Lighting and local control records
| Product / function | Recorded specification | Verification limits |
|---|---|---|
| Shelly 1PM Gen4 · on/off lighting | Neutral-fed relay with local control and physical input configuration. [L1] [L2] | Exact load, enclosure, input/output mode and supplier evidence. Detached mode removes the direct switch/output link. [H5] |
| Shelly Dimmer Gen3 | Trailing-edge dimming; user guide records up to 150 W LED load. Some no-neutral arrangements are documented; a bypass is specified below 20 W. [L3] | Actual LED driver, inrush, wall controls, dimming range, flicker and noise. Supplier bypass guidance is more conservative. Exact Australian evidence for the required bypass is unresolved; Gen3 evidence does not establish approval for another generation. [L4] [L16] |
| Home Assistant · Shelly integration | Local integration without Shelly Cloud. [H1] | Local integration still depends on the relevant network and working actuator. Firmware, backups and secure remote access remain installation responsibilities. [H6] |
Separate failure-condition checks
| Condition | Behaviour to verify |
|---|---|
| Internet disconnected | Physical controls and Home Assistant operate through the local network. |
| Home Assistant stopped | Essential physical controls operate their actuators directly. |
| LAN / Wi-Fi / coordinator unavailable | Actual physical input-to-output behaviour, independently of the other two conditions. |
These checks do not cover a failed actuator or loss of mains. A UPS for Home Assistant/networking does not power ordinary lighting circuits. Direct operation depends on input mode. [H5]
Circuit monitoring specifications
One CT channel on a single-phase branch measures the combined circuit, not each appliance. A three-phase load uses three appropriately assigned channels. Grid import/export, PV, battery flows and branch totals need separate accounting to avoid double counting.
| Meter | Channels / arrangement | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Pro EM 50 | Two 50 A measurement channels on the same phase. | 2 A output for a suitable contactor interface; not a pump motor switch. [M1] |
| Pro 3EM · 120 A | Three channels; monophase profile supports independent single-phase measurement. | No built-in relay. Neutral-current input is not a fourth energy channel. [M2] [M3] |
| Pro 3EM · 3CT63 | 63 A variant with a combined CT assembly. | Not three independently positioned clamps. Conductor arrangement, rating and physical fit require verification. [M4] |
Low-load measurement: Pro 3EM documentation records a 30 VA/channel no-load threshold and reduced accuracy below 2 A. Live power may be visible while energy accumulation is suppressed. Exact hardware/firmware behaviour for LED and standby loads remains a commissioning check. [M2]
Recorded hardware price examples
| Example | Pro EM 50 units | Branches only | Plus one Pro 3EM |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 single-phase branches | 6 × A$139.95 | A$839.70 | A$1,044.65 |
| 20 single-phase branches | 10 × A$139.95 | A$1,399.50 | A$1,604.45 |
Additional Pro 3EM example: A$204.95. Hardware only; labour, protection, board alterations, networking, shipping and commissioning excluded. CT inclusions, GST, stock and checkout prices remain unverified. [M7]
Recorded lighting hardware: 1PM Gen4 A$39.33 including GST; Dimmer Gen3 A$49 regular price; Pro Dimmer 1PM A$95. Twenty single-channel dimmers: A$980 or A$1,900 respectively before installation. An expired sale was excluded. Different architectures and installation requirements prevent treating these totals as equivalent installed quotes. [L10] [L11] [L12]
Local meter history does not establish automatic Home Assistant backfill after downtime. Persistence, supported energy entities and recovery behaviour remain unverified on the proposed installation. [H1]
System and integration records
| Architecture | Recorded dependencies | Unverified project fields |
|---|---|---|
| Distributed modules | Modules at serviceable switch/load positions; physical input configuration and wireless coverage. | Box depth, neutrals, enclosure, service access, heat, driver compatibility and inrush. |
| Central Shelly Pro | Board/DIN space and home-run wiring. Ethernet available on relevant Pro devices. Pro Dimmer 2PM: two-channel dimming, recorded 200 W/channel at 220 V with load conditions. [L7] | Heat, exact load and product. Pro 2PM relay specifications are distinct from Pro Dimmer 2PM. |
| KNX / DALI | Specialist commissioning; KNX IP interface/router for local Home Assistant integration; actual DALI drivers and gateway design. [L8] [L9] [H2] | Installed cost, operation independent of Home Assistant, ETS project, group addresses, keys and driver/gateway handover. |
Other recorded products and integration paths
- IoTaWatt: 14 inputs. One mains input leaves 13 branch inputs; mains plus PV leaves 12. Twenty branches plus mains and PV requires two units. Production transferred to CircuitIQ. Recorded V6.4 Pro Kit: CAD$675, US/Canadian split-phase bundle. Australian accessories, supplier, warranty and compliance remain unverified. Local Home Assistant integration exists. [M8] [M9] [M10] [H3]
- Modbus: Home Assistant supports local serial and TCP integration. Schneider Australia iEM2455 (A9MEM2455) is a recorded single-phase product. Exact installation, register map, RS-485/gateway arrangement and Australian evidence require verification. [M11] [H4]
- Emporia Vue 3: official local Home Assistant support was not established in the research; the supported route remains cloud-dependent. Unofficial firmware introduces separate support/compliance questions. [M12]
- Clipsal Wiser: exact 41EPBDWCLMZ-VW dimmer has community Zigbee2MQTT documentation, not a Schneider endorsement of that integration. Neutral and multiway details require exact-model verification. Related micro-module lifecycle notices do not establish the status of the entire range. [L5] [L6] [L17]
- C-Bus: a community MQTT bridge is recorded. Compatibility, commissioning and integrator support depend on the actual installation. [L14] [L15]
Recorded Australian compliance evidence
Certificate records do not approve every SKU, revision, seller or installation. Exact labels, responsible supplier, applicable equipment classification/registration, RCM, ratings, enclosure and installation conditions remain licensed-contractor procurement checks. [C6] [L13]
| Exact product | Certificate | Recorded expiry | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro EM 50 | SAA231947 | 21 May 2029 | M5 · PDF |
| Pro 3EM · 120 A | SAA231189 | 30 August 2028 | M6 · PDF |
| Pro 3EM · 3CT63 | SAA241636 | 14 November 2029 | M13 · PDF |
| 1PM Gen4 · S4SW-001P16EU | GMA-522432 · rev 00 | 29 March 2030 | L2 · PDF |
| Dimmer Gen3 | GMA-521945 · rev 00 | 15 February 2030 | L4 · PDF |
The 1PM Gen4 certificate specifies building-in and further enclosure. Gen3 dimmer evidence does not establish approval for Gen4, another dimmer or a bypass accessory.
