Two way switch with shelly

  • Hello everyone,

    I'm new here and I need your help with two way switch automation with shelly.

    In the figure below I have existing insallation of the circuit and I can not add another wire in this installation.

    Is there any option how to add shelly relay i this circuit and controll with my phone and also to remain control from two switches.

    To your question: A Shelly needs both live and neutral potential to do his work. And it must be placed at switch SW2 to get access to the lamp wire. Thus, you’ll have to alter your 2 way switch diagram to an “economical 2 way switch” diagram, which gives access at SW 2 to both live and neutral wires:

    Above is the diagram for this circuit. Please do us the favour to modify the circuit BEFORE adding the Shelly! You may check the function and after that, you may add a Shelly 1 or Shelly plus 1 according this diagram:

    This sketch is identical to the diagram in the forum’s lexicon area:

  • As I can see from your drawing in order to convert to “economical 2 way switch” I need another wire between SW1 and SW2.

    In my case is impossible to add another wire in the circuit between elements.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Right - one wire is missing! Obviously, you’re misusing the green/yellow PE wire to connect SW1 and SW2?!

    Another way with three wires only would be the modification of the two switches to buttons:

    It is often possible to modify the buttons itself: Adding a small spring turns them to buttons,
