How to Integrate LOQED Power Kit with Shelly Ecosystem: A Step-by-Step Guide

Smart door locks are a cornerstone of modern home automation, but they often face one common challenge: reliable power. The LOQED Power Kit is designed to provide a constant, maintenance-free power supply to your LOQED smart lock, eliminating the hassle of battery changes. However, integrating it with a broader smart home ecosystem—especially one built around Shelly devices—can unlock even greater automation and monitoring capabilities.

In this guide, we will walk you through the process of integrating the LOQED Power Kit with your Shelly ecosystem. Whether you want to monitor power consumption, automate lock behaviour based on energy data, or simply centralise control under one app, this integration is both powerful and straightforward. By the end, you’ll have a unified system where your door lock and energy management work in perfect harmony.

Understanding the LOQED Power Kit and Shelly Compatibility

The LOQED Power Kit is an external power supply that plugs into a standard wall outlet and connects to your LOQED smart lock via a slim cable. It eliminates the need for battery replacements and ensures your lock stays operational year-round. But the real magic happens when you integrate it with Shelly’s range of smart relays and energy meters. While the Power Kit itself is not a Shelly device, you can use Shelly products to monitor its power draw, automate actions based on lock status, or even integrate it into scenes with other smart devices.

Before starting, ensure your LOQED Power Kit is correctly installed and providing power to your lock. Then, choose a Shelly device that suits your needs. For basic on/off control with power monitoring, the Shelly 2PM Gen3 x4 is an excellent choice—it offers two relay channels and real-time energy tracking. If you want to monitor the entire home’s energy usage alongside the lock, the Shelly Pro 3EM is a professional-grade three-phase energy meter that can give you granular insights. Both devices work over Wi-Fi and integrate seamlessly with the Shelly Smart Control app and popular platforms like Home Assistant.

• The LOQED Power Kit uses a standard EU plug, making it easy to connect to a Shelly-controlled socket or relay.
• Shelly devices can be installed behind existing wall switches or in electrical cabinets, preserving your home’s aesthetics.

Step 1: Setting Up the LOQED Power Kit

Begin by physically installing the LOQED Power Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Mount the compact power adapter near your door—preferably within reach of a power outlet. Connect the cable to your LOQED lock’s power port. Once connected, the lock will switch from battery to mains power automatically. Test that the lock operates normally. You can confirm power delivery by checking the LED indicator on the Power Kit or within the LOQED app.

If you plan to integrate the Power Kit with a Shelly device, do not connect it directly to a Shelly relay yet. Instead, note the outlet or circuit you will use. For a clean installation, we recommend using a dedicated outlet that can be controlled or monitored by your chosen Shelly device. For example, you could plug the Power Kit into a Shelly Wall Socket EU White or behind a wall switch with a Shelly 2L Gen4 for retrofit scenarios.

• Keep the Power Kit’s cable tidy using cable clips or a small raceway near the door frame.
• If your door lock is far from an outlet, consider using a Shelly relay installed in a junction box close to the lock.

Step 2: Connecting a Shelly Device for Monitoring and Control

Now it’s time to bring the Shelly device into the picture. If you’re using a Shelly 2PM Gen3 x4, install it in a junction box or behind a switch where the outlet for the Power Kit is located. Wire the Shelly’s input to the mains and its output to the outlet. This allows you to turn the Power Kit on/off remotely and monitor its energy consumption. The Shelly 2PM Gen3 x4 can track real-time wattage, voltage, and current, giving you insights into the lock’s power usage.

Alternatively, if you want whole-home energy monitoring, you can install the Shelly Pro 3EM on your main electrical panel. While it won’t control the Power Kit directly, it will show you the energy consumed by the entire circuit that includes the lock. This is useful for larger automation projects where you want to correlate lock activity with home energy patterns. Configure the device via the Shelly Smart Control app: assign a name like “Front Door Lock Power”, enable power monitoring, and set up notifications for abnormal power draw.

• Use the Shelly app’s schedule feature to turn off the Power Kit when the house is unoccupied for extended periods (e.g., holidays).
• Enable over-power protection on the Shelly relay to safeguard against power surges.

Step 3: Automating with Scenes and Routines

This is where the Shelly ecosystem truly shines. With your LOQED Power Kit connected to a Shelly device, you can create powerful automations. For example, you can set a scene that turns off the Power Kit’s outlet when your Shelly motion sensor detects no movement for 30 minutes, then turns it back on when you arrive home. Or use the energy readings from the Shelly 2PM Gen3 x4 to trigger a notification if the lock’s power consumption drops unexpectedly (indicating a disconnection).

If you use a smart hub like Home Assistant or Google Home, the integration becomes even richer. You can tie the lock’s power status to other Shelly devices: e.g., when the lock is powered, turn on the hallway light via a Shelly 2PM Gen3 x4 relay. The combination of LOQED and Shelly gives you both reliable power and intelligent automation. Remember to test each automation step-by-step to ensure the Power Kit never loses power unexpectedly (which could lock you out).

• Create a daily energy report for the lock using Shelly’s consumption history graphs.
• Use voice commands like “Hey Google, check front door lock power” if integrated with Google Home.

Troubleshooting Common Integration Issues

Some users may encounter issues when first integrating the LOQED Power Kit with Shelly. The most common problem is the lock not receiving stable power when the Shelly relay is turned off. Always ensure the Shelly relay is set to “always on” mode or controlled only by automations that keep it powered during normal use. Also, check that the Shelly device’s firmware is up to date—older versions may lack support for some power monitoring features.

If the Shelly device reports 0W consumption even when the lock is active, verify the wiring and that the current clamp (for Pro models) is correctly placed. For Wi-Fi connectivity issues, ensure your router is within range of the Shelly device. Using a Shelly device with a stable 2.4 GHz network is recommended. Finally, if the LOQED Power Kit itself fails to power the lock, test it directly in a wall outlet without the Shelly relay to isolate the problem.

• A factory reset of the Shelly device can resolve persistent pairing issues. Use the button on the device.
• Shelly’s support forums and knowledge base offer detailed wiring diagrams for your specific model.

Integrating the LOQED Power Kit with the Shelly ecosystem is a smart move for anyone looking to enhance their smart door lock’s reliability and functionality. By following the steps above—from hardware setup to advanced automation—you can create a seamless, energy-aware smart home system. Ready to get started?
