Shelly 1

john_doe.

Came across these now online and in the sonoff thread.

Made by Bulgarian company Allterco who seems to be into robotics.

I was wondering how many people have used them and also from a safety perspective how do they compare against sonoff? They seem to be CE certified anyways.

Mine just arrived today, not yet had a chance to play with it.

Looks really interesting. The din module had me excited, but the inputs for control if the relays are 220v live so a complex wiring structure. Was hoping for low voltage momentary inputs

Which gives me shivers when I think of potential dangers say of a Sonoff novice used to flashing Sonoff devices with different firmware - moving over to Shelly and not realising there is mains voltage across the same pins they're used to using on a non-voltage Sonoff

Be careful out there guys!!

Jeez I wasnt even on about that...I was highlighting the high voltage hazard on the serial pins compared to the Sonoff!

But heck that issue you highlighted is crazy and people need to be very careful as the instructions and label on the device (from what I can gather) have the L and N reversed by accident

See the image taken from their Facebook post and again be careful

Reflashed with tasmota handy enough. Hoping to install it to control towel rail tmw.

Installed and operating with openhab, and Google home. Find out in the morning if the timer rules work!

ETA: Works as expected. Will need to turn it on a bit earlier to have it warm enough, and increase the timeout from 30 to 60 mins. It's only 300w so takes a good time to get warm enough to heat the towels, but at night rate, an hour will only cost around 3 or 4 cents.
