Is Shelly dimmer 2 flaky without neutral?

  • Hello,

    I am quite disappointed with the dimmer 2. I bought two recently. In a room with a good wifi coverage, I setup a model circuits to test them without neutral (in practice a lamp on one side attached to a socket and the dimmer 2 in the middle). In one case it did work, on the other it didn't. What happened in the second case is that after having included and added the dimmer to the cloud I tested it by clicking on the switch on/off button on the IOS App. After that, the lamp which was attached at the end of the circuit went on, but the dimmer went off totally. No connection to the wifi and no led on inside the dimmer. After that I attached the neutral to the faulty dimmer and restarted the circuit, in this case I had no problem. Now, I have no use of a dimmer which only works with a neutral. Does anybody had this type of problem? I was planning to buy a few, but now I think I will not.

    Bye!
