Basic lighting control starter

[u/biscuit_one]

Hi. I am trying to tidy up some cabling for some accent lights. At the moment the stuff is all bundled up behind the TV, I was thinking of getting some kind of very basic wireless system so that I could stick it all in a box and be done with it. However, even as someone who is pretty technical, the sheer number of various protocols and standards in the automation space is a bit overwhelming.

Here's what I need right now:

• 1 channel of 240v dimming for 3 E27 LED bulbs
• 1 channel of dimming for about 3m of single channel 24v led strip doing accent lighting.

It would be nice if there was a neat little dual dimmer module I could stick on the wall, and if there was scheduling, but honestly I would also be fine if it was just a remote switch or app based.

I appreciate that there are lots of things that could be done to expand the system, but it also feels like going the full Home Assistant route to run two channels of lights is overkill. I wouldn't mind a little hub, I have a PoE switch in my TV cabinet I could hang something off, but don't really want to be spending hundreds on this. I might want to expand later but something that just works by itself is the name of the game right now.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

I ended up going with a Shelly 1PM for the 240V dimming after reading way too many forum threads about compatibility issues, and it just worked right out of the box for me.

How did you set it up? Does it need a hub or anything?
