With this application you can set up and control Shelly Smart Home devices. The application can connect to the Shelly Cloud via a Shelly user account. All existing functions, however, can also be used completely without an internet connection. If you are in the local network, the devices communicate directly. Outside the local network, this is done via a Shelly user account. Updates can be easily distributed to the Shelly devices via smartphone. For this, they don't even need an internet connection. This is a private project and will be developed and improved by me as much as possible. Since I don't own all Shelly devices, some are not supported here. I am very happy about constructive feedback and suggestions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CC Scanner at none against Shelly Home's 3. Shelly Home's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
