When using a contactor with any Shelly PM, the power measurement is lost, I thought this is worth mentioning, it will measure the power drawn bij the contactor, not the actual load.
Also, you should use a snubber when pairing a contactor with a Shelly relay that has power measurement. I probably should have noted that it really only makes sense to use a contactor with a Shelly that has dry contacts. I'll include that in an upcoming video
I’ve been waiting for this video! These videos are so helpful. Please keep them coming. Thank you from Australia.
You got it!
Cool video, keep them coming!
Will do!
Ive got a 1PM, on the contactor, I see A1 goes to O on the shelly, would A2 goto the N on the shelly?
Yes that's correct. If the video was panned out you would see that white neutral wire coming from N on the Shelly and wired to A2 on the contactor.
Hey Doug!!!
