First off, I'm in the U.S. if that matters for anyone. Also I'm super new to smart home stuff. I'm looking at Shelly's products and I understand electrical wiring, but I'm wondering how these devices will help me. If I run power to a switch in our main office, how will I get it to turn on the lights in the dorm building? Do I need to program it through the app? If I do, would the physical light switches still work in both locations (again, there is no direct connection they have separate electrical panels and meters)?
I'm sorry if my explanation is confusing or not thorough enough. This is a whole new beautiful world I'm exploring right now.
