“Shelly Plus Plug S” with Swiss plug

[SwissMartin]

It would be nice if there was a Swiss plug for “Shelly Plus Plug S” as well as the German plug. That way I wouldn't have to buy any more adapters and it would look much slimmer and be more acceptable to my wife.

In return, I would day "it would be nice if Switzerland would use CE and DIN Standard" ... so don't ask EU companies to follow swiss standards....especially when Swiss standard allowes different socket sizes for different power consumption...that is really strange and a no go for EU standard.

there is not a CE standard, there are some more common, but there are 6 different types of socket and 8 different kind of plugs, plus the swiss one.
Technically is possible to prepare a socket that can accommodate more than one  kind of plug [the other way is extremely unsecure].
Fore example look the picture below, that is a power strip that can accommodate type F , L small and L large plugs [beside the type C one, that fit in any socket, but works correctly only in L-small and N]

If producer would add two additional holes around ground [not possible in THIS model but very easy and not of additional cost in other models]
It  would fit also type N and J [the swiss one], even type K would fit [type E would be difficult but any current type E plug is an E/F one].
(note that to be fully compliant with N and J even the plug at other end must be one of these two)
Doing a modified shelly plug-IT with the extra contact for swiss grounding and on the other side with the ground plug screwed in, with two possible [3 if you add type N that would not be a bad idea, there are 300 million people using it, more than the type J] threads you would have a device valid for IT, CH, BR, ZA .

If you have some manuality you can get a shelly plug-IT and modify it for swiss sockets. (only ground have to be moved)

Do you have any picture ? instructions on how to do that ?

[wooly]

no, i have not on hand a shelly plug to dismount. actually you have to move 5 mm laterally the ground pin.

personally I im not a big supporter of item that you plug in a sochet to adapt another plug. better and much easier do in on an extension cord, more rugged and versatile.
