Is this wiring method correct?

  • Hi everyone,

    I am living in a led strip installed house. The led strip is divided into 4 pieces (per wall) in every room to get more brightness from LEDs.

    I am using rgbw2 for 6 months to control the led strips. I connected the wires as shown in the diagram below. Every wall is connected to different pin independently.

    So in the end there is one little problem. I got 4 light bulb buttons for every room. :( I know there is a grouping feature in the Shelly app but I prefer to use Google Assistant and planning to move Homekit.

    Is this wiring method correct? How can I achieve the one-button experience?

  • The connection diagram would be correct if the 4 buttons were supplied with voltage via the power pack.

    In the settings there is the item Button Type:

    There you have to switch to Momentary for button switches.

    hmm. To be more clear I need to make 4 buttons to one. Like the physical switch shown on the diagram.

    I want to open and control the brightness of the 4 led strips at the same time via one button, not four.

    When I need to open the room lights, I am going to the Google Home app, and tap 4 light bulbs one by one. I don't like that.

  • I don't think that will work with direct representation with the RGBW2. One possibility would be to work with several Shelly actuators behind buttons and to control the individual channels of the RGBW2 via actions/webhooks and HTTP commands. With long/short/(double) push there should be many options to send different commands. If all buttons/switches are in one place, maybe with Shelly i4/ I4 DC, there's even more to do.
