Shelly Plus 2PM vs. Shelly 2.5

  • Hi Everybody,

    I have successfully Shelly'd a number of roller shutters with Shelly 2.5. Work like a charm, both from the app and from the old-school button.

    Recently I've got Shelly Plus 2PM, as a supposedly newer evolution of the kind. I switched device profile to "cover", and the rollers fine ok from the app. However, the issue is that with the wall buttons (which are exactly the same as the other) I am unable to switch direction.

    Namely, when both buttons are set to "off" I can select any direction. But when one of the buttons is set to on, let's say down, if I switch to up, the shutter stands still. When I switch back to down, it still stands still.

    I have moved the Shelly 2.5 that works fine to this new location, and with 2.5 it works as expected - I can switch up and down as I please. With Plus 2PM I have to switch to neutral, wait and then switch in the desired direction. It seems to me like Plus 2PM switches inputs too quicky, and both are "on" for a short while, which blocks the shutter.

    Is there any settings I should specifically change/adapt, await firmware update, or just toss 2PM and get 2.5?

    Thanks!

  • Welcome to the forum!

    To your issue: Please call the configuration data from Shelly plus 2PM with command

    Code
    http://<ip-of-Shelly/rpc/shelly.getconfig

    and from Shelly 2.5 with command

    Code
    http://<ip-of-Shelly>/settings

    and post both strings here. Many thanks!

  • Thanks, those are the configs:

    For Shelly 2.5:

    And for Shelly Plus 2PM

  • Thanks for the configuration data! Obviously, you’ve set the input type to “switch” at your Shelly plus 2PM. Please try to set input type “button”:

  • Thank you, yes, that did the trick!

    However, I am still not able to reproduce the control that I have with another 2.5 - namely, ability to stop movement by switching back to neutral (both buttons). It allows to set intermediate positions with just old-style buttons.

    Does 2PM Plus support "momentary" type of switch?
