“Second switch input for controlling additional associated devices or 2-way installations”. From the Fibaro Dimmer guide.
Guess it will have to be the Fibaro then, sadly at twice the price of the Shelly.
It’s not surprising it can’t as the Aeotec dimmer can’t and it’s even more expensive than the Fibaro.
Unfortunately UK single gang back boxes don’t allow for more than one module inside.
It’s a shame as we can get multiple switches in a single gang but only a single module. I could make it double but that looks a bit weird.
Maybe I spoke too soon. The API doesn't mention a SW2 input, but its very obviously there in the screenshots on the product page.
Maybe Colly can help us out and see if MQTT makes that second input available...
EDIT: Sorry, I can't read. It IS documented in their API, but the plugin appears to be ignoring that. I could add that as a second boolean state to the device to detect when that 2nd input is pressed. You can also detect short-presses and long-presses as plugins vents to run other triggers.
