Shelly FrankEver Sprinkler FK-06X

The Shelly FrankEver Sprinkler FK-06X is an intelligent 6-zone irrigation controller that takes your garden irrigation to the next level. It allows precise and independent control of up to six irrigation areas – ideal for lawns, flower beds, or greenhouses. Thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity, the controller can be integrated into your home network without additional hubs and conveniently operated via the Shelly Smart Control App. Additionally, the device features Bluetooth for quick setup and as a gateway for Shelly BLU sensors. The integrated weather automation automatically adjusts irrigation schedules based on temperature and precipitation data to avoid overwatering and save water. Manual buttons and LED indicators directly on the device allow you to quickly operate on-site if needed – even without the internet. Extensive schedules and automations can be set up for each zone individually, including sequences that run consecutively. The 24 V AC outputs are compatible with common solenoid valves and open up versatile applications, from garden irrigation to the control of underfloor heating valves. Even if no cloud is used, the system can be fully controlled offline via the local web interface and seamlessly integrated into smart home platforms like Home Assistant. Overall, the Shelly FrankEver Sprinkler FK-06X offers a reliable, versatile, and smart solution to efficiently automate irrigation systems.

Features:

• 6-zone control: Allows independent irrigation of up to six zones, with each zone able to be individually named, timed, and customized.
• 24 V AC valve outputs: Six outputs (including a common COM terminal) for controlling standard solenoid valves in irrigation systems or, for example, 24 V valves of an underfloor heating system.
• Standalone operation: Integrated buttons and LED indicators on the device allow manual starts/stops and display the status of each zone at a glance – even without an app or the internet.
• Cloud management: Full support for the Shelly Smart Control App and web platform enables remote access, monitoring, and control of all zones from anywhere via smartphone or computer.
• Weather-based automation: Utilizes historical weather data (temperature and precipitation of the last 24 hours) to automatically adjust irrigation cycles and prevent overwatering.
• Advanced scheduling: Offers flexible schedules, sequential switching of multiple zones one after the other, and versatile automation rules for an optimized irrigation strategy.
• No hub required: Connects directly via Wi-Fi to your network – an additional hub or bridge is not necessary as the device communicates independently.
• Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity: Supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) for wireless control and also acts as a Bluetooth gateway for Shelly BLU sensors; the Bluetooth function also facilitates initial installation.
• Range extender: The controller simultaneously serves as a Wi-Fi range extender, improving connectivity in remote garden areas.
• Local web interface: All functions can also be controlled and configured directly in the local network without an internet connection via an integrated web server (ideal for offline operation and LAN/MQTT integration).
• Wide smart-home compatibility: Can be integrated into popular smart-home systems – supports Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Homey, as well as direct integration into Home Assistant via MQTT or Shelly API.
• Robust design: Weatherproof housing (IP55 protection) for outdoor or damp room use, with high-quality workmanship for long-lasting operation.
• Shelly ecosystem functions: Master all standard functions of the Shelly platform like timers, schedules, webhooks, and scenes, allowing the sprinkler to work seamlessly with other Shelly devices.

Application Examples:

• Automatic garden irrigation, where six areas (lawns, flower beds, hedges, etc.) are reliably watered according to individually specified schedules.
• Weather-dependent lawn irrigation that automatically pauses during rain and extends the watering duration during heat periods to ensure optimal moisture.
• Precise drip irrigation in greenhouses or vegetable beds, controlled by the Shelly Sprinkler and optionally networked with soil moisture sensors via Home Assistant for needs-based watering.
• Remote irrigation control in weekend homes or holiday resorts: Using the Shelly app, irrigation can be started, stopped, or adjusted remotely to take care of plants even when absent.
• Controlling an underfloor heating system in up to six zones (e.g., with Danfoss 24 V valve actuators): The controller switches the heating circuits on and off based on time and thus allows smart regulation of the underfloor heating.
