AC & DC voltages with Shelly1Plus

    Hi all,

    quick question to better understand a usage.

    1) in Lexicon the irrigating diagram shows that shelly is powered via 240VAC and the solenoid (that takes power from a converter) is controlled via shelly. Is it OK to power Shelly from the same converter with 24V DC?

    2) i suppose that the shelly is not powering DC devices right? in other words is not acting as a converter. Right?

    Question 1: Yes, it is possible to supply the Shelly plus 1 with low voltage from the same source as the actors are supplied from.

    Question 2: IMHO, there is no Shelly existing which powers other devices. Most of the Shelly actors are controlling other devices, but do not convert voltage and/or current.
