I'm trying to wire Shelly 1PM gen 3 to my wall outlet. Is the diagram correct?

If you draw a sketchup that wrong, you better hire a professional.

They can't answer. Their house burned down for reasons.

Prob that little girl from the meme (that is now all grown up & unstoppable).

Those Shelly diagrams are confusing because it's not clear that the diagram is the external connections. I'm used to seeing it the other way-

The SW looks an awful lot like a relay contact that is internally connected to line. Little harm wiring that wrong.

That O terminal looks like a coil that needs a L connection to energize it cause the other side is already connected to N, let's put some power to it through my switch!

Here's how it should be visualized

That will surely get you some interesting light show. Ask a professional
