  • Shelly Button 1 (Shelly Button 2) Setup, Reset and Installation - Lessons Learned

    Hi,

    My brother and I struggled with this device for days, having initially set it up only to have it not work and not be accessible and constantly fall asleep. In addition the FACTORY RESET option in the APP Menu simply did NOT reset it. Even when we attempted to "FACTORY RESET" it AND DELETE it from the App, then tried to re-add it, it kept coming back as the same device, with the same name and all the same settings.

    So, we thought we would provide some feedback on our experiences and what worked for us in getting it set up.

    No guarantees, but it might work for you and if it does great, because if you're here reading this and you're you are as desperate (and desperately tired) as we were, then this might be your Eureka moment. If it does, post a wee note below to let us know your experience.

    I would really appreciate if you don't just diss the post please and say 'RTM'; that is not positive. We did RTM and found it either lacking, confusing or incomprehensible for our situation.

    Shelly Button 1 Setup; Lessons Learned:

    • Open the back gently, remove the Battery and set it up on USB Power only; i.e. UNPLUG it from the Battery. If you do not have USB Power to hand, it might work if you unplug the battery and leave it for a for a while, then reinsert and go through the RESET procedure. We did not test this.
    • To RESET, find the reset button UNDER the battery, do a 10 sec press, wait 5 secs whilst you watch the blinking LED, wait another 10 secs to ensure you then see a faster blinking LED, release the rest button. Refer Shelly Button Instructions under "Installation/Initial inclusion"; this part was useful .
    • ⁠Connect the Device via Phone or Tablet to the Temporary Shelly SSID (e.g. shellybutton1-
    • 35FA58 per instructions) then access the Web Interface via IP Address 192.168.33.1 first, before moving to Router and Cloud App. You might want to update to the BETA FW at this stage. Currently 1.14.1-RC.
    • You can access the Web GUI via the Shelly Setup IP Address or AFTER you connect to your main network, via the IP Address given by the Router (DHCP-assigned or a Static IP set by you).
    • You can only update to beta FW from the WebGUI; NOT from the shelly App, that only offers the stable FW.
    • You can only input a separate Time Server (sntp/ntp) from the WebGUI; NOT from the shelly App, that only offers a semi-automatic Geo-location.
    • If you use Home Assistant (HA) you can only setup CoIoT (192:168:.xx:xxx:5683) from the WebGUI; NOT from the shelly App, that only offers an option for the Outbound WebSocket i.e. (ws://192.168.xx.xxx:8123/api/shelly/ws), where xx is the subnet and xxx is the address of your HA Server respectively.

    ⁠NOTE 1: BUTTON PRESSES !!!(and this is very important)!!!

    • We found that if you link (using the little link Icon) URL (DDD) or HTTP commands to other Switches or Devices, these Button-presses will ONLY fire on either Battery OR USB Power; but NOT both. (EDIT: Actually when the units charged up overnight, "both" did work, but seems flaky).
    • So if you find "nothing happens", the LEDs do not suggest they 'clicked', then do what we did and take out the Battery, run it on USB only.
    • You can also run (and fire successful Button Presses) ONLY on the Battery, but there is a post click timeout of 0s-5s which makes the thing go to sleep and if you need to access it to amend URLs etc it was impossible (for us at least) to get it to wake up.
    • Often it says "Setting saved successfully, the device is currently sleeping. It will update once it wakes up." Well, for us that was a big fat lie as (on battery) it did not (or only rarely) ever update when it woke up (which it struggled to do).

