Shelly Pro 3EM-120

Device identification

Name: Shelly Pro 3EM

Model: SPEM-003CEBEU

Device SSID: ShellyPro3EM-XXXXXX

BLE Model ID: –

Short description

Shelly Pro 3EM is a DIN rail–mountable three-phase energy meter that measures and reports real-time
energy data including voltage, current, active and apparent power per phase. Enhanced with Gen2 firmware
and LAN connectivity, it supports secure communication via MQTT, HTTP, and WebSocket (TLS-enabled).
The device stores up to 60 days of 1-minute interval data in non-volatile memory and features a built-in
real-time clock for accurate timestamps even when offline.



Note: The device does not include a built-in relay; contactor control requires a
Shelly Pro Add-on module.

Main features

• 4-quadrant energy measurement
• DIN rail mountable
• Supports three-phase or single-phase connections
• Current transformer inputs for non-contact measurement
• Phase sequence error detection*
• Channel-to-channel calibration**
• No-load threshold detection***
• Optical pulse indication of energy usage
• Built-in real-time clock (RTC)
• Data logs stored for up to 60 days
• Accuracy Class B (IEC 62053-21)
• Photovoltaic (PV) ready

* Detects phase sequence errors by monitoring voltage zero-crossing order (A→B→C expected). If A→C→B is detected, a phase sequence error is reported.

** Requires minimum 500 W load per channel.

*** Below 30 VA per channel, power is displayed but energy is not accumulated in statistics.

Use cases

• Residential: Track and optimize household energy use
• MDU: Multi-apartment or hotel energy monitoring
• Light commercial: Office buildings, retail, or restaurants
• Agricultural: Farms, barns, and silos
• Government/municipal: Utility and infrastructure monitoring
• University/college: Facility energy management
