What is the difference with replacing this switch by a double switch and separating the connections? The same brown L line is switched to the lights/fan except that an additional wire is used?

Yes I know this is a possible solution, it is not possible to have them all together on 1 physical switch, s.t. only 1 light is controlled by the shelly dimmer 2?

Dear all,

At my toilet I have 2 LED lights and a fan for mechanical ventilation. Preferably I only want to dim 1 light, so I connected 1 light to the shelly dimmer 2 and the other LED light and the fan are connected directly to the switching wire (see attachment).

When I power it I am possible to control the light via the shelly app on my phone, but the physical switch does not work? Moreover, I also saw that the light which is controlled by the dimmer 2 is flickering. Is there any solution to this such that one light is connected to the dimmer 2 and the other light and fan are connected directly to the switching wire such that I am able to control 1 light via the shelly app, and also that the physical switch is able to turn on/off both lights and the fan?

That last scheme is possible (Two-way switch without Neutral (N)). The two switches are connected to the light and to the output of the shelly 1L, one of the other wires from the swtich I can find in the junction box, the other wire I can create in the junction box.

I do have a neutral line in this box, should I still not connect it?

That was also what I thought at first glance, but I opened up both junction boxes and I didn't saw the lamp wire. The problem is that the wire from both switch boxes go to a central box in the ceiling (which is not reachable), where they are connected to each other and to the lamp wire.

So is there another option to create this connection correctly? maybe with 2 shelly's, one in either switch box and connect these via software or something?

Thankyou this makes sense. However, I'm still stuck with a problem. Currently the gray wire from the two switches is directly connected to light and I have no possibility to disconnect this. Is there still another way to do this, maybe something is possible with 2 shelly's?

Hi All,

At my home I have a two-way switch with 2 wires (instead of 3), see the diagram in the attachment. Is it possible to connect a shelly such that I can still operate the physical two-way switches as intended and also use the shelly whenever I want? I know a shelly 1L is used to control a general two-way switch, but my two-way switch has one less wire and the standard connection would not work.
