At 13:28 you showed the wiring for Shelly 1 on a garage door. I looked at that and thought, “I have everything in that picture already. I can make this without buying anything.” So I immediately built the circuit- twice since I have two garages. And it all worked. Nice! I should also comment that I’m using the stock factory firmware and home assistant with Shelly for hass integration. It all works great. I needed to set the switch mode to “disconnected” and the auto off to 1 second in the firmware menu. Also the power loss setting to “off” for after power is restored. Then I added an automation for when the state changes of the switch to send a notification to my phone saying the door just opened. This is fun to get these things working.
hamhumtube sometimes WiFi issues are caused by the router and not the iot device. I know my thermostat was constantly disconnecting from WiFi and I replaced my router with a different brand and it’s worked reliably ever since.
@@neilbrookins8428 yes i agree. but disconnecting problem of shelly 1's is a known issue. i have seen many threads over forums. and flashing is cheaper instead of buying new router.
Thanks for video, flashed Shelly EM OTA, and it worked great. Stock Shelly firmware produces inaccurate power and voltage measuremenst. Tasmota now quite accurate. Doing Shelly 1 PM next.
GREAT video. I actually did this today with my newly tasmotized Shelly 1! One thing I'd like to point out is that just like the instruction in changing switchmode2 1 to switchmode1 2, be sure to update the Rules from switch2 to switch1. Thanks for the great instructions. Learned so much from this project!!
Just bought my first set of 8 Shelly 1's. The first one I tried to flash didn't work. It's bricked now so I'm going to try and flash it the old fashioned way. However, the next one I did I made sure to update the firmware first by connecting to it through a browser. Once done, I flashed using the OTA method described in your video and the other 7 worked great!!! Thanks!!!
My Shelly1 is stuck at "The Magic"... It did have the latest shelly firmware "20210429-100340/v1.10.4-g3f94cd7". it musta be bricked now :( Were you able to flash it using old fashion wires?
A couple things it does require the ability to reach the URL of the firmware. If not you can always use the manual method of wires. The only time the manual method of wires doesn't work is if you let the magic smoke out of the chip via some physical means.
@@digiblurDIY I went and wired flashed it. Device is not bricked. However, I could only flash an old 6.3.0 version. And no matter how I tried to Upgrade Firmware from within Tasmota, I would end up with *Upload buffer miscompare* or another hang. I OTA flashed a 2nd Shelly1. Almost same thing. Device rebooted once (on the 2nd minute mark) but nothing followed after 30+ mins. I power cycle the device and it reconnected to my Wifi network. Its web interface displayed files and folders; one of the file is "wifiresetdata". Accessing it via *shellyIP/wifiresetdata* reset the device and it is back at 7:00 "Tasmota connecting". 2nd Shelly1 is running firmware 9.5.0 Did I not wait long enough? 30mins not long enough for it to OTA flash?
Sounds like you have some bad files. If you are flashing via wire then that's full power over the chip. You can flash whatever you want. If it is not flashing via OTA then it sounds like you have an internet issue.
This is cool. I have a box of Shellys I need to flash. Almost makes it too easy. The header is a bugger to flash using resistor leads. 11:40 likely explains why the Anbes I tried to upgrade is soft-bricked.
Awesome video, thanks!! I am getting close to adding shelly devices at as many switches as possible in my house. That is in part due to all the work and information you have put out here. Again, Thanks!!
Travis, Great video. Thanks for taking the time to pull all of the info together. These easy to follow steps and instructions are really helpful for folks in their home automation journey. 👏👍👍
Just thought it would be nice to create a simple automation toggled by a physical switch or button in your HA dashboard that slightly opens the garage door in order to vent when it turns into an oven. Thanks again for the great content!
Thank you boss. I can't believe this is such an easy method. like yesterday i flashed my shelly 1 old school. there is one another in the wall already now I will flash that sucker without touching it. : )
And sir have shelly temperature addon sensor shop.shelly.cloud/temperature-sensor-addon-for-shelly-1-1pm-wifi-smart-home-automation#312 after flashing should i simply connect the sensor or should i do some configuration regarding gpio pins. Thanks for this meticulous tutorial.
Very cool. On a side note there isn’t a template for the dimmer. Found out how to flash the stock firmware back the hard way after flushing to tasmota and then finding out there isn’t a template. Search for a template before flashing!
Travis the Yellow and red wires on your drawing (the one which goes to the button) have supply coming out from them when triggered. Roller doors normally need a quick short so it means you are putting DC across the contacts. Plus my reed doesn't work.
The Shelly1 is a dry contact relay so it isn't putting anything across except what is already there by design of the original opener. The pulse time makes a short burst just like a button press.
@@digiblurDIY Thank you. I had a better look and the pins are not the same as shelly1. One other thing the reed isn’t working is there something I need to change output
I was able to use this method but had some trouble initially. My Shelly 1 would not download the firmware from the author's provided links. Finally I enabled the built-in apache service on MacOS and downloaded the firmware from my own local server. For some reason hosting the firmware on my own local network worked fine.
@@digiblurDIY I have a firewall on my desktop computer, but not on the network. There shouldn't be anything blocking a WiFi device from accessing the internet. Also, the Shelly accessed the internet to download Shelly firmware.
I use Firefox, after flashing the Shellycloud web cache kept preloading cache blocking the Tasmotized shelly switch. Opened another browser to confirm it worked. So I could wipe cache in firefox, or just add /? to the devices IP to load tasmota web ui. type: tasmotize.ip/? to load the proper page. Thanks Travis!
Hello, love your videos, see if you or anyone can answer this question, im moving to my first home and I've decided to make all the switches smart, watching your videos and my investigation I went with sonoff TX T2/T3 for same aesthetics throughout the house, but I want a dimmer in some areas so I got the shelly dimmer, I just thought how would it be possible to have both on the same line going sonoff(tasmotised) > shelly dimmer > light, how would the wiring setup be?
You would need to keep power to the Shelly dimmer at all times of course. You could use device groups and/or button presses to control the dimmer though.
Thanks for taking the time to make this simple video tutorial! My first Shelly 1 is still on the way and this is likely a dumb question...do I have to power it with 110V to flash or can I use low voltage as well? If so...why did you choose 110? Thanks!
I might have said 110 but I guess technically 120v here, but it is whatever mains powered is. You can just low voltage off the pins but at that point you might as well just serial flash it. If you do the DC wiring on the terminals and follow the jumper wiring diagram you can also do the OTA that way. Doesn't matter how you power it as long as you do it.
Hey! Thanks for the video! Unfortunately I can't flash my Shelly 1 using this method... I enter the URL, it says "updating" and I noticed, that the new version says nothing at all.... I waited about 30 minutes but nothing happened. Any idea what I can do to solve this?
@@digiblurDIY problem solved! I could have sworn it had access but then I double-checked and remembered I did a few firewall experiments a few weeks ago. Thanks for showing me the way!!!!
