I recently decided to upgrade my home automation setup by integrating the Shelly 1PM into my system. After some research, I opted for the Gen2 model with power monitoring, as it seemed more future-proof for my needs. My main goal was to control a water boiler and an air conditioner, both of which are connected via smart plugs for energy monitoring.
Initially, I was a bit confused about the wiring setup, especially with the L and N terminals. After some trial and error, I realized that connecting the L1 directly to the switch worked perfectly without any issues. The power monitoring feature has been a great addition, allowing me to track energy usage in real-time.
One thing I found particularly useful was the ability to pair the Shelly 1PM with an AddOn module for temperature and humidity sensing. This integration has added an extra layer of environmental monitoring to my setup. I’d recommend exploring this feature if you’re looking to expand your system’s capabilities.
Overall, the Shelly 1PM has exceeded my expectations. It’s reliable, easy to set up, and offers a wide range of customization options. If you’re considering adding smart control to your appliances, I highly recommend giving this device a try!
