Shelly Group’s smart control app now available in Audi Cars

Shelly Group AD brings a native version of its Shelly Smart Control App to select Audi models. To this end, the Shelly Smart Control app based on the Android Automotive OS will be available in the Audi Application Store. Customers can thus use the user-friendly range of functions for intelligent home automation intuitively via the familiar user interface of their vehicle’s infotainment system. This includes, for example, automatically opening and closing the garage door, and switching on the lights in the garage, in other rooms or throughout the house when coming home or leaving the house.

The integration of the Shelly Smart Control app into the Audi Application Store is carried out in cooperation with CARIAD, Volkswagen Group’s software company and Harman Ignite. It gives customers access to a wide variety of popular third-party apps, which are integrated into the infotainment system of the car. Regular online updates keep the apps in the infotainment system up to date.

Dimitar Dimitrov, the CEO and founder of Shelly Group, said, “We are thrilled to become part of Audi’s highly attractive digital ecosystem. As is our ambition, users are at the heart of the new functions and application areas of our app. With the native integration of our Shelly Smart Control app, we are further expanding our customer focus and technology leadership. We are confident that Audi customers will enjoy the integration of smart home in a customisable infotainment system.”

Wolfgang Kirsch, the CEO of Shelly Group, said, „The integration of our Shelly Smart Control app emphasises the relevance of the integration capability of technologies in the most diverse ecosystems as a success factor. This blending of different areas of life through smart technology will become even more important in the future. Our solutions are already being used in numerous products and services from well-known partners. We are therefore very proud that our technologically leading app and its innovations also meet Audi’s demands for exclusivity and performance.”