Very Nice. Just getting into all of this. What was that box with the red lid for mains power to the shelly. I didnt see that listed in the video description. Thanks for all of the cool videos.
I will warn you, due to recent issues the price of it has practically doubled. Not as bad if you buy 20+ from Newark though but who needs 20? I added this to the video description. Thanks!

I've been follow your very helpfully videos for some time now. Thank you for taking the time to do them. I'm trying to get the garage opener working with MyQ stuff. Could you elaborate on to get it working. You suggested something about a spare opener.
I've seen people connect to the opener itself or a spare opener in the house somewhere. Here is one example I saw. blog.smarterhome.club/2020/04/05/shelly-1-garage-door-opener-the-easy-way-or-the-fun-way/
@@digiblurDIY Thank you very much. That is the same opener ,well slightly different button assembly. I will open it and see if it has a momentary button.
Travis, thanks for another great video. I used the template for a Shelly plug US. The relay does not toggle on and off. When I hit the toggle button it says it comes on, but turns off a second later. The relay never comes on. Any ideas?
@@digiblurDIY Again, you are the man. I had used the template above instead of from your web site. Thank you again! My Home Assistant experience would be very bad if it wasn't for people like you.
I saw they have versions here but I do not know if it is supported via third party firmware yet. I need to make a momentary push button wall switch first myself before I can install mine. github.com/yaourdt/mgos-to-tasmota/issues/3#issuecomment-657048632
I recently grabbed two shelly plug us, but when I try to flash, i just get a white screen that says "not found" have you seen this? i will note that when i connect to the device in a browser, it says Shelly PLUS plug US. is this a newer version?
I haven't heard or seen that one yet. If it is indeed the new esp32 plus series, I only know of manually flashing at this point. The switchbot over the air plugs might be better option at this point.
Great video. Thanks for the clear description of the OTA process. This has cleared up many questions I had. A final question.....is this do-able using a Apple MAC?
@@digiblurDIY Thanks!! Asked the question before I tried. It worked perfectly. I do have another question. I seemed to have put my shelly 1 into a unknown state. I can't ping it. I can connect to it at all. Is there a procedure to reset to factory settings or is it trash now?
It would only be trash if you physically smoked it by shorting it out. If the upgrade failed or was interrupted you can recover it via the header pins and a serial TTL adapter.
Awesome video, as always! I tried to flash a shelly rgbw OTA with the latest firmware and it continually failed. I hope they haven't disabled this ota method!
I had to first upgrade to the latest official Shelly firmware then it worked. Got stuck for a while until I read the notes on the github page where it is mentioned it is a common issue with the RGBW2 . And many thanks Travis for all the fantastic videos.
Love the shelly stuff. Have a handful of shelly 1 installed around, but I have had to switch a few to sonoff minis for the external antenna. My all metal outlet boxes and stainless steel switch plates (WAF) make the wifi signal basically crap inside those little boxes. Anyone know a good way to put an external antenna on a shelly?
Some of the Shelly devices actually have an antenna inside on the back of the case. I assume some sort of mod to the case could be in order. You could also pull the boxes and put plastic ones. Not too bad to do with the old work boxes. I swapped several myself.
Wish Sonoff Mini's were as easy to flash OTA as Shelleys now appear to be. If I'm missing something about how Sonoff Mini's can be done in similar fashion please let me know. Thx
Perfect thank you! Quick question I did the shelly 2.5. Setup mqtt but it only imported toggle1.... how do I setup for toggle2? I tried adding it manually in yaml file. I managed to be able to see it but not able to change it. Any chance you can point me in the right direction thank you.
Just flashed the Shelly Dimmer 2 using your method! Worked flawlessly, but when the switch shows on in Home Assistant and Alexa, the light does not come on. I used the correct template and checked everything I know to check, but still no lights.. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
@@digiblurDIY that’s a game changer for me cause I can put a regular switch with hole in the middle of..and led and cover and behind this a Shelly with no neutral .. hmmm thank you
Brilliant! Done 2 shelly1's this week no issues. How do I set it to just send me the mqtt messages when the switch is triggered but detach the actual relay? Like the 'detached' option on the stock firmware? (used in a basic PIR). Thanks
@@digiblurDIY sorry noob here with tasmota. You mean physical buttons on the actual Shelly1 device? No buttons. Looking the 9.1.0 notes. Not sure why SetOption114 1 is not working. is SetOption73 1 an alternative? Detach switches from relays and lights using command SetOption114 1 Added official Tasmota integration for Home Assistant. Still in beta ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE ⚠️ Redesigned GPIO representation changing Template layout. Read more... ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE ⚠️ Changed SetOption73 1 JSON result from {"ACTION":"SINGLE"} to {"Button1":{"Action":"SINGLE"}}
Yes setoption73 does button inputs configured and 114 does switches configured ad inputs. I have used both for decoupling the relay as well as the previous way of using rules.
Thanks for another great video. I flashed a Shelly 2.5 and it worked flawlessly but today I flashed a Shelly 1 and it shows up in Home Assistant devices as a "device_tracker.unifi_xxxxxxxx" not as a switch. Any ideas where I screwed up ?
Luv the vid. Built 2 for each of my garage doors. But the wife is pissed as she is very security conscience. I reboot my hassio at 2AM everyday and it cause my garage door to open. I think it can be fixed with poweronstate. But I can't figure it out. Any ideal?
Any clues as what to do when OTA won't start? The link is alright I get a response "{"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"","old_version":"20200629-130515/release-1.7@28744b8b"}" But nothing happens...
Hi. Sorry but it's not working to flash with tasmota on my 1PM. I try and try and try... Even donwngrading the firmware to older one succeeded, but not working with tasmota...
You might try the manual method. Also get the cable for the ones with smaller pins. www.tindie.com/products/voltlog/voltlink-cp2102n-usb-serial-adapter-programmer/
I did have some trouble getting this to work. It turned out to be that when I set a static IP, I did not supply a gateway. The shelly wasnt able to get out to the internet to download the file. Before I did this it would drop connection once, so i thought it was working. Once I put a gateway in, then it worked like in this video. It may not be an issue if you leave it DHCP? Thanks for the video!
digiblurDIY So I did the Shelly 1 setup, but I dont know how to display the open / closed state of the reed sensor in home assistant. Just getting started with HA TASMOTA SHELLY. At this time I would prefer to just get it into HA without NODERED. Any suggestions?
After flashing tasmota on a Shelly Duo when I choose "upgrade firmware" it gives a warning "minimal firmware, please update" and MQTT is not available. Is there a binary I can upload to reflash? (tasmota 13.1)
Is temperature of 50C considered an acceptable temp? I have Shelly Dimmer 2 and even in off mode, temperature gets to 50C especially when enclosed. I have not tried to monitor the temperature before flashing Tasmota binaries so cannot tell if the same reading is with the original binaries. Any feedback on this is appreciated
@@digiblurDIY Yes I have. Tasmota 9.2.0, STM32 v51.5. Temp stays around 55C when loaded and enclosed. I think this should be fine knowing that chips are designed for over 100C junction temp. I am not sure where temp sensor is on this device but even if it measures ambient temp, this should be acceptable.
