I don't own any Shelly products (yet), and I have been trying to read up on it, but I still haven't found an answer to my question...

I'm building my own home (from scatch), and I want to use some intelligent lights, instead of the legacy kind.

 

So my idea is to have X number of wall switches throughout the house that will trigger different lightning scenes for different rooms (each room has its own wall switch buttons). My plan was to use shelly for this. However I _dont_ want to do it relying on bluetooth or wifi, I want wired connections to each wall switch, that will trigger the different scenes in shelly (so I will run separate cables from the server / electrical room to the wall switches, and another set of cables to the actual lights (and all lights in the entire house will be on dimmers). Hence, using shelly relays is pointless for me(?) - because they are intended to handle the circuit breaking for the lights, and not trigger scenes in shelly(?).

 

I would be very happy if someone could take the time to explain this for me - have i understood things correctly? Which shelly products would I have the use to achieve my intended results?

And remember: i DO NOT want to rely on bluetooth or wifi for the communication between the wall switches and the shelly system - I want it all to be wired communication (since this will control ALL of the lights both indoors and outdoors, and I will not put my self in a position where ALL the lights in the house stops working if there is some issue with my wifi router or some other kind of wireless interference).
