Shelly Dimmer 2 without any load switches off automatically after 5 seconds, is this normal?

  • I got maybe 20 different Shelly's, 1's, PM and Dimmer.

    They are mostly working great.

    I have two new Dimmer 2 which is connected to power and a momentary switch. However, these two Dimmer 2 are not hooked up to any lights yet. When I turn them on, they automatically switch off after 5 seconds.

    Is this normal because there are no load on the Dimmer 2?

    I have not set them up to automatically switch off.

    Just want to confirm if there's an issue or not.

  • No, sorry - this behaviour is not common! A Shelly Dimmer2 runs actually for more than 5 minutes without load.
