I would like to order the new "Shelly Dimmer" and currently do not see a template. Has anyone ever tested the device or even run it with a different setting from another device?

Shelly didn't start shipping those devices. No one have them, so we don't know if Tasmota can be flashed or not on them. Anyway, The stock firmware of Shelly supports MQTT, so if Tasmota don't work, you can still use them with your Home Automation Software.

I have pre-ordered those a month ago, so I will test them as soon as they arrive.

@ascillato thank you for your quick answer.
I received my shipping message yesterday, so I assume that some devices have been shipped. But i guess you are right, i have only to wait a couple of days / weeks to get an answer...

good hint regarding the mqtt support from the stock firmware....

My shelly dimmers arrived today. Have you had any time to see if Tasmota can be flashed on to them? Sorry to bother you.

[ascillato]

Hi,

Mine have arrived too. It has an ESP8266, so it might be possible to use Tasmota on it, but will require some more research due to it uses several other chips for controlling the dimming.

So, please be patient ;)

Maybe an email to their support dept. Asking for a simple sketch to demo dimming? Can't hurt to ask...
They'll sell more once it's been tasmotafied. :D

I had two delivered over the weekend along with a Shelly 1PM. Got tasmota successfully flashed on the 1PM, but no joy with the dimmers. I was using the diagram from the Shelly site for the header pin-outs but the programmer could not connect. This evening I wired up both dimmers and set them up with the Shelly software and new firmware was available, so have updated them but not tried to re-flash yet. D

I successfully flashed the dimmer!
I also had the problem that the programmer could not connect, so I opened the housing and connected again. What I did ' wrong' at this time was that I connected all the wires in mirrored order by accident - and flashing suddenly succeeded. So my guess is that the documentation for the pin-out is wrong (mirrored).
I already requested the GPIO mapping to configure Tasmota but did not get a reply so far...

[djhk739]

Great news SwedishChef, when you say ‘mirrored’ do you mean they’ve got ‘top to bottom’ mixed up? D

[SwedishChef]

The problem is that after opening the housing and flashing I recognized that the device was turned around 180 degrees compared to the pin-out picture on shell home page.
As I still connected the needed wires as described, it was most probably 'top-to-bottom mixed up'. Give it a try :-)
I already sent a message to Shelly to get this clarified.

[djhk739]

Yup, got mine flashed as well, now moving on to the GPIO assignments.

[SwedishChef]

@djhk739 please share your results for GPIO assignment here - many thanks.

PS: still no answer from shell.org regarding this ;-(
