As someone who’s recently dove into the world of smart home technology, I’ve been absolutely thrilled by the possibilities it offers. I started with a simple test—installing a Shelly 1 Plus PM to control a lamp, and it worked like a charm. But now, I’m looking to scale this up for a more complex setup in my home.
We have a staircase and an upper hallway, with three lamps controlled by four switches. Currently, this system uses an old relay in the fuse box. My goal is to integrate smart technology without replacing all the wiring, as that would be too costly and invasive.
I’ve considered adding a Shelly to each switch, pairing two lamps with Shelly Vintage bulbs, and using another Shelly for the third lamp. The idea is to control each lamp individually using scenes. However, I’ve hit a snag: when I use the Shelly to toggle the lights, the old relay stays on, causing a buzzing noise. It seems the Shelly provides a constant power supply rather than just a momentary switch.
I’m exploring two potential solutions:
-
- Configuring the Shelly to send a single pulse and then断开电源。
-
- Upgrading to Shelly Pro units and programming them to respond to different tap actions (single, double, long) to control various灯组组合。
While I’m eager to make this work, I’m a bit stuck. The electrician mentioned that individual wiring would require a complete overhaul, which isn’t feasible right now. I’d greatly appreciate any advice or experiences others have had with similar setups. It’s been a fascinating learning journey, and I’m excited to see how I can make this work!
