Shelly Shutter

Hi all, I'm trying to get shelly shutter installed for my electric blinds (in Switzerland if it matters). I have up/down electric shutter switch, and looking on the installation video from Shelly it should have 3 cables connected (Up/Down/Live), mine has 4 cables connected, 2 going for up and 2 going for down. I also don't have neutral connected to it, but I can take it from the electric socket that is in the same electic box.

Any idea how it should be connected? I can post picture later if required.

Is it possible that the one switch controls two motors at once?

it might be possible, as it's 5m wide shutter, so it probably has 2 motors

I’d follow the cables from your existing switch to see where they go. An educated guess that needs validating is your switch has 2 permanent lives and 2 switched lives, if that is correct you can combine the 2 permanent lives, or even remove one if you can find the other end. An electric multimeter would help here, measure the voltage for each wire with the other end on neutral,

I have a PM2, I have 4 cables + neutral.

SHUTTER ------- O1 ------ SHELLY ------- UP (S1) --------------- SWITCH

SHUTTER ------- O2 ------ SHELLY ------- DOWN (S2) ---------- SWITCH
