Thanks for postin this! I am curious why there is mains current going to the switches. I thought the i3 is using the switch state to trigger a toggle command to the TP link/lamp. I was contemplating something similar, only with smart bulbs (I have an old house, no neutral, and I want to preserve the look of the funky old switches. I was hoping I could use mains to power the i3, and have the old switches function as input devices. I hope I wasn't wrong about this.
I hope you still read comments and you can help me before i buy. My question is that if the shelly lose power and you flip the switch while there is no power, when the shelly reboots will trigger the action again to the correct state of the switch automatically?
Really helpful
Very helpful video... Thanks!

No you aren't wrong, you can do that with the Shelly i3. Just wire in your old existing switches to the Shelly i3 as inputs.
