Device SSID: ShellyPro3EM-XXXXXX
Short description
Shelly Pro 3EM (The Device) is a DIN rail mountable three-phase energy meter. The Device is Matter-ready. Click here for more information how to enable Matter. It can work standalone in a local LAN and/or Wi-Fi network, or it can also be operated through cloud home automation services through MQTT, HTTP, and WebSocket. All inbound connections support TLS.
The Device reports accumulated energy as well as instantaneous voltage, current, active, and apparent power per phase in real time. It stores data in non-volatile memory that can be retrieved for a period of at least 45 days in 1-minute intervals.
The Device has a real-time clock to keep the correct time if the connection to an SNTP server is lost.
Shelly Pro 3EM can be accessed, set up, and monitored remotely by the User, as well as the Device can access and communicate with an automation system, as long as they are in the same network infrastructure.
The Device has an embedded Web Interface which can be used to monitor and control the device, as well as adjust its settings.
⚠NOTICE! The Device does not have a built-in relay. Contactor control is provided using a Shelly Pro Addon attached to the Shelly Pro 3EM.

Photovoltaic ready
1 The Device has phase sequence error detection circuits. This detection works on phase voltages and considers only the zero crossings. The regular succession of these zero-crossing events is Phase A followed by Phase B followed by Phase C. If the sequence of zero-crossing events is, instead, Phase A followed by Phase C followed by Phase B, then a phase_sequence error is reported when the Phase sequence error detection option is enabled.
2 At least 500 W load is required for each channel.
3 In case the total load for the three channels drops below 30 VA per channel the measured power level will be displayed, but no consumed energy will be accumulated to the energy statistics and a No load threshold notification will be displayed in the Device web interface and the mobile application.
4 Shelly devices rely on internet connection for device clock. In case of installation network requirement or service interruption, the built-in clock provides correct timestamps for records.
5 The Device has a measurement accuracy of 1%, based on internal design validation and testing.
