Why Shelly Dimmer Gen3

The Shelly Dimmer Gen3 is trailing-edge and rated up to 200 W

Energy metering

Reads the power drawn on the circuit and keeps the energy total, so the app shows what each load uses.

No neutral needed

Fits switch boxes that only have a live feed, which is common in older UK homes.

Connectivity

Connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Setup runs from the phone, then the device joins the home network.

Local automation

Up to 20 schedules, scripting, MQTT and webhooks run on the device itself, so routines keep working if the internet drops.

Built-in protection

Overheating protection cuts the output before the device or the load is put at risk.

Hidden install

Small enough to sit in the wall box behind an existing switch, so the room looks the same.
