Why should you learn how to automate your home?
Shelly devices are built to deliver advanced functionality—unlockable through the right code. If you already own some, why not take full advantage of their potential? Automation is shaping the future, AI is already here, and smart homes are no longer a concept—they’re a reality you can create today.
Shelly devices offer a wide range of automations you can program.
Here are some, but not all, of them:
- Weather-triggered scenes - Easily create scenes that respond to the weather forecast and have your home automatically adjust to nature.
- Smart lighting - Timed, dimmed, voice-, or scene-controlled light routines.
- Blinds & doors - program doors and blinds to open/close under different conditions.
- Energy-saving strategies - Run heavy appliances during cheaper tariffs or when usage is low.
- Detect problems early on - Your devices can signal you in case of leakage or overheating.
Where should you start from?
To develop a solid base, we recommend starting with the Shelly Scripting Basics course. It's designed to teach you the basics without overcomplicating the process.
SoftUni offers what most universities lack – a modern curriculum with an emphasis on practical experience and hands-on projects, rather than solely on theory. During my time there, SoftUni gave me the ability to develop full-stack projects from start to finish and prepared me for the professional world. The most important thing I learned at SoftUni is that in software engineering every problem has a solution. I obtained this mindset thanks to the young and ambitious lecturers, who repeatedly demonstrated this through coding examples.
The most important lesson I learned from my education at SoftUni is the value of gaining a deeper understanding of fundamental concepts. I still remember when we had to create a web framework from scratch in one of the courses. Going through this rigorous learning process helped me better grasp the technology, an essential asset for when you start working. SoftUni's team of trainers is highly professional. Within a relatively short time, we were able to cover a lot of ground, allowing me to also gain and hone in on numerous new skills.
SoftUni is a great place to make the first step that just might change your life – it happened to me. I know software engineering seems hard, but SoftUni has a great learning program that starts with baby steps and you learn new skills in stages. Once you join the program it will not be easy, but trust me - don’t give up!
All of the lecturers I met were great people and professionals. They were always there to help. The courses were exhaustive enough to give me the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to start a job."
