Can you use a dimmer 2 relay with a dimmer switch?

    Yeah so looking at the user guide for dimmer 2

    https://kb.shelly.cloud/__attachments/63897613/User%20&%20Application%20Guide?inst-v=dd456c15-eb79-423d-82f6-ed9064a7cc66

    I’m guessing I set the relay as an edge switch so any press of the switch will turn it on or off. I see there is “fade rate” which as you stated indicates controls the dimming when the button is held. However what I don’t see is the ability to set it so if you hold the button an “up” position it brightens or if its held in a “down” position it dims.

    Unfortunately if I cant replicate that behavior with the switch I wont pass the “wife acceptance test” which means no smart lights.

      No, set it to Dual Button Mode. If you manage to wire it backward then to check “swap inputs”.

        Ok so would dual button mode allow holding the button in one direction brighten and holding it the other dim?
