Have you ever wondered if you have excess electricity that is fed into the network, but your cell phone is not at hand? With the Shelly Plus Plug S Can you create a simple and visual solution to show everyone in the household whether there is enough electricity.
Step 1: Set LED ring
In the Shelly App Can you adjust the lighting of the Shelly Plus Plug S LED ring. Choose a color and intensity when the Shelly is "on", which means that electricity is fed in. Select a different color for the state "from", which means that no electricity is fed up. You can also set that the Shelly does not light up at all.
Step 2: Settings in our app

- Nominal output: Enter the typical performance of your household appliances here. For example, devices such as dishwashers or washing machines usually need less than 200 watts, apart from the heating phase.

If you add 300 watts in addition to the 200 watts at the switch, Clever-PV switches on the lamp with a feed-in of 500 watts and off at less than 300 watts. In the case of balcony power plants, the values ​​should be selected accordingly (e.g. 150+50 watts).