Hi, I have a question, I have flashed my tasmota and it worked fine, untill i changed my LAN setting , prevously i used 192.168.1. but now i use 192.168.10, So shelly 1pm is not on the network will OTA works??remember i installed shelly 1pm on th wall, sorry my English is not good.
Great video as usual. I picked up a Shelly 1 and followed your video, but everytime the state of the reed switch changes the relay toggles. I think I missed something somewhere!
@@digiblurDIY Yes. First time using a rule, but added it and turned it on. Rule 1 shows the On state. Why does it have switch2. When I toggle the reed switch it shows switch1?
Glad you were able to figure it out. Where did you get switch2 from on the rule? I checked the blog post and I see it is showing switch1 but want to make sure it isn't somewhere else.
@@digiblurDIY It is the rule from your blog "(This rule below should all be pasted at one time) Rule1 on switch2#state=0 do publish2 stat/%topic%/status closed endon on switch2#state=1 do publish2 stat/%topic%/status open endon"
Does flashing enable proper bluetooth proxy mode on the shelly 2nd gen? Right now I can't use them with my LD2410C which sucks cause I got a lot of shelly 2PMs around the house
I think you can use the stock Shelly firmware too with the BT proxy, I've never done it though. For BT Proxy though I'd really recommend a dual core ESP32, like the Wyze plugs I did or even just a simple ESP32 nodemcu.
@@digiblurDIYSo shelly does have BT proxy in the stock firmware but it's either active or passive (not sure) and isn't working with the LD2410C. I got a everything presence lite (with bt proxy) and it immediately picked up the LD2410C and HA could see it from 1 floor away. Using a ESP32 nodemcu is my last resort... it gets complicated hiding these around the house at some point and I already have about 20 shelly 2PMs scattered around :) Is it easy to flash back stock shelly firmware if I get around to testing tasmota / esphome and find out the BT proxy still won't work?
@@digiblurDIY ok, i try for 3 hours but not work. I think not possible with shelly Bulb... if it were possible it would have already been done by someone right? After a lot of test, my bulb not work, not connect to wifi... I think the waste basket will be its place
Oh my, I don't know what the mess up is, but I cant seem to find a fix. On 2 shelly 1 devices the same problem. Tasmota is flashed, then I connect the device to my network, I see it popping up. But it keeps dis and reconnecting or something (you see it show up and go away again for a second) and I can't visit the web interface. Giving the device an new stactic IP or the same IP with a static rule makes them disappear and never show up again. You got any wild ideas? Anyhow, Thx for the video :) I have 3 of them working, now these last two.
@@digiblurDIY No, not that I'm aware of. Do you know a way to reset the Tasmota firmware? The powering off and on, and the 5 times triggering the input connector are non responsive.
You flashed ESPHome off camera. Is there a video on how to OTA ESPHome after Tasmota(lite)? Sorry for the noob question, the Shelly is in the wall and I'd prefer not to have to pull it.
Hmm... I've done it some projects before but with an ESP8266 it is simple. Just put Tasmota lite on the device, then upload your Esphome bin using the Tasmota GUI.
Hey Travis, Last night I flashed my Shelly 2.5 to tasmota this way. I did the update, all went good, as I was checking the configuration I noticed all that was on the main page was, the temperature and the 2 buttons no information like voltage, amp draw, any Ideas? I did use the right file and template. also no mqtt for energy just switch on off
I have this exact same problem today with a Shelly 2.5. There is no power information after the temperature and the two Toggle Buttons. The buttons don't work either, you can see actions appearing in the console but you can't hear the relays click. I have pasted the 2.5 template and clicked activate but when the unit reboots, its exactly the same. I physically power off the device and done loads of soft reboots, so I wonder how yours started working??
digiblurDIY thanks but I only get a single toggle on/off and colour settings. There is a user user on gpio05 whoch May switch between rgb and white but unsure what to do with it. Is there a discussion board or way I can share a picture?
Ok, I have a problem using this method. Everything went ok but the switches(relays) don't work. I updated a Shelly 2.5 UK, the firmware process went in fine, watched it reboot a few times. I then configured the device with the Shelly 2.5 template (in Other). I even have the device connecting fine to my HASS through MQTT but when I click on the Toggle Switches 1 and 2, I don't hear the relays. Fortunately, this device is accessible so I can hear the relays don't even toggle. This Shelly is/was functionally fine too, was working just before the OTA firmware switch to Tasmota. Sorry for the long message but I thought I'd try an pre-empt any question marks over the process and the operability of the Shelly prior to OTA.
I have a Shelly 2.5 here. This template is on it and running 9.2 of Tasmota.bin (make sure you are not using Tasmota- lite). If you need to update yours to the latest put this in the OTA upgrade URL field and hit the button and give it time to do the upgrade - ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/tasmota.bin If it still is stuck, use the Discord link and we can further look at why yours is not working.
Flashed with this process my Shelly EM with Tasmota, but no power metering is available, only the relay. Event with thew "official" template. Now can't even go back to sock firmware.
In my other one I did with the Sonoff SV I used this one. Most don't have long wires though. Reed Switch for Open/Close Sensor: amzn.to/2Uu8BxR Alternate Reed Switch: amzn.to/2MJLNpI
Quick question have you or anyone else noticed constant reboots? I'm at 78 reboots never stays up more than about 5 hours. Also once the device completely restored itself and was in access point mode all settings gone with no warning. Did the setup again and I started monitoring reboots and temp. I have an automation set to let me know if it gets above 80c also when it goes unavailable from home assistant. I'm not sure what's going on. Any advice would be great thanks again
I have uptime as 1 minute as it rebooted it seems. I have Restart reason: External System

Hi Travis. When I insert the url in my case (192.168.1.135//ota?url=dl.dasker.eu/firmware/mg2tasmota-Shelly25.zip) instead of the message that you have, I get "Not Found". Do you know what I'm doing wrong here?
I used the mg2tasmota-Shelly1 .zip on my Shelly 1 v3 and it never came back, I got the confirmation that it was going to do the update, waited 10 minutes and then no Tasmota wifi, neither could not get back from the IP it had, in which it was a static IP, any ideas?
You try this part? If the download fails, or your internet connection is disrupted, simply turn the device off and on again, the intermediate firmware will retry until it succeeds. In the unlikely event that the WIFI credentials are wrong, the device will try to connect to a backup WIFI with SSID mgos-recover and password RJoPuKC3u5, which you can use for recovery.
