I don't get it, when I connect gray and brown as in the circuit diagram (like in the photo), nothing happens when I press the switch down. Now if I put the gray on the brown cable and the switch is pressed down, the blind goes down, indeed down.

One thing upfront:
I am not an electrician and what I write here is not an instruction or anything similar! I can only strongly recommend you act very, very cautiously and, if in doubt, ALWAYS consult a REAL electrician!!!

When I look at the other picture you sent, I interpret:
N - blue
L - black (the single one) (here there should ALWAYS be 230V regardless of the switch position)
L_Hoch - phase for up
L_Runter - phase for down

You have to connect the Shelly 2.5 as follows:
N = N (blue)
L = permanent phase (in your case probably black where there is ALWAYS 230V)
SW1 = phase coming from the switch for up
O1 = phase going to the roller shutter for up
SW2 = phase coming from the switch for down
O1 = phase going to the roller shutter for down

In the first step, check whether 230V is present on the permanent phase. To do this, connect this and neutral to the Shelly and see if it turns on. (Always turn the fuse off/on)
You can check if it is on by seeing if you find a Shelly WLAN

Then connect the phases coming from the switch and going towards the roller shutter...
(again, always WITHOUT the fuse inserted and NO POWER on it)

If everything is connected correctly, download the Shelly app and integrate the Shelly into the WLAN.
Then set the button type to Momentary and configure and calibrate the Input Buttons Mode according to the switch (or push button)... done.
(Don't forget the firmware upgrade)

Thanks. No problem, I'm not an electrician either.
Just kidding. All good.

It worked, I just had the phase in the wrong L the first time, so it didn't work.

Now it works with Alexa too. But when I look at the commands, it's rather not suitable for venetian blinds. I can hardly imagine hitting the right slat angle with Alexa. :-p

For venetian blinds rather only for up / down ... hitting the angle will be difficult.

I use the Shellys for the blinds ...

Damn! Seeing it like this, I should have wired the whole thing in the connection boxes before the painter plastered them... At least I would have had plenty of space then ;-(
