HI all
Since some days I’m facing a new problem. One (out of about 10) of my shellys doesn’t work properly anymore. I see it in HA as online and the sensor are updating:
But the switches doesn’t work. If I push it, it shifts to the left and jumps back after some seconds.
Over IP the shelly is reachable and works perfectly:
Has anyone an idea or some own experiences about this problem?
Thank you
If the switch turns back on, does also the Shelly turn back on?
If you turn it on/off via Shelly web interface, does HA react to the state?
What does the history say?
Do you have any automations involving the Shelly?
Are you using the core integration, custom component or MQTT?
Have you tried to reset the Shelly?
Have you tried to set the device up new in HA?
Do you have unicast with HA as peer enabled in Shelly developer settings?
Is there a physical switch connected?
If the switch turns back on, does also the Shelly turn back on?
The HA switch action doesn’t cause anything. So in the Shelly Web frontend the switch is always on.
If you turn it on/off via Shelly web interface, does HA react to the state?
Yes it does.
What does the history say?
Now while answering you I’ve reinstalled the integration and now I lost the history of the last days, but I’d say it looked good (the states were recognized)
Screenshot just shows the last 20 mins (as the date before is lost after reinstall)
Do you have any automations involving the Shelly?
Just a NFS tag to turn it on and off
Are you using the core integration, custom component or MQTT?
This one:
Have you tried to reset the Shelly?
Not yet, I wanted to find out the source of the error.
Have you tried to set the device up new in HA?
I’ve done it just now
Do you have unicast with HA as peer enabled in Shelly developer settings?
I haven’t changed anything in basic settings.
So to be honest I don’t even know where this setting is to find. And it worked until last week and all other shellys are still working fine.
Is there a physical switch connected?
No
Thank you for your questions and honestly I think with the reinstall of the integration it’s fine. If I test it now it works (but lets see how long).
But I’m still asking why this could happen, what could cause a HA-switch to be like a passive visual without function?
I have Fibaro and Shelly installed and I like both, but if I’m having problems it’s always a shelly. Is that simply the price for the low purchase costs (compared with fibaro)?
If a new setup helped it’s rather the integration than the Shelly. And if it’s the Shelly it’s rather the firmware than the cheap hardware.
You can always switch to MQTT or install a custom firmware on the Shelly (ESPHome, Tasmota,…).
I have over 20 Shellys in my home, using stock firmware and core integration, and never had an issue.
If you still have an issue you can take a look on the event bus and see what’s happening.
Connection and operation problems with a pair of Shelly 1s in my house were permanently solved by flashing ESPHome. My 1PM is running stock firmware over MQTT flawlessly.
Thank you both very much.
