*greetings folks, I am running openhab v2.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3 and trying to connect a light for testing shelly1 device
When I have the shelly1 connect to live and neutral on the power cord and I plug it in and then test the switch in HABPanel I can hear it clicking when I turn it on and off. So now I wanted to connect the shelly to the power cord and then out to a 2 wire lamp. but when I search out how to connect the wires all the diagrams are confusing so I added the image and gave each wife a name and was hoping someone could tell me the proper connectivity. I am in the US
All of the Shelly diagrams show connecting to a neutral, hot, and load. I’m having a difficult time finding a wiring diagram for just the two wire switch/outlet where one wire is hot and the second wire (neutral) continues to the load.
The are no separate load and neutral lines.
I was able to get Shelly1 to work (properly) by connecting the neutral to ground - but if I remember correctly this is not something one would want to do.
Can you help me understand?
If I replace the load with the switch (in the diagram in this thread) - then Shelly will only activate the light if the switch is on. This is not desirable. The switch and shelly should activate/deactivate the light independently.
Note: I figured this out for a three way set up where there are four wires. But, nothing is working regardless of how I wire this switch.
