    If you want viewers to "See how easy it is to install the Shelly Dimmer 2 without having to connect a neutral cable!!!" Then show them how easy it is to install!! A moving, unsteady camera shot of a completed installation just doesn't cut it! That said, thanks for your efforts.

    Thanks for this video. We have the impression that the bulbs flicker a little I have the same problem at home so I unplugged it because I am not sure of my assembly. And when I turn on the switch the light goes out after 4 seconds. I will give another try tomorow.

    Hoi, mooie video! Maar moet je echt twee impulsschakelaars gebruiken? Kan dat ook niet met 1 impuls? Dus is het mogelijk met 1 schakelaar? Ik vermoed dan kort drukken is aan of uit, lang drukken is dan dimmen of helder (wisselwerking)? alvast bedankt en grts...

    Thanks for the video. A question about wiring. In your "no neutral" picture you have 4 cables. I have only 2 cables going in to the back of my light switch, giving a switched live. What are your 4 cables? I downloaded the manual and still don't understand. Thanks 😊

    @@SmartHomeJunkie @Smart Home Junkie At 2:47 you show the dimmer with 4 wires connected, but you don't explain what these wires are and how they connect to your switch. Do you even have a wall switch? We don't see. I found your video when trying to make sure this would work with my wiring, but unfortunately this important bit of information is missing. (I think this is what the other poster meant when they commented above).

    Yes, I use a pulse switch. And the colors of the series should explain itself. They are connected confirm the color codes that are usually used when you connect lights to wall switches.

    You have to buy a shelly wire set with it. 1 black wire from that wire set you connect to the SW2 on the shelly and the other black wire goes to the L next to the SW2 on the shelly. These 2 black wires you have to connect to your switch. The brown one that you have disconnected from your switch goes to the other L on the shelly.

    Great question. Here in the US, I installed a switch by Levitron or Lutron and it works but not quite as elegant/simple/quick as a lever/wall-based dimmer (probably user issue!!). If you are interested, I'll dig up the KZreadr that recommended the switch and how it was wired.

    Hoi Ed, mijn vrouw vind een draai dimmer een must en wil geen app gebruiken. Daarom heb ik de zigbee ecodim geinstalleerd zodat ik die ook via Home assistant kan schakelen en bedienen. De Ecodimmer heeft een gewone draaiknop en zigbee, het is wel even wat gedoe om het werkend te krijgen in HA.