@@digiblurDIY just did, set up hot spot with my cell phone to see if at least I can get a connection to then setup a proper router, but no avail, I think I bricked the shelly some how, is there a way too un-bricked it using some sort of usb cable, I got a second shelly 1, but now I'm afraid to try and flash it, I wanted to use ESPhome for home assistant, but maybe will have to stick with mqtt :(
Have they changed something, because this does not work now. I only get this message, nothing under "new firmware" {"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"","old_version":"20190516-073020/master@ea1b23db"} Tried this with a Shelly Plug S. Device does not even reboot
I was able to use the link you referenced to flash the shelly plus 1. Everything was working fine until I initiated number 10 on the list (starting the safeboot conversion by hitting the start migration. Nothing after that looks like it went silent. I can see the wifi signal referencing tasmota but it time out on 192.168.4.1. Is it DOA? Can I flash it the old fashion way? Thanks in advance for your help.BTW Love your videos.
Yes you can still flash them via the pins on the bottom. I've done some later ones on that but if you want super simple someone made a flasher and cable for these new Plus line. www.tindie.com/products/voltlog/voltlink-cp2102n-usb-serial-adapter-programmer/
I am someone who doesn’t know anything about electronics or these electrical engineering words you are saying I am searching for someone with a simple step by step video of how can I install this and let my garage door open using my phone but I don’t find anything on UA-cam that helps me
i was like you too. keep digging you will reach there. after all those are electrical devices there will be some terminology. i did not see any heavy words in this very video though. I wish luck.
Thanks for your work, I managed to flash everything except the Bulb lamp, flashed but not working because I was unable to make a correct template. I ask you, is it possible to go back and install the correct firmware on the shellys? Not only the Bulb, but also a couple of Shelly1's I would like to put back with their Signature, but I can't. I found in the forum a link to this site where it says that is possibile update OTA forum.shellyitalia.it/viewtopic.php?t=3743 this is the site link con i firmware archive.shelly-tools.de/ then I also found another site that allows you to do it www.shelly-support.eu/index.php?shelly-firmware-archive/ but even here it doesn't work and I always get the same error: my browser after paste the long link generate: 192.168.1.5/ota?url=archive.shelly-tools.de/version/v1.9.3/SHBLB-1.zip File non trovato (in english "File not found") do you have any advice for me?

Think I bricked my Shelly :( Seemed like I got it flashing but no new AP. It's still reachable within my wifi though but when entering the IP I'm no longer getting a webgui. Only index of/. Good thing they're cheap 😂
Wait. This doesn't work. One cannot ask, "Alexa, is the garage door open?". Nor can one command "Alexa, close [or open] the garage door." Serious rethinking needed here from scratch to raise the content of this video above click bait.
@@digiblurDIY Digiblur, if I missed an Alexa integration demo, particularly the part where Alexa checks the status of the door open/closed hall effect sensor, and especially where Alexa operates the Shelly switch as a momentary SPST with adjustable time delay, the please accept my apology.
First I think you have my video mistaken with another given the click bait comment as I do not do that mess nor do I do the stupid crying pooping faces with bright ass colors on the videos. No Alexa here so you didn't miss it. That's a whole topic in itself for voice assistants and security aspects there with integrations. Definitely a PIN code item there if I ever did it.
@@digiblurDIY Actually.... I think I agree with you, digiBlur. Re-reading the title, I think you delivered as promised; the mis-interpretation of 'Home Assistant' in the description was mine. The click bait snark was uncalled for. Please accept my apology. I'd be interested in integration with any digital assistant, Alexa or Google, should you wish to tackle that video in the future.
UPDATE: The links have changed!! See here github.com/arendst/mgos-to-tasmota/blob/master/README.md
But Shelly Uni is missing. Will it be added?
Thanks for quick response. Will try and let you know if it works
At 13:28 you showed the wiring for Shelly 1 on a garage door. I looked at that and thought, “I have everything in that picture already. I can make this without buying anything.” So I immediately built the circuit- twice since I have two garages. And it all worked. Nice! I should also comment that I’m using the stock factory firmware and home assistant with Shelly for hass integration. It all works great. I needed to set the switch mode to “disconnected” and the auto off to 1 second in the firmware menu. Also the power loss setting to “off” for after power is restored. Then I added an automation for when the state changes of the switch to send a notification to my phone saying the door just opened. This is fun to get these things working.
Always different ways to do things in this hobby. Glad I was able to help a bit.
stock firmware keeps disconnecting from wifi. fyi.
hamhumtube sometimes WiFi issues are caused by the router and not the iot device. I know my thermostat was constantly disconnecting from WiFi and I replaced my router with a different brand and it’s worked reliably ever since.
@@neilbrookins8428 yes i agree. but disconnecting problem of shelly 1's is a known issue. i have seen many threads over forums. and flashing is cheaper instead of buying new router.
Can't say I have seen people say it is a known issue and I know quite a few that have the Shelly1 including myself.
Thanks for video, flashed Shelly EM OTA, and it worked great. Stock Shelly firmware produces inaccurate power and voltage measuremenst. Tasmota now quite accurate. Doing Shelly 1 PM next.
One of the many features we can tweak and do.
GREAT video. I actually did this today with my newly tasmotized Shelly 1! One thing I'd like to point out is that just like the instruction in changing switchmode2 1 to switchmode1 2, be sure to update the Rules from switch2 to switch1.
Thanks for the great instructions. Learned so much from this project!!
Yes, very much so. I'll be sure to make a note of it in the blog post about it.
Thanks mate! Really prefer not having to open up the devices when there is an easier way. Nice demonstration.
Totally agree! Love OTA upgrades to open source!
I really appreciate how you show how to accomplish things with Tasmota! This video was super helpful!
Great video. I doubted if this would work here in 10-2022 on a newly bought Shelly Plug S, but it did. Thanks a lot for this video 👍
Nice! Thanks for the confirmation!
Just bought my first set of 8 Shelly 1's. The first one I tried to flash didn't work. It's bricked now so I'm going to try and flash it the old fashioned way. However, the next one I did I made sure to update the firmware first by connecting to it through a browser. Once done, I flashed using the OTA method described in your video and the other 7 worked great!!! Thanks!!!
My Shelly1 is stuck at "The Magic"...
It did have the latest shelly firmware "20210429-100340/v1.10.4-g3f94cd7".

I OTA flashed a 2nd Shelly1. Almost same thing. Device rebooted once (on the 2nd minute mark) but nothing followed after 30+ mins. I power cycle the device and it reconnected to my Wifi network. Its web interface displayed files and folders; one of the file is "wifiresetdata". Accessing it via *shellyIP/wifiresetdata* reset the device and it is back at 7:00 "Tasmota connecting". 2nd Shelly1 is running firmware 9.5.0
Did I not wait long enough? 30mins not long enough for it to OTA flash?
Sounds like you have some bad files. If you are flashing via wire then that's full power over the chip. You can flash whatever you want.
If it is not flashing via OTA then it sounds like you have an internet issue.
This is cool. I have a box of Shellys I need to flash. Almost makes it too easy. The header is a bugger to flash using resistor leads.
