The WiFi connection mode generally offers the most control of and information (sensor read-outs) over your Shelly devices.
If you want to use the Zigbee connection mode, then either the Shelly (Control) app needs to support your specific device or you could try to add it as a generic Zigbee device. That offers basic control (like on/off), but I am not sure whether that also works for your devices.
So the best route would be to have your devices supported by one of the Shelly apps in Zigbee mode. There are two apps:
- Shelly and
- Shelly Control
The second one is still in beta, but focusses specifically on recent gen devices and contains improvements compared to the original Shelly app. The first/original app will not receive functional enhancements anymore and will be focussing on Gen1 devices eventually.
So the new Shelly Control app would be the way to go. It also better supports the newer firmware that runs on the current Shelly devices (v2.0.0).
If your device is not supported in the mode you want, then you can reach out to the developer (Drenso), via the contact details included in the app’s app store page or in the first post of the dedicated topic for Shelly Control: [APP] Shelly Control - Smart home automation is that easy!.
My experience is that they respond quickly and can give you an indication on when support is added to the app.
