how come the shelly1pm is getting warmer when the load increases. it is using a relay

Hello,

i notice that the shelly1pm is getting warmer when turned on. not much because i have a small load.

However i see people complaining that it is getting hot when a high load is switched, why is that?

if it was using some kind of semiconductor it would make sense but the 1pm is using a relay and that one has very low resistance

Aha. now it makes sense. lucky for me the load is max 20 watts(8 watt most of the time)

Brilliant argumentation! But you ignored Shelly 1PM has an integrated energy metering, which uses a shunt resistor to determine the value of the flowing current. The more current, the more heat…
