Use Shelly 1 without any external switch

  • Hello,

    today I received my Shelly 1.
    What I wanted to achieve is basically to use it to turn on / off lights via Alexa.

    My setup looks like this:

    - brown wire - input Phase > connected to "L”

    - blue wire - input N > connected to "N"

    - brown wire > going to 5 LED array

    - blue wire > going to 5 LED array

    What I tried was to "simply" not attach anything to the "SW" port as I don't have or need an external switch.
    I was somehow hoping, that I could turn the switch on / off via the Shelly app and ultimatively with Alexa in the end.

    I could use the shelly app, add the Shelly 1 as new device, and now I am also able to use the app and tap that virtual "ON" "OFF" switch.
    When I do that I clearly hear the relay's click. But the lights are not switching on.

    When I checked the output ports with the phasing tester, I could see that there was output at all when switching.

    Am I missing something?

    Is this device also meant to work for my scenario or do I need a switch to get this to work?

    Thanks a lot

  • First of all thanks for your quick response!

    No, my LEDs are permanently off right now.
    They don't turn on.

    If I ignore the right part of you image (switch and transmitter), I realize that I clearly did NOT wire my lights like the receiver / socket setup.

    This is what I did instead:

    Obviously my wiring does not work, so I'll try your suggestion tomorrow.

    Thank you VERY much!
