Schneider Electric Is Buying Shelly - Should Users Be Worried?

In this video, I take a look at the proposed Shelly acquisition by Schneider Electric, what’s actually been announced, and the questions existing Shelly users are asking about its future.

I cover who Schneider Electric is, why it wants Shelly, the role of Shelly’s founders, and the announced plans for the company’s team and operations. I also explore the concerns around local control, open APIs, MQTT and Home Assistant integration, alongside the community reaction.

There are several key items mentioned in the announcement, and I'll cover those in the video, especially the mentioned 'local control and subscriptions'. There’s an important distinction between what’s confirmed, what’s been said about Shelly’s direction, and what we’ll have to wait and see.

If you already use Shelly products, has this announcement changed how you feel about buying more? Let me know what you’d most want Schneider Electric to preserve.
