I love this product, first i'm an electrical contractor and i'm comparing it to the sonoff on this review since i tried using both for the same purpose, i think this shelly 1 product is better based what it provides, the shelly 1 provides multi voltage connection to it, the sonoff doesn't, it has a dedicated set of contacts relay side, i ran 120v for the input power to energize the relay module and run 12 volt wires to the dry set of contacts to work my device input, it can be 12 volt or 120 volt on the set of contacts, the app was was easier to install to the wifi, i had a hard time trying to connect the sonoff relay to my wifi after i did it never really worked right, but the shelly picked it right up and started working flawlessly, a better product all the way around if you compare it to the sonoff, note that i'm not talking about the software only the functionality as it is from factory.  Read Less
