Make IoT Simple Podcast
The following podcasts are a quick listen and give you some insight into the Shelly philosophy:
The main thing I get out of these episodes is that Shelly products are very open. They encourage using their products with another hub, cloud, or even flashing 3rd party firmware into them – they provide a convenient header for this. They have built in support for a number of protocols (CoAP, REST, MQTT, mDNS) and are a shining example of how IoT products should be built – simple, open, interoperable, and continuously improving.
