Dimmer2 says it doesn't need to update

    Hi, just bought a new Shelly Dimmer 2. According to HomeAssisant, the firmware in the dimmer is too old. So i need to update it.

    Dimmer says:

    The current Firmware version of your Shelly device is 20200629-130515/release-1.7@28744b8b No newer firmware available.

    This is not true though, i see newer firmwares on this forum.

    My Shelly1 v3 switch had no problem with updating at all !

    how do i solve this ?

    Found it, had to go to "internet settings" and then "connect it to the cloud."

    This is odd, the Shelly1v3 switch does NOT need this setting to update it's firmware.

    I say it's a discrepancy between the devices that makes this rather confusing.

    Yo Jaco, thank you.

    Really disappointed lately in the software of the shellies...you helped me there a lot!

    Btw its not even between different devices, but even between devices of the same sort. I had two shelly dimmer 2 and one upgraded just fine, one needed your activate cloud trick. Then the MQTT documentation is wrong as well... I will take a big step back from shelly if that continues.
