    I've looked back through the treads but I can't find any information on dimming the same lamps from multiple locations on intermediate or 2way switches. Is this possible and if so what modules would I need to achieve please?

    I'm using retractive switches, which are compatible with the shelly dimmers. The circuit has the switch line, line and 2 way cables in one location, intermediate switches in 2 further locations and a final location with 2 way switches presently. These 4 locations all control the lights. If I was to install retractive 2way light switches in all 4 locations would I be able to use Shelly Dimmers in all 4 locations to dim the lights in each independently of one another OR as in a conventional lighting setup is this solely possible at the first location with the switch line.

    Many thanks in advance. Dave

    Welcome to the forum!

    To your issue: Did you have a glimpse at the forum‘s lexicon area? There you may find a lot of diagrams, like this:

    An intermediate switch may be thought in the middle between the two 2-way switches and doesn’t interfere the scheme…

    Dimming with switches: In general, dimming with switches isn’t practicable. You’ll need push buttons to select the proper light intensity reliably! With switches you may switch on and off, but dimming should be done via the app or the WebUI…
