B. Shelly

1.

Shelly usually works with 230V supply voltage, except for the few battery powered devices such as H & T.

Even if it is never heard like:

If startup problems occur, there are already some threads and lexicon entries that can help. Just have a look at the appropriate subforum or use the search.

By the way, it is not so rare that the router password is accidentally entered in the Shelly instead of the WLAN key. Of course that doesn't work! You should also not rely on the WLAN password that is often printed on the outside, because this could and should be changed during operation. So if you have problems -> check the password in the router / AP.

The Shelly don't like special characters in the SSID and in the network key.

And if you integrate via smartphone, you should switch off "mobile data" so that only WLAN is active.

Router incompatible

By the way: The Shelly don't like special characters in the SSID and in the network key. A hidden SSID is also a stumbling block!

And if you integrate via smartphone, you should switch off "mobile data" so that only WLAN is active. Otherwise, the smartphones switch to the mobile data world during the coupling process and of course no longer find the Shelly. Problems are "inevitable".

3.

Anyone who uses third-party firmware, such as Tasmota wants to flash, should first make a complete startup with the original firmware and test all functions. Thus, in case of problems after flashing, a hardware problem can definitely be ruled out.

Create a backup of the original firmware and save it before flashing on third party firmware! This facilitates the eventual return.

4.

If a Shelly does not work as expected after successful commissioning, the wiring should first be checked again. This includes the terminals (for example, for accidentally trapped insulation).

Do not rely on vein colors. Please always measure and ideally also report the results later in the thread to your own problem.

5.

In terms of IP address, the manual assignment of a fixed IP is preferable to the reference via DHCP. A fixed IP prevents many errors / problems in the further operation.

How to reach your Shelly in Access Point Mode (AP) is described here

If you have problems with the Shelly Cloud APP, this lexicon entry will help.

Are you having trouble getting your Shellys into your own network (Client-Mode (CM))? This lexicon entry could help.
