About this app
Hestia controls your Shelly smart-home devices (Gen2 and later) directly on your local network, over HTTP, through their built-in API. No cloud, no account, no telemetry: nothing leaves your network, by default. Features: * Channel dashboard with state and switch, at a glance. * "On for X" timer executed by the device itself, fully autonomously (the phone can be turned off).

Version 2.3.0. New, fully optional and off by default: Shelly Cloud integration. A per-device toggle (Edit screen) connects it to Shelly's official cloud. And if you set up an account key in Settings, Hestia can keep showing your outlets' state and power use, and turn them on/off, even away from your home network — a small antenna icon shows when that's happening. Everything else (schedules, presence, thresholds…) stays strictly local.