11:40 likely explains why the Anbes I tried to upgrade is soft-bricked.
This prevents the older versions being written.
Awesome video, thanks!! I am getting close to adding shelly devices at as many switches as possible in my house. That is in part due to all the work and information you have put out here. Again, Thanks!!
That is awesome!
Travis, Great video. Thanks for taking the time to pull all of the info together. These easy to follow steps and instructions are really helpful for folks in their home automation journey. 👏👍👍
My pleasure! It is great to connect with others and help them down this journey. Teach the teacher so they can teach me stuff later is my "evil" plan.
Great - this is the first of your videos I have seen, and i like your approach. I am just getting into this so I will probably be back!
Thanks! Glad to have you.
Great video! ❤ Works like a charm for Shelly Duo RGB, 1PM. Thanks for putting this together Travis
Nice!
Great video. Glad to see the shellys are flashable w/o resorting to the USB uart...
Went thru this procedure for two shelly 1 that I purchased almost 2 years ago and have never used. No issues...
Thanks for video - I just flashed a Shelly Duo Bulb - amazingly easy !
Nice to hear they still work!
Great video! even for the old timers, must watch for everyone. All ways learning new tricks and tips! Thanks Travis
You bet! Pretty cool to just flash and roll with ease.
Excellent video, thank you. I can easily follow it even I'm not a native English speaker.
Glad it was helpful!
Just thought it would be nice to create a simple automation toggled by a physical switch or button in your HA dashboard that slightly opens the garage door in order to vent when it turns into an oven.
Thanks again for the great content!
That's a great idea!
Thank you boss. I can't believe this is such an easy method. like yesterday i flashed my shelly 1 old school. there is one another in the wall already now I will flash that sucker without touching it. : )
And sir have shelly temperature addon sensor shop.shelly.cloud/temperature-sensor-addon-for-shelly-1-1pm-wifi-smart-home-automation#312
after flashing should i simply connect the sensor or should i do some configuration regarding gpio pins.
Thanks for this meticulous tutorial.
It is slick! I love being able to just pop open the web browser and go.
Leave it connected and you will need to tell Tasmota which pins are connected and which sensor it is.
Very cool. On a side note there isn’t a template for the dimmer. Found out how to flash the stock firmware back the hard way after flushing to tasmota and then finding out there isn’t a template. Search for a template before flashing!
Did you see this thread? github.com/arendst/Tasmota/issues/6914
Travis the Yellow and red wires on your drawing (the one which goes to the button) have supply coming out from them when triggered. Roller doors normally need a quick short so it means you are putting DC across the contacts. Plus my reed doesn't work.
The Shelly1 is a dry contact relay so it isn't putting anything across except what is already there by design of the original opener. The pulse time makes a short burst just like a button press.
@@digiblurDIY Thank you. I had a better look and the pins are not the same as shelly1. One other thing the reed isn’t working is there something I need to change output
Been suggesting people to use the Shelly 2.5 dimmer when they don't have a neutral wire in their switch box. Solid products.
I was able to use this method but had some trouble initially. My Shelly 1 would not download the firmware from the author's provided links. Finally I enabled the built-in apache service on MacOS and downloaded the firmware from my own local server. For some reason hosting the firmware on my own local network worked fine.
Interesting... I tried one a couple weeks ago and it worked. No firewall blocking issues?
@@digiblurDIY I have a firewall on my desktop computer, but not on the network. There shouldn't be anything blocking a WiFi device from accessing the internet. Also, the Shelly accessed the internet to download Shelly firmware.
Very well explained video. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks Travis for this video. Usefull, I love everything the same too. And uptodate.
Thanks for watching!
Nice video Travis :) I don't have any shelly devices yet but it's very much good to know we have that option :)
Thanks for watching!
Great Video - love the idea ... but OTA Tasmota upgrade bricked my Shelley Dimmer 2 !
Luckily it has headers on it for recovery. Definitely report that to the github page.
OTA Flash Works a treat. Thank You.
Great to hear!
I guess if I flash Tasmota to it, it will no longer work with the stock Shelly app on my phones...?
Correct. If you want their app/cloud then by all means leave it stock. No worries there.
I use Firefox, after flashing the Shellycloud web cache kept preloading cache blocking the Tasmotized shelly switch. Opened another browser to confirm it worked. So I could wipe cache in firefox, or just add /? to the devices IP to load tasmota web ui. type: tasmotize.ip/? to load the proper page. Thanks Travis!
Yeah, the cache got me a couple times. Not a bad idea to open another browser to verify.
Hello, love your videos, see if you or anyone can answer this question, im moving to my first home and I've decided to make all the switches smart, watching your videos and my investigation I went with sonoff TX T2/T3 for same aesthetics throughout the house, but I want a dimmer in some areas so I got the shelly dimmer, I just thought how would it be possible to have both on the same line going sonoff(tasmotised) > shelly dimmer > light, how would the wiring setup be?
You would need to keep power to the Shelly dimmer at all times of course. You could use device groups and/or button presses to control the dimmer though.
Thanks for taking the time to make this simple video tutorial! My first Shelly 1 is still on the way and this is likely a dumb question...do I have to power it with 110V to flash or can I use low voltage as well? If so...why did you choose 110? Thanks!
I might have said 110 but I guess technically 120v here, but it is whatever mains powered is. You can just low voltage off the pins but at that point you might as well just serial flash it. If you do the DC wiring on the terminals and follow the jumper wiring diagram you can also do the OTA that way. Doesn't matter how you power it as long as you do it.
@@digiblurDIY Thank you! Appreciate the additional info!
Hey! Thanks for the video!
Unfortunately I can't flash my Shelly 1 using this method... I enter the URL, it says "updating" and I noticed, that the new version says nothing at all....
I waited about 30 minutes but nothing happened.
Any idea what I can do to solve this?
Is the device able to connect to the URL to download the firmware?
@@digiblurDIY problem solved! I could have sworn it had access but then I double-checked and remembered I did a few firewall experiments a few weeks ago. Thanks for showing me the way!!!!
Awesome! Glad it worked out
Very Nice. Just getting into all of this. What was that box with the red lid for mains power to the shelly. I didnt see that listed in the video description. Thanks for all of the cool videos.
I will warn you, due to recent issues the price of it has practically doubled. Not as bad if you buy 20+ from Newark though but who needs 20? I added this to the video description. Thanks!

I've been follow your very helpfully videos for some time now. Thank you for taking the time to do them. I'm trying to get the garage opener working with MyQ stuff. Could you elaborate on to get it working. You suggested something about a spare opener.
Is your button the digital encrypted type of thing on the wall?
@@digiblurDIY Yes I believe it is. It has the learn button also has the delay close buttons.
