I’m trying to wire a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 into my bathroom switch in the US. The light switch has only a black and white wire connected to it. I’ve searched online and haven’t found a way to connect the Shelly into this setup. Does anyone know what I can try?
To wire a Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 to a US single-pole switch, you’ll need a neutral wire. Check More Info the switch box, junction box, or light fixture for a neutral wire. If you can’t find one, consult an electrician.
Hi Allanon,
No one here can see or check what your home wiring is.
The best you will get is guesses, and you have no idea if the person ‘helping’ has any idea or not.
Keep in mind if you know what you are doing, I have no problem helping. But when you clearly do not know anything about the wiring you are looking at then PLEASE get help from someone that does.
