You’re integration works perfect!

For people who want to use the new lights with dongle, I have flashed my original dongle for usage locally with esphome: GitHub - davosje/marshydro_esp: ESPHome firmware for the original Mars Hydro Bluetooth dongle

Just to make sure are you guys just connecting the Shelly 0-10V to the RJ11 cable or also using the driver? I have a TS1000 and FCE-3000 both older versions that I would like to try this method.

i’m asking myself the same, because then this could also work for the fan. Im at the moment struggeling to get my esp32 in the older iFresh fan.

So could you please elaborate on the wiring you use and if it could be transfered to the other R11 devices.

Thank you for your message. I followed your instructions and it works, however my lamp remains on at 1% and I can’t turn it off. Do you know what I’m missing?

@andb41 - I am currently using the light in manual mode so I can’t check however I know that some lights that use 0-10V for their dimmer signal, don’t actually turn off at the lowest dim level (0V).

I have some commercial LED lights over my workbench that don’t and since I “smartefied” these lights by adding an internal zwave 0-10V dimmer I was bummed when I realized I could not turn them off using that dimmer. I did not want to cut power to lights as that would also cut power to the dimmers make the nodes unavailable (ugly in UI and bad for mesh) so I ended up adding a voltage comparator that cut power to the led strip with a relay once the dimmer signal was at 1V or 10% dim level. Works great…