I've seen people connect to the opener itself or a spare opener in the house somewhere. Here is one example I saw. blog.smarterhome.club/2020/04/05/shelly-1-garage-door-opener-the-easy-way-or-the-fun-way/
@@digiblurDIY Thank you very much. That is the same opener ,well slightly different button assembly. I will open it and see if it has a momentary button.
is there a way to do this to flash espHome OTA directly? and or do you have a video going over how to flash espHome OTA in more detail?
Probably have to use a serial flash method to go right to Esphome.
Travis, thanks for another great video. I used the template for a Shelly plug US. The relay does not toggle on and off. When I hit the toggle button it says it comes on, but turns off a second later. The relay never comes on. Any ideas?
This is what I used. www.digiblur.com/2020/08/shelly-plug-us-with-power-monitoring.html
@@digiblurDIY Again, you are the man. I had used the template above instead of from your web site. Thank you again! My Home Assistant experience would be very bad if it wasn't for people like you.
Awesome! Glad to hear it fixed things!
Thanks for an other great tutorial Travis. Could you please confirm that the Shelly dinner is supported at this time.
I saw they have versions here but I do not know if it is supported via third party firmware yet. I need to make a momentary push button wall switch first myself before I can install mine. github.com/yaourdt/mgos-to-tasmota/issues/3#issuecomment-657048632
I recently grabbed two shelly plug us, but when I try to flash, i just get a white screen that says "not found" have you seen this? i will note that when i connect to the device in a browser, it says Shelly PLUS plug US. is this a newer version?
I haven't heard or seen that one yet. If it is indeed the new esp32 plus series, I only know of manually flashing at this point. The switchbot over the air plugs might be better option at this point.
Great video. Thanks for the clear description of the OTA process. This has cleared up many questions I had. A final question.....is this do-able using a Apple MAC?
Yes, as long as it has a web browser of some kind.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks!! Asked the question before I tried. It worked perfectly. I do have another question. I seemed to have put my shelly 1 into a unknown state. I can't ping it. I can connect to it at all. Is there a procedure to reset to factory settings or is it trash now?
It would only be trash if you physically smoked it by shorting it out. If the upgrade failed or was interrupted you can recover it via the header pins and a serial TTL adapter.
Very Helpful thank you!!!
Awesome video, as always! I tried to flash a shelly rgbw OTA with the latest firmware and it continually failed. I hope they haven't disabled this ota method!
I haven't heard of it yet, I'll check out my Shelly1 and try it again with the latest stock Shelly firmware.
I had to first upgrade to the latest official Shelly firmware then it worked. Got stuck for a while until I read the notes on the github page where it is mentioned it is a common issue with the RGBW2 . And many thanks Travis for all the fantastic videos.
Love the shelly stuff. Have a handful of shelly 1 installed around, but I have had to switch a few to sonoff minis for the external antenna. My all metal outlet boxes and stainless steel switch plates (WAF) make the wifi signal basically crap inside those little boxes. Anyone know a good way to put an external antenna on a shelly?
Some of the Shelly devices actually have an antenna inside on the back of the case. I assume some sort of mod to the case could be in order. You could also pull the boxes and put plastic ones. Not too bad to do with the old work boxes. I swapped several myself.
Is there a version link for the Shelly 2pm?
Wish Sonoff Mini's were as easy to flash OTA as Shelleys now appear to be. If I'm missing something about how Sonoff Mini's can be done in similar fashion please let me know.
Thx
I haven't kept up with the changing supposed DIY mode of the Minis. github.com/itead/Sonoff_Devices_DIY_Tools
Perfect thank you! Quick question I did the shelly 2.5. Setup mqtt but it only imported toggle1.... how do I setup for toggle2? I tried adding it manually in yaml file. I managed to be able to see it but not able to change it. Any chance you can point me in the right direction thank you.
Nm figured it out though someone else may have the same question if you have any links to help.
I have the template in the video description. You'll also find more info on the device here - tasmota.github.io/docs/devices/Shelly-2.5/
can you make a video on how to flash a Shelly EM stock firmware? i have a Shelly EM that got updated and turned off and doesnt turn on anymore.
I did one on the Shelly1 way back via USB TTL. This would be the same except the pins are smaller. Shelly has the pin outs on their website.
Thanks for doing this!!!
My pleasure!
Just flashed the Shelly Dimmer 2 using your method! Worked flawlessly, but when the switch shows on in Home Assistant and Alexa, the light does not come on. I used the correct template and checked everything I know to check, but still no lights.. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
I believe those dimmers have a secondary file to send over as well.
Hello can we put a led light status indicator ?
Yes. Use one of the GPIO pins. You could even do a ws2812 pixel.
@@digiblurDIY that’s a game changer for me cause I can put a regular switch with hole in the middle of..and led and cover and behind this a Shelly with no neutral .. hmmm thank you
Brilliant! Done 2 shelly1's this week no issues. How do I set it to just send me the mqtt messages when the switch is triggered but detach the actual relay? Like the 'detached' option on the stock firmware? (used in a basic PIR). Thanks
Probably looking for setoption114
@@digiblurDIY That's what I thought. Latest tasmota version too and relay still clicks. hmmm
If it has buttons then so73 is the option.
@@digiblurDIY sorry noob here with tasmota. You mean physical buttons on the actual Shelly1 device? No buttons.
Looking the 9.1.0 notes. Not sure why SetOption114 1 is not working. is SetOption73 1 an alternative?
Detach switches from relays and lights using command SetOption114 1
Added official Tasmota integration for Home Assistant. Still in beta
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE ⚠️ Redesigned GPIO representation changing Template layout. Read more...
⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE ⚠️ Changed SetOption73 1 JSON result from {"ACTION":"SINGLE"} to {"Button1":{"Action":"SINGLE"}}
Yes setoption73 does button inputs configured and 114 does switches configured ad inputs. I have used both for decoupling the relay as well as the previous way of using rules.
Thanks for another great video. I flashed a Shelly 2.5 and it worked flawlessly but today I flashed a Shelly 1 and it shows up in Home Assistant devices as a "device_tracker.unifi_xxxxxxxx" not as a switch. Any ideas where I screwed up ?
That sounds like it is coming from your UniFi integration to say if it is on the network or not.
Luv the vid. Built 2 for each of my garage doors. But the wife is pissed as she is very security conscience. I reboot my hassio at 2AM everyday and it cause my garage door to open. I think it can be fixed with poweronstate. But I can't figure it out. Any ideal?
Sounds like you have a retained command MQTT message?
@@digiblurDIY I checked. When I reset the device in using OTA Tasmota......the Garage door comes up whether the PowerRetain is set to 0 or 1.
Thanks for the information. Very useful.
You're welcome
Any clues if the Shelly Plus UNI can be flashed with Tasmota/ESPHome? I only find info for UNI but not for Plus UNI
Try this one? github.com/tasmota/mgos32-to-tasmota32
Any clues as what to do when OTA won't start?
The link is alright
I get a response
"{"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"","old_version":"20200629-130515/release-1.7@28744b8b"}"
But nothing happens...
