#Shelly1L

[@rklauco]

I love those guys in Shelly. They are the only ones I would consider to use without flashing the Tasmota.

[@notenoughtech]

I'm 💯 with you on that one

[@CamiloSperberg]

Oh I didn’t knew it had 2 switches! Now *that* is interesting for me because my kitchen does not have an L line and it must handle 2 set of lights... one of them are 6 GU10 LED’s so I’m hoping for more then 20w consumption there. Thanks for the great explanation!

[@notenoughtech]

Bypass isn't a big deal so the worse case scenario you will have to add one

[@AP05TLE]

Great video again! one thing you didn't mention much (but is a killer feature of the shelly dimmer) is the ability to read the state of two physical switches. You can then use a second physical wall switch to control any smart device (e.g curtains, lamps, LED strips, or lights in another part of the room)

[@notenoughtech]

Oh - that's a good point. I will add this to the article

[@AP05TLE]

In case it is useful, here is the mqtt info to sense the state of the second switch (at least for a Shelly dimmer in HA) binary_sensor: - platform: mqtt name: "test dimmer" state_topic: "shellies/shellydimmer-/input/1" payload_on: "1" payload_off: "0"

[@notenoughtech]

Thanks for sharing

[@EsotericArctos]

These are really interesting. A lot of companies bringing out no neutral now. It will be good when they get proper power monitoring in with these as well as the only product I know that is no neutral with proper power monitoring is a Z-Wave device by Aeotec and that is ridiculously expensive. Thanks for showing this off.

[@notenoughtech]

For lights this monitoring isn't bad as there is no dimming. It should be pretty accurate.

[@EsotericArctos]

@@notenoughtech Yes, it is better than nothing . I can just be a little pedantic at times :) I am sure it wouldnt be hard to add a power monitor to these no neutral devices.

[@notenoughtech]

I reckon it isn't hard... Just expensive. ;) But that's my bet. I like the price range of Shelly 1L it's more appealing

[@ianhindle891]

Hi, another great video. A question. When using the bypass device, does it buzz at all? I've looked at a number of 'no neutral' switches along with different capacitor options. So far, not one has worked without a noticeable buzz from the capacitor. As a result I've never actually installed a 'no neutral' switch because the buzz from all the combinations would just be too loud.

[@notenoughtech]

Silent completely silent

[@ianhindle891]

@@notenoughtech that's good. Thanks for the update.

[@notenoughtech]

Happy to help

[@max9111]

Hi, have you tried installing them in the wall next to AC cables? In my experience with shelli dimmer without neutral, it worked fine without neutral on a bench, but then inside the wall it didn't. Maybe effects from induction?

[@Viralplace]

Is better the shelly or Aqara T1?

[@reesericdotci]

FINALLY! I bought one, and there was no good video and of course I got the wiring wrong :)

[@notenoughtech]

Hope you didn't end up like me and sonoff dual re 🙈🙈🙈

[@reesericdotci]

@@notenoughtech i think what happened was that I'm trying to wire up a ceiling fan and it's tripping the relay in the shelly. is this likely?

[@notenoughtech]

@@reesericdotci the limit is 5A. I'm not sure what your fan draws but inductive current usually is magnitude higher than resistive (lights) so I wouldn't recommend this unit for anything else than lights

[@DannyDM00]

I have yet to buy a Shelly device, but I still dont know which one.. I would like to control a dimmable light which has 2 switches. Does that matter at all with choosing the right Shelly? And I'm sorry if i've missed it, but what makes the 1L better than the others?

[@notenoughtech]

There is a Shelly for dimming shelly.cloud/products/shelly-dimmer-2-smart-home-light-controller/ Which will do the dimming for you

[@FedericoGranata]

The documentation states that the button on the back of the device is to reset it but you say that it could be programmed in the app ...

[@notenoughtech]

Yes you can assign the function of the button in the app

[@FedericoGranata]

@@notenoughtech I don't want to sound rude but ... are you sure? I can't find any info about this feature. I can find info only about programmable buttons 1 and 2 ... What can you do with the reset button? Beside resetting the device :D Sorry but it looks so strange to me that a reset button can be programmed to do something else ...

[@notenoughtech]

Define long push duration for a custom action. Option allows you to specify the time in ms

[@j00h]

I've always wondered why Shelly have never gone down the Zigbee route?

[@notenoughtech]

The WiFI chip they have in their new Motion Sensor looks interesting though

[@j00h]

I have one of these in my bathroom and really happy with it

[@ronm6585]

Thanks.

[@miket.1933]

So you know and mention that the user who watches your video for help does have to connect the Bypass at the lamp and not at the switch. Why would you not show a test build where you connected it that way to help your viewers?

[@notenoughtech]

Bypass will depend on the lights used in your wiring. As the location of the cap is well illustrated in the manual attached to the switch I didn't think there is a need to show that part as it will be dependant on your individual installation

[@diederikmaes2367]

I probably missed something. Everybody is crazy about Shelly but I have stupid Chinese Zigbee switches that don't give me any of these restrictions or problems or limitations. Maybe I don't stumble upon these restrictions but it remsins weird that one should live with all these caveats...

[@notenoughtech]

It's down to personal needs and preferences. If it works for you then it's great. It's good to be aware of what's out there in case there is a new idea in your head to pursue

[@tupacpsp]

So is this the same as the new HUE wall switch?

[@notenoughtech]

Not quite. Hue is ZigBee this is WiFi. The principle of use is the same tho
