Hi all

Need some guidance of what others have done but I am a bit stumped.
We are about to embark on a whole home renovation and all light, wall, etc points are being redone. With this in mind I really liked the Veti 2 range.

Pros, well priced and looks stylish, neutral on and off position. See link for a 4 gang switch.

I wanted to use this with a Shelly Dimmer 2.

The one thing I did not think of is that the 4 gang above is not a physical dimmer switch and so I have to buy the dimmer switch mechanism which is one of those rotary dials which I am not a fan of. Also do not know if this work with all 4 gangs.

With this in mind hoping someone else has gone this route.

I thought I had a solid plan, well priced and stylish looking (IMHO) electrical wall products with the VETI 2 range, I would not need to buy a dimmer but rather pay a bit more for a smart dimmer in the form of the Shelly dimmer 2. But now realise that I need to find a switch that has the dimming built in.

My question is?
Does anyone know of local products that sell up to a 4 gang dimmer? PS I am aware of the touch based ones but do not like the look?
What has your experience been with the Shelly dimmer or is Sonoff better or another product?
Anything else you think I might be missing?

Thanks in advance
 
Shelly dimmer is epic. Works brilliant.

You need a push button though. You know the button that doesn't click in. You push it and it auto push out.

The way the dimming on physical switch then work is. Quick push is on it off. Long push is then either dim or undim. It changes direction each time you do it. So depends on if veti has this switch. I have not seen it separately in shops, only bundled with their while dimmer unit.
 
@Tinuva that is good to know. Do you find that the dimmer causes any flickering problems with LED?

Only on like 1-5% level. Its unfortunately normal if you understand how led dimming works. Higher levels you wont notice it unless you view through a camera device.
 
I don't have any flickering issues on mine since I changed to dimmable LED (I have a neutral). My old bulbs did have the more it dimmed - but I don't think they were dimmable.

But there are a few settings to assist and you are able to have a minimum brightness if needed. Calibration needs to be done and - although I have no clue what it does - it helps a lot of people *if* they have flicker. But for me it was it was the type of globe. I actually have no idea what the other settings even mean @Tinuva may help on the technical
