Shelly 1 - how to choose correct wiring?

janisz

So.. thankfully found this forum, but didn't find the right answer. Unfortunately I have different kind of setup for outdoor lights switch - it connects 6 outdoor lamps somewhere in house, and it seems there is no (?) neutral wire. I added image to post.

I tried connection diagram "special" but couldn't get Shelly1 up.

Brown line is L (always on). Blue - neutral (no power)? I have possibility to take another L line from switch beside.

Any suggestions? I don't plan to use this as normal switch, but to use Shelly 1 and OpenHab for turning lights on/off.

You are right.

The blue line is no "neutral wire", it 's a switched L-line.

The diagram "special" needs a N-wire, otherways there is no chance the shelly1 is working. Sorry.

Are your 6 lamps LED's or halogen?

What is the total wattage of those 6 lamps?

For each lamp 2 LED bulbs - each of them 6 Watts, so 72 Watts total.

Do you have a socket near your switch?

If yes, you can take there the power supply for the Shelly.
