New The Pill by Shelly compact sensor accessory released in US

The Pill by Shelly is now available in the US following its December 2025 launch in Europe. This compact accessory is designed for use with standard sensors and low-voltage peripherals, allowing them to operate as smart devices. For example, it could be used to monitor the water temperature in an aquarium, the climate in a greenhouse, or the voltage of a battery system.

Shelly’s The Pill is compatible with various input/output types, with three configurable digital inputs or outputs. It can read DC voltages up to 30V with an external add-on. Plus, the accessory can read temperature, humidity, and environmental data from DS18B20 and DHT22 sensors with support for cloud logging. Users could also connect 0-5V analog sensors to capture data like light intensity or soil moisture.

The Pill comes with Shelly Gen3 functionality, and can integrate via MQTT, WebSocket and HTTP. It offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, with a built-in Bluetooth Gateway allowing it to communicate with nearby devices. This white gadget is powered via USB-C, and measures 26.0 x 19.95 x 8.5 mm (~1.02 x 0.79 x 0.34 inches) and weighs 3 g (~0.11 oz).

You can now buy The Pill by Shelly in the US for $10.49. Limited stock, approximately 250 units, is currently available at the brand’s online store. It is unclear when it could be available more widely.