    ⁠NOTE 2: FIRMWARE UPDATES

    • As regards FW Updates please note that the App only updates to the latest STABLE version (and this is important, for what follows).
    • If you want to check for and update to the latest BETA Version, then you can only do it through the WebGUI as noted above. All good so far.
    • However when you go to the App and check for updates, it tells you "There's an Update!" so you probably get all excited and update it, without looking at the revision.
    • However the latest Stable Version is e.g. 1.14.0 but the BETA was 1.14.1-RC, so the update effectively 'downgrades' the FW (to the latest Stable version). Just a heads up.
    • Separately,If you want to check FW status, then based on this page, I discovered the FW repo can be useful to access if for nothing else than to check the latest Beta RC Version for Shelly Button 1, called SHBTN-2. In that site, there's a .txt file which gives version information and a .zip file which has the FW itself; note that sometimes the site is not accessible. For Shelly Button 1, is SHBTN-2 (which I think is why when you bought a Shelly Button 1, you sometimes see "Shelly Button 2" on the Device Information tab in the App, see picture attached). Causes quite some confusion.
    • There is also a direct FW Update tool http://archive.shelly-tools.de/, but I strongly suggest you just do it in the WebGUI.

  • 401 Unauthorized

    Hi,

    I know this is an old thread, but it's the same error for me.

    Quick background, I have a Shelly Button 1 (for simplicity) activating a Central Heating Relay (mini Gen3), switching it on or off.

    The relay is ALSO on a schedule, so I wanted to write a simple URL sent from the Shelly Button that if I select OFF, it disables the Input, which I understand essentially "deactivates" the Switch and thus any scheduled "On" calls.

    Switching the Shelly Button 1 back "On" should reactivate the Relay, setting it to "On" by setting the Toggle (in_mode: follow) and "initial_state":"match_input"}. I assume the schedule just continues from there. Small disclaimer, I am also investigating just disabling the schedules, but it's coming along as a lot more complicated, with scripts.

    The OFF URL called from Shelly Button 1 to the CH Relay is:

    Code
    http://admin:password@192.168.47.127/rpc/Switch.SetConfig?id=0&config={"in_mode":"detached","initial_state":"off"}

    The ON URL called from Shelly Button 1 to the CH Relay is:

    Code
    http://admin:password@192.168.47.127/rpc/Switch.SetConfig?id=0&config={"in_mode":"follow","initial_state":"match_input"}

    If I leave OUT the Authentication (i.eadmin:password@), it works fine, testing OFF and ON as follows:

    Code
    http://192.168.47.127/rpc/Switch.SetConfig?id=0&config={"in_mode":"detached","initial_state":"off"}
http://192.168.47.127/rpc/Switch.SetConfig?id=0&config={"in_mode":"follow","initial_state":"match_input"}

    But when Authentication is added back in, (also using a Chrome Browser), the "sign in" text box in Chrome keeps prompting for the username and password. It doesn't take the password.

    If I click cancel (the Chrome Authorization dialogue), I see:

    Code
    {
  "restart_required": false
}

    The odd thing is if I just issue a simple GetConfig (as below, I can type in the admin:password in the dialogue box and it gets the result of GetConfig just fine (EDIT: I understand this is one of very few exceptions).

    Code
    http://192.168.47.127/rpc/Switch.GetConfig?id=0

    Does anyone know why does it not "take" the passwordand how to get around this please?

    Thx!

    NOTE1: The Chrome Browser console responds with

    Code
    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 ()

    NOTE2: I used HttpToolkit and got this output, if it helps? See METHOD GET.txt file attached.

  • Script for Switching Multiple Shelly Devices off/on and Enable/Disable Schedule

    Hi there, I am looking to do the exact same thing, I think.

    Very new to all this but I traied adding a script like this to turn off (disable) all the schedules and switch off the relay.

    If I run any one line manually in a browser it works fine; a few questions for you please, if I may?

    1. I get an error -3 reference_error when testing it from within Shelly WegGUI. How do I run the script?

    2. You said you used a loop, presumably to just disable the schedules from sched x to sched y step 1, where x is the start no (I need to start at 2) and y is the highest (can you call up this maximum) ? Would I be able to see your script please?

    3. I saved this in the relay I wish to turn off, if I wish to reference this script from another device (Shelly Button 1) where do I find the URL for the script?

    Thank you!
