Can I connect neutral to SW input?

  • Yes, you can. Switching with neutral potential consumes a bit more energy (300mW whilst switch is closed) as with live potential switching (100μW). Thus, the temperature inside the Shelly will raise some degrees…

    But is is really relevant with switches only. If you use a pushbutton, it is not worth to talk about…
