Sidenote:  
I just thought of something though, during the pairing process, does the Homey need to be close to the Shelly, as in making a direct connection between them? Currently the Shelly is connected to a mesh satellite and the Homey is connected by cable to the main router, could that interfere somehow?

How? I cannot find anything like that in the Shelly App

No, the Shelly and Homey both need proper WiFi signal though.

I just noticed this is a first generation device. You need to check the coap peer setting. Probably under the network settings. It’s all described in the first post.

Sounds reasonable, I’m gonna check the webinterface for my shellys when I get home from work, perhaps they are still configured for the old non-static IP for my Homey before I actually changed everything to static (since they were actually connected properly back then)  
Thanks, I’ll post an update later 👍

Ok, so I finally got to adding one of them now,

1. I went to the “Advanced - developer settings” and set the ColoT peer to the static IP of my Homey Pro.  
That didn’t help.

2. I turned off cloud.  
Still nothing.

3. I removed the gateway (which was set to the IP of the main Mesh router)  
Now it connected!

I was about to rant about not receiving any data but just now I got an updated reading, so it works now (fingers crossed)

Phew, that was NOT an easy thing, is this whole smart home thing really supposed to be this troublesome? There is just no way that someone who isn’t a geek by choice would manage to pull this off or even have the stamina to research this. Shit, I spent like 3 days now trying to get a freakin temperature sensor working. (which is supposed to be working out of the box with Homey)  
I’m starting to regret my choice of going down the smart home rabbit hole already, and I just started last weekend… 😮

Anyway, thanks for the assistance. Now I’m off to trying the get "#! google home to behave and allowing me to open the chicken coop door (marked “Works with google home”) I purchased which apparently can’t be opened through automation due to “security reasons”, sigh.

You picked the wrong device to start with. This battery operated WiFi device of the first generation can be a little tricky.

Shelly Plus 2PM - Installs as 2 devices in Homey pro, and the last device does not reconnect to homey after long power outage. All other devices, included switch 1/device 1 reconnects, and all devices reconnects to shelly cloud. I have to delete both Shelly Plus 2PM devices in Homey and reinstall to get connected. It will not reconnect if I only delete the disconnected device. I have tried rebooting and power cycling. Any advice?

Delete both device and re-pair will most likely fix it.

Yes, I did. But then I have to delete them every time they lose power. Very inconvenient.

If stuff doesnt work after loosing power you probably didnt assign static IP addresses within your network (as instructed in the pairing and troubleshoot instructions). It’s not related to how the app or Homey functions.

The “two devices” (one Shelly Plus 2PM) have the same IP address and only one of them reconnects.

Please explain what reconnects mean. If a device can not be reached it will show as unreachable. Do you mean the second device will stay unreachable in Homey even if the first device becomes online again?

Yes, the second device stay unreachable in Homey, but is online in the Shelly app (cloud). The first device works perfectly both in Homey and in Shelly app.

I’m configuring and calibrating my new Shelly Wave Shutters together with the “dumb motor” screens we’ve bought. So far so good.

When clicking the “completely close” button in the Homey interface, the screen only goes down for 5.2 seconds. My guess is that this is related to the setting as shown in the screenshot attached.

The description states the value is in seconds, but I think this value is in deca-seconds (1/10th of a second)?

It’s weird though that all time-related parameters get an argument in 1/100th of a second, but not this one.

Yeah. I checked a spreadsheet with parameters that I was given by Allterco Robotics and it says seconds as well. But I’ll ask them.

The Shelly Motion 2 sensor in Homey is not showing the battery status and not showing the signal strength.  
What can I do to solve the problem.  
In native Shelly app the values are correct.
