What's your end goal? To be able to control the SWG with either the timer or shelly, or just monitor power?
If you just want to monitor power, leave shelly on all the time and don't use the switch input at all.
Like he said, no need to use the shelly for switching if you only need power monitoring.
Or you can use a Shelly EM.
