#Shelly behind my switch ?

Hello everyone,

I have a switch that controls a socket in my bedroom, but it's a pain, I'd like the socket to be powered all the time and for me to ‘listen’ to the toggle on the physical switch and then for my home assistant to switch a Philips hue on and off.

Here's a photo of the back of my switch.

At first chatgpt told me to buy a Shelly 1 and now that he's seen the back of my switch he says it won't work because I don't have a neutral and I need a Shelly i3 now 😭

Any ideas?

You would need to use something without neutral yes. But there doesn't seem to be a lot of space in there for placement in general

#

Make sure the dimensions fit by actually measuring and comparing then

Can't remove the part with the 2 screw and put it behind ?

#

And so, an i3 can work for my situation ?

Also no the i3 doesn't do any switching at all

Is there connected switch that can replace my default switch and be a better option ?

I only use smart plugs to switch things, I think I can't help here 😅

So wait is this a socket or a switch

#

If its a socket it mandatorily has line voltage and neutral

#

You could be putting a Shelly there
