Shelly has released beta firmware version 2.7.0 for its Wall Display smart home controllers, introducing multi-dashboard support across the product line. The update allows users to save multiple dashboard configurations directly on the device, eliminating the need to switch between single layouts manually.
Beta firmware update introduces multi-dashboard capabilities for Shelly smart home controllers
Dashboard support varies by model, allowing up to five dashboards on the XL and three on the X2 and X2i units. Shelly's flagship XL model supports up to five saved dashboards. The X2 and X2i models each accommodate three dashboards. The software enforces these limits based on the specific hardware capabilities of each device.
Home Assistant integration is now supported within the beta release. The update enables direct integration with Home Assistant for centralized smart home control. The update introduces multi-dashboard functionality to help users organize their smart home interfaces more efficiently.
The update carries a significant caveat: switching from stable version 2.6.2 to beta 2.7.0 is irreversible. Shelly does not provide a downgrade path once the beta firmware installs. Because switching back to the previous stable version is not possible after updating, users requiring a fallback option should await the official release.
Shelly's Wall Display XL retails for approximately $350 USD. While the XL model is priced at $350 USD, specific pricing for other variants has not been disclosed. The beta software is available immediately to owners of supported hardware.
