After using HA for years, the 2024.5 and later updates created an issue with all the Shelly Dimmers at home.
With the 2024.4 core (and older), the physical switch works as expected. It turns the light on and off. However, since the 2024.5 version it produces a “bounce” effect when trying to turn the light off (the light turns off for a brief moment, only to turn on again).
The lights work as expected if you use Home Assistant, but the physical switch becomes useless. All of this unexpected behaviour disappears if you revert the core to an older version. Interestingly, the standard Shelly relays don’t have this problem.
After a little investigation, I believe this is related to the CoIoT implementation. Years ago I had to configure all the shelly relays to use unicast pointing to the IP and port of the Home Assistant instance. Somehow, it seems the latest version of the home assistant core is not properly receiving or processing the messages.
I’ve also tried to update the shelly firmwares (even beta versions) with no luck.
Hi. Update HA to version 2024.6.x, this version fixes a few issues. In addition, enable HA built-in debug mode and check if any(custom) integration does not block the event loop. If the event loop is blocked, the thread processing CoIoT packets cannot do its job.
Thank you very much for your answer. Tried again to update to 2024.6 with no luck. After enabling debug mode, all I see is this:

EDIT: disabled the integration, now the error message is gone, but same results. The light can not be turned off using the physical switch
