Shelly LAN Switch | 5 Port RJ45 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch | DIN-Mountable | Fanless | Plug & Play | Energy-Saving | Easy Installation & Configuration | No Additional Adapter Required

This will fit in about any panel box or enclosure. Unless your breaker panel is stuffed full with wiring then this will fit inside. It is just as it is: a simple 5 port switch that uses 120 to 240vac for power...that's just two skinny wires and not a big, fat AC to DC adapter which eats up room on it own. It mounts via DIN rail, which is great news! Most other electrical devices have that mounting system already. Once powered, you just plug in your associated devices RJ45's to this switch and have one RJ45 ran to your router...done!Now, the reason it probably isn't too popular in the US is the safety craze. The public is taught to be shaking in their legs if they need to open their own electrical panel. They treat everyone as a toddler and doing so they teach them about it on a toddler level. That results in just more untrained and ignorant people who are dependent on shelling out money to contractors or knowledgeable people like me. It really is a shame. You don't fear electric power, you must respect it! If they would actually teach skills here, then there wouldn't be so many people getting hurt.You or anyone can easily and safely install these into your household panels if you can operate a drill, voltmeter and know where your main shutoff switch is. For example: You want to monitor your power consumption and install a smart switch or automation control of a circuit. Simple really. Gather up this Shelly Lan switch, a Shelly 3EM and a couple Shelly Pro1's. All are din rail mountable right in your electrical panel. You get yourself a chunk of DIN say 4-6 inches and a few self tap screws (I know, I know, they can use bits and tap in some 8/32 screws for a proper install, but I am simplifying).Before you begin, you must assess what you have on hand for your panel, any open breaker spots, what circuits you want to control or monitor...there is much to go over here, but this goes beyond the scope of the main point. If you are self taught person, read up on residential basic wiring schemes, visit DIY forums on electrical and yes Shelly or automation sites.So lets say your panel has several open unpopulated breaker spots and you want to control the living area can lights while reading what your garage circuit is consuming as your beer fridge is there. You also want to have your bedroom outlets power up in the morning to wake you to Guns N Roses 'Welcome to the Jungle', playing via cassette on a old school boombox because reasons.Basically, once you are all prepped and have your devices ready, then find your voltmeter. Test it on a working receptacle to denote it reads correctly. Now shut off the main breaker. Turn on your flashlights and use the voltmeter to confirm that no power is present in your panel. None energized? Good! Now proceed to install your DIN rail and the devices onto the DIN. I won't go into detail as the person who reads this will be like, "Great another book! I have 30,021 words to go over and Charlie, looks like yours only had 42. My lucky day to stay late at work."See, you had studied and found out that garage was wired on #6 copper using a 50 amp breaker to its subpanel. The Shelly 3EM CT's will easily click around those cables to read them. The living can lights total load when you added up the wattage of the cans is around 11 amps and is well below the rated 16 amps of the Shelly Pro1. You find that you cannot wake up with just the boombox playing GnR so the other three outlets are powering three Gen4 SoundBoks at 3/4 volume so that your neighbors actually shake you awake. How kind of them to help. Now how many amps did the bedroom circuit have while all that was on during the morning? Did it come in below the Shelly Pro1 rating? Well that's a trick question as the Soundboks Gen 4 were all running on their internal batteries. You also had the boombox set up to run that day via 10 D cell batteries in the bottom cubby hole.My point is you can install this equipment. Don't let anyone else mock you or keep specs or info from you about x,y z product. Read up on it. Respect power, install devices cleanly following the NEC and then enjoy the benefits of zero labor as you did it yourself. Don't be a toddler reliant on them to exploit you. You do it for yourself and your loved ones. Now that I respect in a person. Here is your Shelly Lan switch, let's begin.

Lange habe ich gesucht nach einem Switch der auch unter eine normale Hutschiene in einem Zählerkasten passt ohne hervorzuragen oder das Anbringen der Abdeckung unmöglich zu machen.Erst jetzt nachdem Shelly diesen Switch vorgestellt hatte fand ich damit endlich einen vernünftigen Formfaktor.Außerdem brauche ich nun auch kein separates 12V DIN-Schienen-Netzteil mehr dafür, er kann direkt mit 230V betrieben werden, was Platz und Verkabelung spart.Von der Funktion her kann man eigentlich nichts sagen, es ist ein einfacher 100Mbps Switch der einfach das tut was man erwartet.Er ist nicht konfigurierbar, also ein "dummer" Switch, für meine Zwecke ausreichend.Falls Shelly nun noch eine konfigurierbare Variante bringt (VLANs, STP, etc) und 1000Mbps dann wäre er wahrlich perfekt.

Juste une précision non formulé sur le mode d’emploi, prévoir un branchement et ethernet (donc sur les 5 prises disponible, une servira d’alimenter les autres. J’ai branchéapres un appareil « dévolo » et il fonctionne bien, aucune perturbation, il me reste le teste à brancher plusieurs appareils pour savoir si cela perturbe ou non.

The project: My workbench - AC outlets on their own breaker, for Scopes, AWGs, power supplies, etc. 24VDC for lighting, and more AC outlets on another breaker for soldering irons, etc. - EVERYTHING on a single kill switch, to reduce potential for me to accidentally leave an instrument on to experience screen burn-in, or to accidentally leave a soldering iron on. It's evolving.This switch let me add ethernet, for the instruments, to the mix, which is very convenient, and makes things even tidier - it even fits into the same DIN rail cabinet, and piggybacks off of the AC already wired to that cabinet. I wish it had a few more ports, but 100mbit is more than sufficient for my purposes.

Alles Bestens. Nächstes mal wieder.
