoniously coexist.
"We are thrilled to showcase our next-generation products at CES 2024," said Dimitar Dimitrov, Co-CEO of Shelly Group. "With increased memory capacity and enhanced capabilities, users can experience enhanced product functionalities and reliability of our devices. These new products mark a significant milestone for us as we continue to deliver cutting-edge solutions that empower our users to create truly smart homes and businesses."
"We feel confident in achieving our targets not only in terms of annual revenue but also in the number of products that we deliver. We are growing faster than the market, which puts us in a position to offer our clients and partners the best solutions for their needs due to our short idea-to-market process. In 2023, we achieved our medium-term targets of revenue of more than EUR 200.0 million, and we are well positioned to achieve EBIT of more than EUR 50.0 million by the end of 2026.", adds Wolfgang Kirsch, Co-CEO of Shelly Group.