Maybe the url is blocked and the Shelly can't download the firmware?
Hi. Sorry but it's not working to flash with tasmota on my 1PM.
I try and try and try...
Even donwngrading the firmware to older one succeeded, but not working with tasmota...
You might try the manual method. Also get the cable for the ones with smaller pins. www.tindie.com/products/voltlog/voltlink-cp2102n-usb-serial-adapter-programmer/
I did have some trouble getting this to work. It turned out to be that when I set a static IP, I did not supply a gateway. The shelly wasnt able to get out to the internet to download the file. Before I did this it would drop connection once, so i thought it was working. Once I put a gateway in, then it worked like in this video. It may not be an issue if you leave it DHCP? Thanks for the video!
Good point. Yes a valid outbound internet path is needed temporarily to do this upgrade. After that you are welcome to block it once Tasmota is on.
Is it possible to have Bluetooth Gateway supporting active connection with a non shelly firmware?
Bluetooth proxy with esphome
I flashed mine because the MQTT implementation is far superior in Tasmota. I was able to easily completely crash the shelly firmware
digiblurDIY So I did the Shelly 1 setup, but I dont know how to display the open / closed state of the reed sensor in home assistant. Just getting started with HA TASMOTA SHELLY. At this time I would prefer to just get it into HA without NODERED. Any suggestions?
After flashing tasmota on a Shelly Duo when I choose "upgrade firmware" it gives a warning "minimal firmware, please update" and MQTT is not available. Is there a binary I can upload to reflash? (tasmota 13.1)
Sounds like you started an upgrade or one is in process if you see the minimal screen. If it is stuck I would put the same version that minimal has.
Is temperature of 50C considered an acceptable temp? I have Shelly Dimmer 2 and even in off mode, temperature gets to 50C especially when enclosed. I have not tried to monitor the temperature before flashing Tasmota binaries so cannot tell if the same reading is with the original binaries. Any feedback on this is appreciated
Have you updated to the very latest version? I heard some fixes on some models. I just don't recall which ones.
@@digiblurDIY Yes I have. Tasmota 9.2.0, STM32 v51.5. Temp stays around 55C when loaded and enclosed. I think this should be fine knowing that chips are designed for over 100C junction temp. I am not sure where temp sensor is on this device but even if it measures ambient temp, this should be acceptable.
Hi, I have a question, I have flashed my tasmota and it worked fine, untill i changed my LAN setting , prevously i used 192.168.1. but now i use 192.168.10, So shelly 1pm is not on the network will OTA works??remember i installed shelly 1pm on th wall, sorry my English is not good.
I believe i answered you in another question?
@@digiblurDIY yes ,thnks keep it up
Great video as usual. I picked up a Shelly 1 and followed your video, but everytime the state of the reed switch changes the relay toggles. I think I missed something somewhere!
Is the rule put in and turned on correctly?
@@digiblurDIY Yes. First time using a rule, but added it and turned it on. Rule 1 shows the On state. Why does it have switch2. When I toggle the reed switch it shows switch1?
@@digiblurDIY I changed the Rule to Switch1 and everything seems to be working now. Thanks for all you do.
Glad you were able to figure it out. Where did you get switch2 from on the rule? I checked the blog post and I see it is showing switch1 but want to make sure it isn't somewhere else.
@@digiblurDIY It is the rule from your blog "(This rule below should all be pasted at one time)
Rule1 on switch2#state=0 do publish2 stat/%topic%/status closed endon on switch2#state=1 do publish2 stat/%topic%/status open endon"
Does flashing enable proper bluetooth proxy mode on the shelly 2nd gen? Right now I can't use them with my LD2410C which sucks cause I got a lot of shelly 2PMs around the house
I think you can use the stock Shelly firmware too with the BT proxy, I've never done it though. For BT Proxy though I'd really recommend a dual core ESP32, like the Wyze plugs I did or even just a simple ESP32 nodemcu.
@@digiblurDIYSo shelly does have BT proxy in the stock firmware but it's either active or passive (not sure) and isn't working with the LD2410C. I got a everything presence lite (with bt proxy) and it immediately picked up the LD2410C and HA could see it from 1 floor away.
Using a ESP32 nodemcu is my last resort... it gets complicated hiding these around the house at some point and I already have about 20 shelly 2PMs scattered around :)
Is it easy to flash back stock shelly firmware if I get around to testing tasmota / esphome and find out the BT proxy still won't work?
Thanks for your video! One question, has anyone found a working template for Shelly Bulb?

@@digiblurDIY ok I'm not able on this 😔
I would open a an issue with the github maintainer to see if he can help.
Oh my, I don't know what the mess up is, but I cant seem to find a fix. On 2 shelly 1 devices the same problem. Tasmota is flashed, then I connect the device to my network, I see it popping up. But it keeps dis and reconnecting or something (you see it show up and go away again for a second) and I can't visit the web interface.
Giving the device an new stactic IP or the same IP with a static rule makes them disappear and never show up again.
You got any wild ideas?
Anyhow, Thx for the video :) I have 3 of them working, now these last two.
Any blocking of services? Like internet? If you do please make sure you provide them a local ntpserver
@@digiblurDIY No, not that I'm aware of. Do you know a way to reset the Tasmota firmware? The powering off and on, and the 5 times triggering the input connector are non responsive.
Pretty cool, have you tried reverting back to shelly stock?
I have via USB TTL to test the OTA process a few times.
I converted to older shelly 1 from tasmota back to stock without any issues. I followed Mark Dornbach github "wireless" link...
You flashed ESPHome off camera. Is there a video on how to OTA ESPHome after Tasmota(lite)? Sorry for the noob question, the Shelly is in the wall and I'd prefer not to have to pull it.
Hmm... I've done it some projects before but with an ESP8266 it is simple. Just put Tasmota lite on the device, then upload your Esphome bin using the Tasmota GUI.

Hey Travis, Last night I flashed my Shelly 2.5 to tasmota this way. I did the update, all went good, as I was checking the configuration I noticed all that was on the main page was, the temperature and the 2 buttons no information like voltage, amp draw, any Ideas? I did use the right file and template. also no mqtt for energy just switch on off
well after about 4 hours of working with it and rebooting it about 20 times. I unplugged it came back later plugged it in and everything was there.
Maybe it wasn't updated or the template wasn't enabled?
I have this exact same problem today with a Shelly 2.5. There is no power information after the temperature and the two Toggle Buttons. The buttons don't work either, you can see actions appearing in the console but you can't hear the relays click. I have pasted the 2.5 template and clicked activate but when the unit reboots, its exactly the same. I physically power off the device and done loads of soft reboots, so I wonder how yours started working??
Ouch, I hadn't realized how expensive momentary switches were until I saw this video.
Any chance anyone knows the Tasmota template for the RGBW2 to control the 4 x white LED strip scheme. The one above seems to be RGB LED strip scheme
You can set it up however you like. You should see pwm1 through pwm4 in the template. These are your 4 light channels.
digiblurDIY thanks but I only get a single toggle on/off and colour settings. There is a user user on gpio05 whoch May switch between rgb and white but unsure what to do with it.