WA / EESS / RCM distinctions
- WA participates in the EESS intergovernmental framework with its own aligned regime and recognition of relevant EESS evidence. WA regulator guidance is part of the exact-installation check. [C1] [C2]
- EESS equipment-registration guidance: Level 1 registration is voluntary; safety standards still apply. Level 2 requires registration and a compliance folder. Level 3 requires registration and a valid Certificate of Conformity. A Certificate of Suitability is not automatically the Level 3 equivalent. Classification must be established; missing equipment registration alone does not disqualify Level 1 equipment. [C3] [C5]
- ACMA radio/EMC obligations are separate from electrical safety. CE marking does not establish Australian compliance. Exact Australian evidence and supplier declarations remain required checks. [C4]
Future bore: design fields
| Field | Information required |
|---|---|
| Hydraulic duty | Bore depth, water level/drawdown, flow, pressure, pipe losses and duty cycle. |
| Electrical duty | Nameplate voltage/phase/current, starting method, controller/VSD, maximum demand, cabling, enclosure and local isolation. |
| Metering / switching | CT/channel capacity and metering location appropriate to the VSD. A relay's resistive rating is not its motor rating; motor-rated contactor/controller interface is a separate requirement. [B2] [M1] |
| Independent protection | Dry-run protection, overload protection, isolation and interlocks independent of Home Assistant. |
| Future allowance | Circuit position, conduit, network/control route, isolation/control space and separate quote allowance. Final phase and hardware depend on the selected pump and site survey. |
Electrical contractor checklist
Verification fields for site survey, procurement and commissioning. This document does not provide a wiring diagram or installation approval.
Before rough-in
- Confirm supply phase, service capacity and maximum demand. Map circuits, subboards, existing protection, mains, PV/battery flows and future bore allowance.
- List room lighting groups, fittings and actual LED drivers. Specify dimming, multiway controls, direct manual operation and the desired behaviour after power returns.
- Allow neutrals, box depth, service access, enclosure, heat dissipation and driver inrush. Trial one representative dimming group for flicker, dropout and audible buzz.
- Prepare a meter/CT channel schedule: conductor and CT rating/aperture, phase reference, polarity, CT lead routing, DIN space, segregation and spare channels. Compare mains and branch totals without double counting.
- Plan Ethernet at the board, Wi-Fi/coordinator coverage, Home Assistant location and backup power for the server/network. Record the selected wiring architecture: distributed modules, central Pro or KNX/DALI.
- Reserve the pump circuit, conduit, isolation/control space and measurement channels without assuming its final phase or power.
In the quote and procurement schedule
- Identify every exact SKU/revision, quantity, CT and accessory. Attach model-specific Australian evidence, responsible-supplier details and applicable classification/registration checks.
- Separate hardware, protection/board work, labour, networking, commissioning and future-bore allowances. Confirm stock, lead time, GST, shipping and warranty responsibility.
- Specify enclosure, LED/load limits, motor-control duties where relevant, service access and physical control behaviour during each failure condition.
- Include commissioning, firmware/version records, backup/export files, labels, as-built circuit and network documentation. For KNX/DALI, include ETS/group-address/key and driver/gateway handover.
- Include required WA notices and the Electrical Safety Certificate. [C7]
At commissioning and handover
- Test each wall control, multiway route, dimming range and power-restoration state against the agreed schedule.
- Run the three failure tests separately: internet off; Home Assistant stopped; local network/Wi-Fi/coordinator unavailable.
- Label and verify every measurement channel, CT direction and phase. Compare mains and branch totals; explain expected differences, unmetered loads and low-load behaviour.
- Check energy entities, import/export accounting, history, persistence and any downtime recovery on the actual firmware.
- Save configuration backups, commissioning results and as-builts. Receive notices, Electrical Safety Certificate and support/warranty contacts.
- For the bore, verify autonomous dry-run/overload protection and local isolation; Home Assistant remains monitoring/control convenience, not the sole protection.
