Shelly Wiring Inside Lamp

  • Hi and welcome to the forum. :)

    Sorry if I'm very direct: you're not an electrician, are you?

    The wires on the Shelly are stripped for way too long!

    In your picture, this leads to a short circuit between SW and I!

    I would guess the rest.

    But when it comes to electrics by color, I'm out. Please get someone with the appropriate expertise and a suitable measuring device to help you.

    This protects you, your family and your house.

  • Here are my suggestions to insure a safe, successful installation.

    Have proper tools available. Especially while learning.

    1. A GOOD wire stripper. Makes it easier strip proper amount and not nick conductor.
    2. A Non Contact Voltage tester. These are very useful in determining which wire is supplying power safely.

    3. An inexpensive Digital Multimeter. Ability to measure voltage and continuity.

    4 Good screwdrivers of correct size. Especially important with the screws on Shellys

    Before you put something in the wall or ceiling, connect it and configure it on your workbench, or kitchen table. That may require you to purchase some wire, switches and boxes. Doing this will increase your chances of success by 100%
