Cannot add Gen 1 flood device to a room in the app

Hello

I am new to Shelly devices, but I have been able to successfully integrate a shelly plug, a shelly gas and a Shelly Door/Window 2 sensor in to both my Home Assistant and the Shelly android app (v 5.0.8/7790643) earlier this year.

I am having difficulty getting a gen 1 flood sensor added to the app.

It seems to hang in the "Connecting... Kitchen flood is connecting to the cloud" state. It just cycles. I do briefly see a red message that says something about a network connection, but it flashes too quickly to read.

I can connect to and manage the device it via the IP in a browser but no joy adding it to a room in the app.

I have tried factory resetting and re adding but no luck. Meanwhile the app keeps showing the blue "Add discovered devices" button which for this flood sensor, does not work.

Any suggestions?

After dozens of different combinations of settings and configurations, I was able to finally get this device added to a room in my Shelly android app. What seemed to work was to remove the static IP I had already assigned to the device and then once it was added to the room, reassign the static IP. I did the static IP remove/reassignment in the browser rather than the app if that matters.

It all seems to be working properly now.

I'll also add that for some reason only some devices I have set up display the wiFi SSID name in the Settings>Device info area of the app. Not a big deal because they are all on their own wifi, but it seems strange that it is hit or miss whether that information shows in the UI or not.

My shelly gas and shelly plug does show the wifi SSID and RSSI but the others (door/window, flood) do not. may this is the battery vs 110V power?
