I have a few Lightwave switches, but I’m looking to convert some light switches that don’t have LW using Shelly now, mainly to save money.
But they are confusing me, and I’ve looked at a few YouTube videos but haven’t found any that really explain them well.
Can anyone here answer these questions;
Is the 2.5 basically the one to get now rather than the 1?
Do they work with multi way switching? Does each light switch require one to be installed? So where in one room there’s two switches for the same light, is it like Lightwave where each switch needs one?
How do they work with multi gang switches? Does each button need its own Shelly relay, so 3 Shelly 3.5’s for a three gang switch?
In one room I have a 2 gang and a 3 gang, which control an outside light and two internal lights. The outside light is on the 3 gang and is not multi switched. Would it be easy enough to install one just to control the outside light?
Once installed, how does the physical switch operate? If it’s in the on position, and the Shelly is switched of remotely, what does flicking the switch back to off do? Anything? What happens if you then switch to the on position?
TIA.
