HiFi amplifier 12V Trigger out connector

  • Hi to all,

    is there any Shelly relay(?) suitable for sensing 12V trigger voltage as found on HiFi equipment (so called Trigger out port). I have a preamplifier with TRIGGER OUT and would like to power ON/OFF three other devices in my stereo setup. Other three devices are plugged in Shelly smart plug and are lacking TRIGGER IN ports. For example:

    - When preamp is powered on-> 12V are detected on TRIGGER OUT -> Relay (?) senses the voltage -> Relay (?) turns Shelly smart plug on

    - When preamp is powered off-> 0 or lower voltage is detected on TRIGGER OUT -> Relay (?) senses no/lower voltage -> Relay (?) turns Shelly smart plug off

    I have some Shellys 1 laying around, could I use them for this? Any help is highly appreciated.

  • A Shelly UNI, powered by steady 12V DC (possibly from power supply of preamp) and its digital input IN-1 connected to TRIGGER OUT would do the job. Both outputs of Shelly UNI are not used, cause the on command to the Shelly plugs are transmitted by http over the WLAN.

  • Yes, indeed!

  • Thank you!

    Edit:That didn't work. I had to wire 12V trigger voltage to ANALOG IN & GND on UNI to make it work.
