Connectung Shelly Dimmer 2 to exhaust fan via prado push button. Click turn fan on and imidiately off.

HI.

I am trying to connect the exhaust fan to Prado push button via Shelly Dimmer 2.

- push button: https://prado.eu/products/rond-2-0-push-buttons/

It works from the Shelly app interface, but if I click the button, it switches the fan on and immediately off.

I would assume that pressing the button produces 2 signals.

What can I do from the shelly side to fix the situation?

Regards. Anton.

Welcome to the forum!

Would strictly recommend to observe the warning note in the manual of Shelly Dimmer2 (red box):

Thanks, I will keep this in mind.
But what about the push button problem?
I have it wherever I connect a fan or lightbulb.

Also, about fan:

Can I use any Shelly device to control my ceiling fan? I want to turn it on/off and control the speed.

The Shelly relays can switch OFF/ON the ceiling fan, but they cannot control the speed of the ceiling fan. The Dimmer 2 is not capable of this as well too.

Looks like it's ok to turn it on and of, but not change the speed. And that's what I need. Turn it on and off.

Ok, let’s talk about light bulbs…

The Prado button needs electrical power to operate. Thus, it must be connected between mains supply and consumer load. Unfortunately, pin SW of Shelly Dimmer2 (at which one line of the Prado is connected) delivers not enough energy. This is why the circuit will not work.

Would recommend to use a relay/contactor with 230V AC coil and a NO contact. The coil is connected at Prado pin and neutral; the contact between live and pin SW of Shelly Dimmer2.
