CONTROL OF THE INPUTS

Reading of standard logical levels, independent from the applied voltage on the inputs(potential free)
It cannot work with programed limits of the levels, because they aren‘t ADC attached to the inputs
When there is Voltage from:
AC 12V up to 24V – it is measured as logical “1” (HIGH). Only when the voltage is below 12V it is measured as logical “0” (LOW)
DC: 2,2V up to 36V – it is measured as logical “1” (HIGH). Only when the voltage is below 2,2V it is measured as logical “0” (LOW)
Maximum allowed Voltage – 36V DC / 24V ACFor more information about the Bridge, please visit: http://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#shelly-family-overview or contact us at: developers@shelly.cloud You may choose if you want to use Shelly with the Shelly Cloud mobile application and Shelly Cloud service.
