Fallback Automation for Shelly 1PM Scheduling

Hello,

I’m seeking advice on implementing a fail-safe mechanism for scheduling my Shelly 1PM devices in Home Assistant. Currently, I have set up schedules for my devices using the Shelly app, but I want to ensure that if the Shelly app fails to execute the scheduled turn off/on for any reason, Home Assistant can take over and activate the schedule instead
Any suggestions?

How about: Setup the same schedule in Home Assistant but a few minutes later and check the on/off status before issuing an on/off command in HA?

Or use home assistant as the primary scheduler and be notified if something is wrong?

Thanks for your answer
For the first solution:

do i need to create automation for every schedule?
Can i create a multiple schedule and do this:
If shelly failed so do the schdule from ha or something like that?

For the second solution:

If I use home assistant as the primary scheduler so i depend on server running
In shelly its internal schedule
If something wrong in ha what will i do?
Thanks again

yes

I do not know if you can check the status of the Shelly App from Home Assistant but you can check if the Shelly 1PM is on/off from home assistant. So, if the Shelly App was to turn the 1PM on at 17:00 and Home Assistant automation checked at 17:01 if the 1PM was on, the shelly app worked. If the 1PM is off, the Shelly App failed and now you can run a Home Assistant automation to turn on the 1PM.

There are many ways to check if Home Assistant is running; and if not, to get a notice to your cell phone (search these forums).
