Shelly 1 Gen4
A compact format for operating one point when the panel and installation support a local integration.
Access equipment and technologies
Access control devices for residential communities.
Onzane takes digital permissions all the way to the physical installation. Smart relays, readers and cameras connect the platform to pedestrian doors, garages, barriers, turnstiles and shared facilities.
From permission to opening
Software decides. The device acts.
Every access point is assessed as a whole: the existing door or barrier, the equipment that operates it, available connectivity and the rules defined in Onzane.
- 01Assess the access point
Identify the lock, motor, electrical panel, opening signal, connectivity and actual use of the point.
- 02Choose the equipment
Select the relay, reader, camera or combination suited to the installation and its required level of control.
- 03Connect it to Onzane
The device receives an instruction or supplies the identification the platform needs to validate access.
- 04Apply the rules
Onzane checks permissions, schedules and validity before authorising and recording the action.
Integration available today
Onzane + Shelly
Smart relays that operate existing access points.
Onzane currently integrates with Shelly equipment. Its relays carry a digital instruction to the opening contact of a door, barrier, motor or turnstile without turning the platform into a closed system tied to one access type.
Integrated manufacturer
02
Shelly Pro 1
Professional single-channel DIN-rail equipment for panels where a tidy, maintainable installation is required.
03
Shelly Pro 2
Two controllable channels in one unit for projects with two related operations or access points.
04
Shelly Pro 3
Three channels for centralising several compatible operations in the same control panel.
Model selection depends on the electrical panel, voltage, signal type and required operation. Every installation must be assessed before specifying the equipment.
One installation can combine several layers
Actuation, identification and validation.
Shelly is the manufacturer integration available today. Other equipment can form part of the technical project as identification media, once its compatibility and connection method have been checked.
Smart relays
They receive an authorised instruction and activate the signal expected by the existing lock, motor, door, barrier or turnstile.
RFID and NFC readers
They identify compatible cards, key fobs, wristbands or other credentials and link them to a person or valid permission.
Number plate cameras
They identify a plate as a vehicle approaches the garage so Onzane can check its authorisation before ordering the opening.
Deployment on real infrastructure
Choosing a device is not enough.
The result depends on how it integrates with the existing access point. The project therefore starts with a technical assessment and ends with operating and permission-revocation tests.
- Inventory of existing doors, barriers, turnstiles, motors and panels.
- Verification of electrical signal, power, coverage and connectivity.
- Definition of manual opening, contingency and safe operation.
- Installation by professionals suited to each type of equipment.
- Tests with valid, expired and revoked permissions.
- Documentation of the community’s connected devices and access points.
Hardware with a specific role
The device does not replace the rules.
This page explains physical infrastructure. Authorisations and use cases have their own space so each decision remains precise.
Permissions decide who and when
Onzane defines scope, schedule, validity and revocation; the device only carries out an instruction that has already been validated.
See permissionsThe garage organises plates and spaces
Camera, RFID tag and resident-managed plate operations are covered in the parking context.
See garagesThe pool applies its own conditions
Capacity, passes, guests and validation by turnstile or staff follow specific rules.

Devices compatible with Onzane access control.
Answers about Shelly, relays, readers, cameras, installation and reuse of existing equipment.
01Which device manufacturer does Onzane currently integrate with?
Onzane currently integrates with Shelly equipment, particularly smart relays from the Shelly 1 and Shelly Pro families. Every model must be validated for the specific operation and panel.
02Will Onzane add devices from other manufacturers?
The architecture is ready for new integrations. They will only be presented as compatible after development and validation; Shelly is the manufacturer integration available today.
03What does a smart relay do in access control?
It bridges the instruction authorised by Onzane and the opening signal accepted by a door, lock, barrier, turnstile or motor. It does not replace the physical mechanism by itself.
04Can an existing door or motor be reused?
Often yes, provided it has a compatible actuation input and the installation meets the technical requirements. Each access point must be checked before an integration is proposed.
05Can RFID or NFC readers be used?
Yes, within a compatible project. The reader identifies the credential and that information must reach Onzane through a validated connection so the corresponding permission can be applied.
06Are number plate cameras covered on this page?
Their role as an identification technology is described here. Vehicle, plate, parking-space and parking-permission management is covered on the dedicated garages page.
07Who should install the equipment?
Installation must be carried out by a professional suited to the panel, lock, motor and device involved. The plan should include electrical safety, contingency and operating tests.
08Can one project combine relays, readers and cameras?
Yes. A community can use different media for each access point while keeping the rules centralised in Onzane, provided the technical compatibility of every connection has been validated.
The access point first. The equipment second.
Design an installation that works with the community you already have.
We review doors, panels, motors, readers, cameras and connectivity to define what each point needs and how to connect it to Onzane.
