Smart relay Shelly Qubino Wave 1, Z-Wave

Shelly Qubino Wave 1 is the compact Z-Wave relay designed to hide behind a switch or socket and instantly turn that circuit into a smart-controlled one. As a latest-generation Z-Wave device (S800 chipset), it integrates into any existing Z-Wave network and communicates with more than 4000 certified Z-Wave devices and gateways on the market, without energy metering for installations where it is not needed.

It is installed behind the existing switch or socket, with no extra space needed in the wall box, and manual operation remains possible directly from the physical switch, even when smart control is unavailable. It is a discreet solution for anyone who wants remote control without changing the look of the switches in the home.

Note: Shelly Qubino Wave 1 uses the Z-Wave protocol and requires a compatible Z-Wave controller or hub (for example Home Assistant with a Z-Wave stick, or another certified Z-Wave controller) for setup and control - unlike the rest of the Shelly range, it does not connect directly to the Wi-Fi network and does not work standalone without such a hub.

Practical use cases

• It integrates into an existing Z-Wave network (Z-Wave hub, Home Assistant with a Z-Wave stick, or another compatible controller), extending home automation without adding a new ecosystem.
• Installed behind a switch or socket, it works as a Z-Wave relay, benefiting from the extended coverage and stability typical of this protocol, ideal in buildings with thick walls.
• Each Wave device also works as a repeater in the Z-Wave mesh network, helping to extend the signal to other, more distant nodes.
• Note: Requires a compatible Z-Wave hub/controller (e.g. Home Assistant with a Z-Wave adapter) to be connected to the network and controlled from the app.

Technical specifications

Shelly Qubino Wave 1 is the simple and discreet choice for anyone who already has a Z-Wave network and wants to add smart control to a circuit, without energy metering and without changing the existing switch.
