Shelly Blu Distance, ultrasonic distance measurement
Shelly Blu Distance, ultrasonic distance measurement
The Shelly BLU Distance is a smart battery-powered Bluetooth device equipped with an ultrasonic sensor for accurate distance and level measurement, including liquid level monitoring. Used for environmental monitoring (monitoring the liquid level in tanks or reservoirs), the sensor continuously measures the liquid level in storage tanks and reservoirs, allowing automatic refill alerts and preventing overflow or depletion. Parking management, the sensor detects the presence of vehicles in parking spaces and provides real-time occupancy data for efficient parking management and space optimization. Security systems (door and gate automation), by detecting obstacles in the path of automatic doors and gates, the sensor prevents accidental collisions and ensures greater safety in residential and commercial environments. Smart home ecosystems (garage systems, liquid tanks), a sensor integrated into a smart home system helps automate garage door operation based on vehicle detection and monitors liquid tank levels to optimize their use in the home.

Compatible smart home platforms
Compatible with the manufacturer's app
To use the product's smart features, you need to add the device to the manufacturer's app. For more information about the application (name, supported OS, supported languages) and how to add a device to the application, please refer to the product manual.
Intelligent monitoring of water reservoirs
Monitor water consumption without having to watch the lid or operate it manually. Install the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor on a rainwater harvesting tank or home water tank and monitor the water level in real time. Send the sensor via Bluetooth to the Shelly Smart Control app, allowing you to be notified when the tank is nearly empty or full. Automate water pumps with additional Shelly relays. Optimise water consumption without the cost of laying cables.
Intelligent septic tank monitoring
Mount the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor on the inside of the tank lid so that it points down to the liquid level, and continuously monitors the fill in real time. The sensor connects via Bluetooth to the Shelly Smart Control app, providing instant overview and alerts without opening tanks or laying cables. With the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor, you can receive alerts before your tank reaches a critical level. Automate pumps or alarms with other Shelly relays and devices. Efficiently and safely monitor without manual operation or wiring.
Vehicle detection in the garage or driveway
Place the Shelly BLU distance sensor on the garage ceiling or driveway entrance. Detects the presence of your vehicle and signals to automate the garage door opener with Shelly relays. Turn on the lights in the driveway or garage. Sending alerts when someone parks in your space.
Warehouse or space level monitoring
Install the sensor in a small warehouse or storage area to measure the distance to products or goods. Use to determine the amount of stock in containers (e.g. cups, bags, ingredients). Monitor space availability in fridges, cabinets or shelves. Sending notifications for timely replenishment or ordering without daily checking.
Shelly Smart Control App
Supports Bluetooth for flexible, low-latency control of smart devices. Battery powered for flexibility and continuous operation. Monitor and configure your device using the Shelly Smart Control app or other Bluetooth compatible platforms. The Shelly Smart Control app will help you control your Shelly device remotely and send you notifications of all automated events in your home. You can easily configure the devices and manage their settings individually, or you can create personalized scenes by combining Shelly devices to trigger certain actions in your home automation.
