State update nor working by ShellyforHASS and Shelly APP

Configuration
1

I have just installing my new little shellies but not working very fine.

Shelly Dimmer 2
I have a normal togle switch UP and DOWN
On the app Button type is Edge mode
Not connected to Cloud

When i press on Switch UP light goes UP but on the app it dont update the state. It says OFF. i must then on the app click twice to turn off the light.

This is also when the Light is turned ON and i wlll turn off the light via Switch DOWN.

Wherever the state wil not be updated.

  • Installed ShellyForHASS
    It found the shelly and added as integration, but i can’t turn on turn off via hass. the state is constant on OFF state on HASS.

How can i solve my problem?

Is MQTT maybe o solution but which MQTT commands code should i to use for the shelly’s ?

Should Tasmota maybe solve my problem and can i then also use Regular Switch button also to turn on/off by every click

Check the firmware version of your Shelly devices. There is an issue with ShellyForHass and v1.8.
