Shelly introduced the Wall Display X2 at CES 2025, a new smart panel designed to fit into a wall electrical box that you can use to control your smart home.

The display makes it easy for anybody in the household to control smart lights, thermostats, and more by simply tapping its 6.95-inch touchscreen. It also has built-in temperature, humidity, and light sensors.

The Shelly Wall Display X2 stands out from rivals with its built-in relay functionality, which means you can add smarts to switches, outlets, fixtures, and more. So, for example, it will add smart capabilities to an existing circuit if you wire it up where there was a light switch.

The panel can also be used to create customizable scenes, play music, and show information like real-time power usage and the weather.

The Wall Display X2 works with all Shelly devices and Home Assistant. It supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Shelly didn’t announce pricing or a release date but said that the Shelly Wall Display X2 should be available internationally in Q1, with US availability to follow.
