Using an Analog dimmer switch with a Shelly 1

  • Hello,

    This might quickly turn into a lesson on searching Shelly Forums as I thought my question would be a common one. My wife wants an analog dimmer installed, which she will never use, and I already have a Shelly 1 successfully installed on the light switch. I was looking for a way to integrate a cheap, rotary, analog, dimmer knob to the existing setup and was wondering if I could just insert it inline between the light(load) and the "O" terminal on the Shelly 1? Is this a bad idea? Here is the wiring diagram I would like to present to my electrician (FYI, we are in Australia so it is Deta Dimmer Switch from Bunnings):

    Thank you!

  • Same question as above, but with the Shelly 1L instead. Wanted to use SW2 as a detached switch for another project once the wife realizes we never use the dimmer knob. Thanks for the response!

  • Just wanted to follow-up and say that I implemented both of these options and they both worked great. In the end, I went with the Shelly 1L design, above, so that I can wire up SW2 with a detached switch when the dimmer knob is no longer needed.
