I just updated firmware to 1.9.4. I had to use the web interface for the firmware to show. The dimmer 2 now works.

  • Calibration succeeds
  • Maximum luminosity no longer triggers a device hang up.

I will consider actually using it in a wall…

Using Dimmer 2 with old on/off two way switches

Shelly Dimmer 2 now in a wall, behind one of two-way switches

That one has wire going to the light, with switch connected to SW1. Changed the other switch wiring so that line is always provided to Dimmer 2 and other switch wired on SW2.

Now there there is no Setup in Dimmer 2 that would toggle light when any of SW1 or SW2 is toggled. So: SW1 is setup as Edge. SW2 going on or off has http local action to itself: http://localhost/light/0?turn=toggle.
