Sorry - I don't use a home automation system! But in the Shelly App and/or the WebUI you have to touch only one button to switch lights on/off albeit there are two SW inputs!
Interesting, thanks for all the help!

In the (rare) case you don’t want to change your wiring, you may use this diagram:

But you will need a Shelly 1L and - if your lights have a wattage of less than 20W - an additional Shelly Bypass. Please be aware that live potential is connected to pin O of Shelly 1L and the lamp wire to pin L! This is correct and was tested. The bypass should be wired in parallel to the lights (perhaps in the ceiling rose)…
Thanks for this! Rewiring isn't worth it since its a rental and don't want to make changes I might have to undo later.
Seems like a 1L is the only option if I can't use a 1 given the current wiring
Out of curiosity, how have you configured the 1L? Do you have 2 switches in your home automation software to control them individually or somehow treat them as one "virtual" switch and still make use of the physical ones as intended?
Your wiring diagram is wrong!
Hey 66er!
Thanks for the input! The diagram itself is correct. I have also attached a picture of the wiring behind one of the switches (both wried in the same way). I have checked using a screw driver tester as I've flipped in the switches (on on, on off, off on, off off).
Any suggestions on if it's possible to wire a Shelly 1 given the set up?
Looking at your link, the economical two way switch looks the "closest". The way I understand it, is taking the output (black wire in my case) from one of the switches to a Wago. Then adding 2 wires to the same wago, one back to the swtich again, and one to output on the Shelly.
Thanks for the help so far!
I am struggling to find the right way (if possible) to wire a single shelly 1 device to correctly control my hallway lights which are operated using two switches.
I have included a wiring diagram of my set up.
I have seen other posts suggesting to place the shelly above the light but this isn't possible with my setup.
Any help would be appreciated!036986EF-7D46-4F5B-B6BB-FE72DB2FC3BB.jpeg
How do you increase the brightness? Through the UI, or through the physical switch? What kind of switch do you have installed?
Brightness is only done via the app (UI).
The switch is the red highlighted one in the picture. Your regular old "rocker" switch. One position for off, one position for on.
Set as Edge in Shelly so I can just press it and have it turn on or off regardless of actual position of physical switch.
So this one seems a little different to some of the other flickering issues I have read.
I have installed the dimmer to a single switch as shown in the diagram.
O to Bulb
L input from Mains
L output to Wago which connects to the light switch, and a live to a 2pin socket that is under the switch (have attached a picture of the switch where you can see the socket that is being powered). Nothing is ever connected to the 2pin socket for power.
SW1 connected to the light switch.
No neutral connected (no N wire present in wall)
No bypass connected
The switch is connected to a 6 bulb lamp in the ceiling (connected via a DCL, I live in Sweden). I have 6, E27 6W LED (dimmable) bulbs connected to the "chandelier".
All app functions work as well as the physical switch as expected.
Lights turn off completely/no flickering etc when light switch is off or app set to off
However, when I increase the brightness of the bulbs past around 25-30% I start to see intermittent flickering. The bulbs dim slightly then go back up to set brightness. This happens every so often (5mins or so). As the brightness increases the time between flickering decreases/gets more frequent. When I get to 100% the bulbs essentially begins flashing, the app and light switch become unresponsive. After around 5 seconds the lights turn off. I have to wait a further 5 seconds or so until everything becomes responsive and I can use the light switch or app again.
Below is a capture of the log when I turn it up to 100% and it becomes unresponsive. As well as settings and status. The bulbs have been calibrated (no bypass) via the web GUI.
