Shelly Scripting Course

Scripting and automation guides in Egypt

Shelly devices run scripts locally, which is what separates them from most consumer smart home hardware. Instead of depending on a cloud service to decide what happens, logic runs on the device itself and keeps working when the internet does not.

This section holds learning material: scripting basics, communication protocols, virtual components and integration with Amazon AWS.

What scripting adds

• Local execution — automations survive an internet outage.
• Conditional logic — rules more complex than the app's schedule builder allows.
• Virtual components — expose custom controls in the app.
• Cloud integration — push data to AWS or another platform for logging and analysis.

Aimed at installers and technically confident owners rather than first-time users.
