Water tanks.
Keep track of your water levels and usage without lifting the lid or checking manually.

Septic tanks.
Avoid messy surprises and costly overflows by keeping tabs on your septic tank – easily. Mount the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor on the inside of the tank lid, pointing down toward the liquid surface, to continuously measure the fill level in real time.

Get notified before your tank reaches critical levels.
Automate pumps or alarms using other Shelly relays and devices.
Monitor efficiently and safely without manual inspections or wiring.
Stay ahead of maintenance and protect your septic system – all from your phone.
Vehicle detection
Let your smart home know when your car has arrived or left.
Place the Shelly BLU Distance Sensor on your garage ceiling or driveway entrance. It detects the presence of your vehicle and sends signals to automate:
Opening the garage door via Shelly relays.
Turning on driveway or garage lights.
Sending you alerts when someone parks in your spot.
Space monitoring.
Manage tight spaces and restock timing without being there. Install the sensor in a small supply or stockroom to measure the distance to products or goods. Use it to:
Know when supply bins are low (e.g., cups, bags, ingredients).
Monitor space availability in fridges, cabinets, or shelves.
Send alerts to refill or reorder on time-without daily checks.
How it connects.
Bluetooth Low Energy.
Shelly BLU Distance communicates via Bluetooth Low Energy to any Shelly Wi-FI (Gen2 or above) device, which in turn brings your Shelly BLU device into your Shelly system (or Home Assistant) via Wi-Fi.
Shelly BLU Distance can also communicate directly with any smart hub that supports BTHome – including Homey Pro.