Is there a discussion board or way I can share a picture?
Look at setoption68 here. tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/
digiblurDIY thanks absolute legend
Ok, I have a problem using this method. Everything went ok but the switches(relays) don't work.
I updated a Shelly 2.5 UK, the firmware process went in fine, watched it reboot a few times. I then configured the device with the Shelly 2.5 template (in Other). I even have the device connecting fine to my HASS through MQTT but when I click on the Toggle Switches 1 and 2, I don't hear the relays. Fortunately, this device is accessible so I can hear the relays don't even toggle. This Shelly is/was functionally fine too, was working just before the OTA firmware switch to Tasmota. Sorry for the long message but I thought I'd try an pre-empt any question marks over the process and the operability of the Shelly prior to OTA.
I have a Shelly 2.5 here. This template is on it and running 9.2 of Tasmota.bin (make sure you are not using Tasmota- lite). If you need to update yours to the latest put this in the OTA upgrade URL field and hit the button and give it time to do the upgrade - ota.tasmota.com/tasmota/release/tasmota.bin
If it still is stuck, use the Discord link and we can further look at why yours is not working.
Great no more having to have GPS on the phone. 👍 Due to stock FW
Yup! All local is a beautiful thing!
Flashed with this process my Shelly EM with Tasmota, but no power metering is available, only the relay. Event with thew "official" template. Now can't even go back to sock firmware.
I created a template after pinning out the chip. It was working from what I remember. I shared it on a thread. Let me see if I can find it.
Shared the template here and others got it working. github.com/arendst/Tasmota/issues/8055#issuecomment-612658006
digiblurDIY flashed again with ftdi and fixed. Something went wrong with ota flashing
Gotcha! I was thinking it might need the tasmota-sensors.bin file too, wasn't sure if that sensor was moved over to that build. Thanks for the update!
How long does it take to flash. I have been waiting 15 minutes but it still says "updating"
It would have been done by now.
Do you have a link to a good Reed switch with a long cable?

Also once the device completely restored itself and was in access point mode all settings gone with no warning. Did the setup again and I started monitoring reboots and temp.

You try this part?
If the download fails, or your internet connection is disrupted, simply turn the device off and on again, the intermediate firmware will retry until it succeeds.
In the unlikely event that the WIFI credentials are wrong, the device will try to connect to a backup WIFI with SSID mgos-recover and password RJoPuKC3u5, which you can use for recovery.

Have they changed something, because this does not work now. I only get this message, nothing under "new firmware" {"status":"updating","has_update":false,"new_version":"","old_version":"20190516-073020/master@ea1b23db"}
Tried this with a Shelly Plug S. Device does not even reboot
Not that I know of. I tried it yesterday on the Shelly1 with the latest stock firmware.
Can you flash the shelly plus 1 OTA
Try this one github.com/tasmota/mgos32-to-tasmota32
Thanks for quick response. Will try and let you know if it works
I was able to use the link you referenced to flash the shelly plus 1. Everything was working fine until I initiated number 10 on the list (starting the safeboot conversion by hitting the start migration. Nothing after that looks like it went silent. I can see the wifi signal referencing tasmota but it time out on 192.168.4.1. Is it DOA? Can I flash it the old fashion way? Thanks in advance for your help.BTW Love your videos.
Yes you can still flash them via the pins on the bottom. I've done some later ones on that but if you want super simple someone made a flasher and cable for these new Plus line. www.tindie.com/products/voltlog/voltlink-cp2102n-usb-serial-adapter-programmer/
and thanks on the videos!
I am someone who doesn’t know anything about electronics or these electrical engineering words you are saying I am searching for someone with a simple step by step video of how can I install this and let my garage door open using my phone but I don’t find anything on UA-cam that helps me
Which words? I don't think I used an EE stuff as I'm no EE myself.
digiblurDIY I don’t know man I don’t get it I watched all the videos and there is no simple step by step video
Discord might be better. I do step by step even for beginners in mine.
i was like you too. keep digging you will reach there. after all those are electrical devices there will be some terminology. i did not see any heavy words in this very video though. I wish luck.
Thanks , i just wanted to throw it the trash because shelly app isn´t worth a s******. It worked well. Goining to flash the next one.
Bathroom wall, check. Shelly switch... shipping. LOL
Thanks for your work, I managed to flash everything except the Bulb lamp, flashed but not working because I was unable to make a correct template. I ask you, is it possible to go back and install the correct firmware on the shellys? Not only the Bulb, but also a couple of Shelly1's I would like to put back with their Signature, but I can't.
I found in the forum a link to this site where it says that is possibile update OTA
forum.shellyitalia.it/viewtopic.php?t=3743
this is the site link con i firmware
archive.shelly-tools.de/
then I also found another site that allows you to do it
www.shelly-support.eu/index.php?shelly-firmware-archive/
but even here it doesn't work and I always get the same error:
my browser after paste the long link generate: 192.168.1.5/ota?url=archive.shelly-tools.de/version/v1.9.3/SHBLB-1.zip
File non trovato (in english "File not found")
do you have any advice for me?
Thanks
I've never gone back myself except on a Shelly1 to test the process and did it via the serial headers
Think I bricked my Shelly :( Seemed like I got it flashing but no new AP. It's still reachable within my wifi though but when entering the IP I'm no longer getting a webgui. Only index of/. Good thing they're cheap 😂
Can't brick em via software really. That doesn't let the magic smoke out. Luckily most Shelly devices have exposed pins toe easily fix them.
@@digiblurDIY Yeah tried all OTA methods I could find. Only getting "Not found". I probably need the pin - usb adapter.
Wait. This doesn't work. One cannot ask, "Alexa, is the garage door open?". Nor can one command "Alexa, close [or open] the garage door." Serious rethinking needed here from scratch to raise the content of this video above click bait.
Works fine here and for many others. Are you holding it right?
@@digiblurDIY Digiblur, if I missed an Alexa integration demo, particularly the part where Alexa checks the status of the door open/closed hall effect sensor, and especially where Alexa operates the Shelly switch as a momentary SPST with adjustable time delay, the please accept my apology.
First I think you have my video mistaken with another given the click bait comment as I do not do that mess nor do I do the stupid crying pooping faces with bright ass colors on the videos.
No Alexa here so you didn't miss it. That's a whole topic in itself for voice assistants and security aspects there with integrations. Definitely a PIN code item there if I ever did it.
@@digiblurDIY Actually.... I think I agree with you, digiBlur. Re-reading the title, I think you delivered as promised; the mis-interpretation of 'Home Assistant' in the description was mine. The click bait snark was uncalled for. Please accept my apology. I'd be interested in integration with any digital assistant, Alexa or Google, should you wish to tackle that video in the future.
