    Good afternoon all!

    I have a solar diverter installed which diverts any excess solar power to my hot water cylinder immersion heater. I would like to use a shelly device to measure the temperature of the tank and also monitor the power which is diverted to it. The problem I am facing is my solar diverter is a long way from my hot water cylinder so if I connect a shelly device to my immersion heater supply, the shelly device will only power up when the diverter has turned the power on. I understand this is not ideal.

    I am however able to tap off of a near by socket to get a live supply to the shelly device so my question is.......Can I use a permanent live supply from a nearby socket to power the device and then connect the immersion heater to the switch output for monitoring the power consumption of the heater?

    Thanks inadvance!
