Those look pretty cool. I like that they talk to the wireless network directly.

How big are they? I'd be worried about putting them in a single gang box and then having enough room for the switch and wiring.

Let us know how they work.

I think they're about the diameter of an Oreo and maybe twice as thick. Space might be an issue in some boxes, but they're designed to go in there so maybe just cram it in.

Shelly also makes switches to be used with these in case you don't want to or can't use a standard switch. They are thin to save space and only for low voltage of course, and I think they have momentary ones so you can program double or triple taps to set different scenes or whatever.

The first two I'll be doing are 2 gang and 3 gang boxes so I should have plenty of room with my standard switches.

They just came in. They're pretty small! About 1-11/16" x 1-1/2" x 1/2"
