BLU Remote Control ZB

Shelly BLU Remote Control ZB is a battery-powered handheld scene controller with navigation buttons, ring keys, a scroll wheel, and a motion accelerometer. The ZB model speaks both Bluetooth and Zigbee, and a Bluetooth-only BLU variant is also sold.

Runs on 2x AAA batteries and triggers scenes and automations over Zigbee (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT) or locally over Bluetooth/BTHome, optionally relayed by a Shelly BLU Gateway. Sold in Bluetooth and Zigbee variants; no cloud required.

Events and automation triggers

Presses on this device reach Home Assistant as device triggers through the Shelly integration, which you pick in the automation editor after pairing. The button list, and whether each button also becomes an event entity, comes from what the device reports at pairing time, so it appears once the device is on the network.

Read from Home Assistant 2026.8.3: the integration declares these trigger types, and core holds no per-model button list for this device.
