Shelly Dimmer 2 Wiring Check? Turning wall light switch into smart wall switch, hard wired

wotcha

If I use this wiring diagram does it turn my wall switch into a smart wall switch? Meaning that even if the wall switch turns OFF, power will remain to the module and I can use the app to turn the lights ON again?

Any pointers will be most most most appreciated

Good job! Circuit diagram is correct. You could have found this in the lexicon section of the forum:

(For the diagram it is not relevant if a switch or a button is used.)

Thank you for the confirmation! For first time installation & testing — to make sure the wall switch works, do I have to have the app running? Or can I just test it that the wall switch works and turns the lights ON & OFF like normal (without the app)?

During the installation process, you’ll have to include the Shelly in your WLAN. This is possible without the app, with WebUI only. Accessing the Shelly via its own IP address is a famous way to configure and test the Shelly.

Okay, thanks I’ve done that. Connected to the dimmer as an AP and wired according to the diagram above. I’ve also watched a few YouTube’s…. But now my wall switch does not respond as a normal switch.

The wall switch in the OFF position, does not turn the lights off. Flicking the switch on the wall turns off the lights one out of every 10 of the time, and very slowly. What can I do?
