Hi everyone, Long story short, having smart bulbs and relays, but still using regular dumb wall switches is a big problem. It is something A LOT of people are trying to deal with around here. Especially since everyone wants to keep their original wall switches and frames to keep the look throughout…

If i am not totally wrong, the Fibaro Dimmer should also work with 2 wire.

Unfortunately(as far as I can see) this Shelly also requires a neutral to be connected (3 wire connection). This will be too much work in my new home to rewire the entire house. Then the Fibaro is still a better solution.

Fibaro Dimmer (2) works without neutral wire. You might need a LED bypass when connecting low power LED lights to prevent flickering. And yes, getting them to fit can be a hassle.

If it is a new home, then the wires should run through the central ceiling pot. Getting a blue wire from there to the switch shouldn’t be too much of a hassle? Another option is to mount the insert module in the lamp if there is room for it. Blue shouldn’t be a problem there.

No personal experience alas. But if they act like a simple Z-Wave switch maybe including it via the Homey standard Z-wave could work. But no guarantees since i never bought them because i solved my problem in another way.

In your first post, i didnt see any spec’s that it had to be shelly(?). Anyhow… The flush module (Zwave/433/Mqtt/etc) will fit behind the wallswitch/outlet, if you use modules thats made for it. I have it in my whole home. In my case iam using qubino and aeotec flush modules for that purpose. Usin…
