Do Shelly Devices have a fatal weakness (Router Reset)

For every single Shelly Gen 1 device, set up outbound websockets
For every single Shelly Gen 2/3 device, set up COIOT

It is the other way around, coiot for gen 1, websocket for gen 2/3.

Little fact check: Over 100 esp(home) devices with a combined 2.4+5GHz SSID with (that’s zero) problems

Same here.
I cannot imagine a scenario where having the same WiFi credentials for both 2.4 and 5GHz can cause any device from connecting.

Then you haven’t been around much.

I have a mix of Shelly, TP-Link, Broadlink, and ESP devices. I feel it’s a Shelly issue

Sounds very much like it. Did you yet try to install esphome on your shelly to see if this fixes thing?

My basic issue is the Shelly APP has no builtin recovery process when the connection is lost.

Luckily esphome features everything you need

By the way, Home Assistant worked perfectly and recognized the Shelly devices as expected in all instances. This issue appears to be primarily a “Shelly app issue.”

I’m not sure if I’m misunderstanding you here… Are you saying that the Shelly device in question was actually still working with HA, just not in the Shelly app? You didn’t mention this in your original post, and it would suggest a very different problem, if so.

[nickrout]

Just a guess. Does the Shelly devices try to associate with the SSID or the BSSID? And does the BSSID change in resetting the router?

Also, can’t you set it up over Bluetooth?

If other people have many Shelly devices, and they don’t have the same issue, then it is sometrhing else

Thanks for pointing that out! I corrected my post.
