Micro USB to 5-Terminal Add-on for Shelly The Pill – Universal Connection Interface for Sensors and Automations

The Micro USB to 5-Terminal Add-on is an essential expansion accessory for advanced users of the Shelly The Pill ecosystem. This compact module transforms your sensor’s digital port into a 5-terminal screw terminal block, making it easy to connect wires directly from various external sensors or control devices. It is the ideal solution for DIY projects where you need a secure, stable and neat connection, without resorting to soldering or makeshift solutions.

Key Benefits

• Universal Connectivity: Allows for the easy connection of temperature sensors (DS18B20), contact sensors (door/window) or other peripherals compatible with the 1-Wire protocol.

• Screw Terminals (5-Pin): Ensure an extremely secure mechanical fastening of the cables, preventing accidental disconnections and providing perfect electrical contact for accurate readings.

• Quick Installation (Plug-and-Play): Connects instantly to the expansion port of the Shelly The Pill sensor, ready for use in seconds.

• Ideal for DIY Projects: Whether you’re building a multi-point temperature monitoring system or a centralised control panel, this add-on radically simplifies the wiring process.

• Compact and Robust Design: Its small size allows it to be installed in electrical boxes, protective casings or directly on the back of the sensor, maintaining an aesthetic and organised setup.

• No Soldering Required: Eliminates the need for a soldering iron, allowing you to quickly change the sensor configuration simply by unscrewing and reinserting the wires.

Examples of Use

1. Multi-Point Temperature Monitoring: Connecting several DS18B20 probes in parallel to monitor different points of interest (e.g. in the ceiling, at floor level, outdoors).

2. Customised Security Systems: Integrating magnetic contact sensors or flood sensors with direct wired outputs into the Shelly ecosystem.

3. Prototyping and Testing: Using the Shelly The Pill sensor as a test unit for various analogue or digital sensors prior to final implementation in a complex system.
