The Shelly EM uses two clamps to measure solar generation and the exchange with the grid; when there is surplus energy, the Shelly Pro 2 closes the heat pump's SG-Ready inputs and makes it work harder, storing heat or hot water. Everything sits in a DIN enclosure connected to the router, with no hub. It is managed from the Shelly app.
What it does
- The Shelly EM, with its two current clamps, measures the power produced by the solar system and the power exchanged with the grid.
- The Shelly Pro 2 has two dry-contact relays, wired to the heat pump's two SG-Ready inputs.
- Combining the two contacts gives the states defined by SG-Ready, from blocked through normal operation to recommended and forced operation, as set out in the heat pump manual.
- When the exchange with the grid shows export above the chosen threshold for a few minutes, the automation moves to the recommended switch-on state.
- When the surplus runs out, the heat pump returns to normal operation under its own controller.
- The Shelly app shows generation, import and export over time, which helps in choosing the thresholds.

Before you order
Do you need a hub?
No. The Pro 2 connects to the router with a network cable and the Shelly EM over Wi-Fi; the automations between the two are created in the Shelly app. No coordinator and no paid software are needed.
Is my heat pump compatible?
It has to have SG-Ready inputs or an equivalent input for an external enable signal: you will find it in the manual, under SG-Ready or smart grid. The kit drives those inputs; the pump decides how to use the surplus according to its own logic.
Does it work with Alexa, Google and Apple?
With Alexa and Google Home the Shelly modules work through the official integrations, but what this application mainly needs is the Shelly automations. The modules also work with Home Assistant, which is useful for more elaborate logic. Apple Home requires an intermediate system such as Home Assistant.
Do you need an electrician?
Yes: the modules and the clamps are installed in the consumer unit, at 230V, and the contacts have to be wired to the heat pump's control unit. The connections must be made by qualified personnel with the system isolated.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The modules stay reachable from the app on the home network and keep measuring. The automations between the EM and the Pro 2 that go through the Shelly service resume once the connection is back; in the meantime the heat pump runs in its normal state.
My system is three-phase: will this work?
The kit is designed for single-phase systems. On a three-phase system a three-phase meter is needed in place of the Shelly EM: write to us from the contacts section with your meter and inverter type, and we will suggest the right combination.
Can I use the surplus for other things too?
Yes: the same Shelly EM can also control an electric water heater, dehumidifiers or other loads, by adding relays in the enclosure's spare ways. Write to us from the contacts section for the right kit.
What if a product is out of stock on Amazon?
Write to us from the contact section quoting the kit code: we will point you to an alternative that fits the other parts, so the kit keeps working as described. Avoid swapping a component for a similar model without first checking the protocol and the compatibility with the rest of the system.
Why buy on Amazon?
Purchase, delivery, returns and warranty are handled by Amazon, under the terms shown to you when you order. We put the kit together and checked it ourselves: the parts are chosen to work together and the cart adds them all, in the right quantities, in a single step.
