You are correct, while I understood the electrical side of the equation, I was struggling to understand the relay side combined with the application settings. I was able to get a 12v setup and dry contact relay to function as desired. I did watch a video on someone who set up a reed switch and placed it in SW and the 12v negative or ground terminal to decipher its condition prior to the execution of the contact open/close function.

Thank you for your reply; so I may not have the correct Shelly device, or this isnt an intended function? I did try a 12V setup with one wire in the SW and the other in the "I" (input) but I gather this is also not the correct config.

I purchased a Shelly 1 Gen 3 to monitor a reed switch so I can program it to notify me when the condition changes. I have a box for packages and I need to know when that lid has been opened (or if it has not been fully closed). Looking thru the documentation I find this is possible with this switch, but I am having difficulty configuring this switch to achieve the outcome.

I have powering with 120v (US) for testing purposes. I do have a 12v supply I can swap in case that makes a difference.

My reed switches have yet to arrive so I have configured the dry contact with a twisted pair of solid copper to complete and break the circuit. So far no matter what configuration, setting, or pinout that I set will give me any "state of change" indication.

I need some help getting going here.

Thanks in advance, J
