Hi, thanks for your answer.
The relay solution isn't quite practical, because of space & noise.
I won't be able to fir 2 or 3 relays in a box behind a switch + a Shelly unit.
Is there anything I can do using a resistor / diode / some other component?
Hello,
I have a technical issue, and I really hope you can help me find a solution:
I got a bunch of Shelly switches (1, 2.5, dimmer, RGBW etc.) and Livolo touch switches which I want to hook together.
The Livolo switches are simple - no wifi, RF or other smart feature. Also, they do not connect to null line but they do rely on the potential from the component (lamp etc.) in order to operate - since it's a touch product and uses relays.
When I connect the Livolo switch (any switch) to a Shelly (any Shelly) - it does not turn on at all. I learned that it's because the Shelly does not supply the required potential.
I went ahead and ordered the "Livolo Load" / "Livolo Led Adapter" - which basically acts as a dummy load, connected to the null line and to the L out of the switch in order to supply power to the switch.
When I connect it, the switch does turn on, but the Shelly always sees it as "on" state. From what I can understand and read online - it might be because the switch always outputs some current, meaning that in "off" state it outputs around 5-6VAC, but I also measured 110VAC one time (my main current is 240VAC).
Is there any way, any component or connection method I can use in order to make it work?
I am highly invested in both Shelly units AND Livolo units - I have a large quantity, and at this point a transfer to a different product will involve high costs.
Really hope you can help.
