Great video, I like that it is 16a, and so small that it fits so nicely into a box, some competition for sonoff. My wife plugged a 1500w electric grill to a sonoff basic extention cord, drawing approx 12.5a. It smoked the relay and melted the case.

Good on you for addressing some of the isolation and safety related concerns. It's interesting that the Shelly product is actually safer than the Sonoff _because_ it has no isolation. It forces your (or more specifically, your electrician) to take precautions.

For those I think you just need to scale up the same solution with a bigger external relay - using either the Shelly or Sonoff - connect through a Functional Devices RIB relay (Relay In a Box). Many different configurations available 110V/220V dual phase switching (SPDT/DPDT), up to 30A and even up to 600V. Almost all of them can be configured with a 120V AC coil to control the relay. I have automated 220V Pool 20A Pumps with these using Lutron switches for control - works great.

Hello Robert! I have a Shelly 1, not flashed with Tasmoto yet but I am contemplating the following project: I need to install a fresh air fan into a vent in our basement. For this I want to use a 12V fan like a high quality PC fan 120mm or 140mm size. The fan should be able to be controlled via home assistant to turn on/off and adjust speed in some steps (4-6 steps perhaps). To adjust speed I was thinking of using a transistor controlled swith to cut the 12v to adjust the speed. MQTT or Rest could be used. I was hoping to not have to buy an external transistor switch but use the internal in Shelly 1. Do you think that could be done? Your views and ideas yould be very much apprechiated.

So if You are in contact with the Producers of Shelly, please let them know that could be a huge demand in this Country (even for similar solutions for blinds and/or external window shades)!

Chris Go. You have 2 options: 1. Easy but should be make very carefully. Revert N and L, then you will have GND on the PINS instead Line. You can power it from 3.3V and GND.

Thank you for you videos. However, I have question: As Shelly and Sonoff are cheap, why someone will go with the more expensive equipment such as Fibaro, AeoTec, Qubino? Even these products are cheap compared to KNX equipment. So how these companies make profits? So, is there advantages by using KNX over Fibaro, AeoTec. And by using Fibaro, AeoTec over Sonoff, Shelly?

Awesome writeup. Just bought two. Quick question. you mention changing INPUT_PULLUP to INPUT in the son off into file. I can see in master these lines appear in support_button.ino and support_switch.ino. Did you change both of these or is there somewhere else it should be changed?

There is a shelly module in the official tasmota release now, no need to use my version anymore. Enjoy!

Fantastic. Can't wait for those bad boys to turn up. Even if I was looking to get my coding hands dirty ;) Thanks so much for the super quick reply@@TheHookUp

thanks for the video! its still confusing on how to hook it up if the ac line voltage blows up the gpio ports, like how do you hook it up with the low voltage output for a garage door and use a door sensor to let you know when the door is up or down like docz did?

The relay is isolated, so you can just hook one side of your "garage door open" wire to the O input, and the other side to the I input, then power it with the L and N terminals. The GPIO header should only be used for flashing new firmware.

One thing that was not covers in your video is "mains" power supplied light in relation to the position of the to the analog switch and the Shelly. I.E. Does my analog switch have to be 'on' for the Shelly to recited power and operate the switch?. or if my analog switch is 'off' does the Shelly supply power to the light? Note your amazon link for Shelly says they are not available "Maybe just out of stock"??. Just FYI

The shelly will be able to control your lights regardless of the switch position. You get a couple of different options in the firmware for how you want your switch to behave. They are totally out of stock everywhere right now, should be back in stock everywhere on October 15th.
