I’m excited to share my recent project of upgrading our home lighting system with Shelly Dimmers. After some research, I decided to replace our traditional mechanical switches with these smart dimmers to enjoy more flexibility and control over our lighting setup. However, I’ve encountered a few challenges that I’d love to get some advice on.
Our hallway has five pendant lights connected to a single circuit, and we currently have six switches controlling them. I’ve been trying to configure the Shelly Dimmer to work seamlessly with this setup. The goal is to have one switch control the main lighting and another for a nightlight feature. However, I’m finding it tricky to map the switch actions correctly, especially with multiple switches involved.
I’ve read through the documentation, but I’m still unclear on whether I need a standard Dimmer or the Dimmer SL for this application. Additionally, I’m wondering how the neutral wire configuration will affect the setup, as I believe it’s located in the breaker panel near the existing switch.
Has anyone successfully implemented a similar setup? Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated! I’m really looking forward to getting this project completed and enjoying the convenience of smart lighting control.
