Hi there,
Sharing this as it may help others.
I have a bunch of Shelly devices. I first installed a couple of Shelly 1 without any problems. Then had to install a 1L for a switch without neutral. After installing it, I thought something was wrong with the device as the physical switch did not work at all to turn the light on or off when wired in SW1 only. The device could be controlled by the app though. I tried with a spare 1L. Behaviour was the same. Then, I did give a try on SW2 only (without connecting SW1) and the physical switch was working. I noticed the same behaviour on my second Shelly 1L (I've only got 2 Shelly 1L).
Cheers
