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?
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
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).
