Shelly-BLU-Distance

The Shelly BLU Distance Sensor is a smart Bluetooth device featuring an ultrasonic sensor for accurate distance and level measurement. It is ideal for applications such as water tanks, water level monitoring, and parking management, providing real-time data to optimize resource usage and prevent issues like overflow or improper space allocation. It enables remote monitoring and control via Shelly’s ecosystem. Features: Long battery life, Ultrasonic distance measurement, Water level monitoring, Obstacle detection, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Compact and portable design, LED. Use cases: Parking Management – The sensor detects vehicle presence in parking spots, providing real-time occupancy data for efficient parking management and space optimization. Environmental Monitoring (Water Level Monitoring in Tanks or Reservoirs) – The sensor continuously measures water levels in storage tanks and reservoirs, enabling automated refill alerts and preventing overflow or depletion. Smart Home Ecosystems (Garage Systems, Water Tanks) – Integrated into a smart home system, the sensor helps automate garage door operations based on vehicle detection and monitors water tank levels to optimize household water usage. Safety Systems (Door and Gate Automation) – By detecting obstacles in the path of automated doors and gates, the sensor prevents accidental collisions, ensuring enhanced safety in residential and commercial environments. Main applications: Environmental monitoring (water levels in tanks or reservoirs), Smart home ecosystems (garage systems, water tanks), Parking management (detects free parking spots), Safety systems (door and gate automation), Industrial automation, Connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Modes of operation: Measurement on interval or vibration - Measurement is performed at fixed intervals. The default mode is 30 seconds, but can be adjusted (minimum 5, maximum 300 seconds). In addition, a button or vibration initiates a measurement earlier than the set interval. Then the new interval starts from the time of the last measurement, regardless of whether it is periodic or extraordinary by button or vibration. User interface Inputs: One push button, Click - start measurement, reset wait timer before measurements, Press 4 times the button on the device to pair the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor with another Bluetooth device. Press and hold for 30 seconds to factory reset (only possible shortly after inserting the battery). User can configure the device with 7 ranges of operation. It is possible to set the device on full range mode or either set one or two measurement ranges to save battery by not checking all ranges. Valid values - from 1 to 7. Default mode is 7 - full range. Range 1 - Close (200mm-450mm) Range 2 - Mid (300mm - 3500mm) Range 3 - Close and Mid (200mm - 3500mm) Range 4 - Far (2500mm - 5000mm) Range 5 - Close (200mm-450mm) and Far (2500mm - 5000mm) Range 6 - Mid and Far (300mm - 5000mm) Range 7 - Full range (200 mm - 5000 mm)
