Error message: The device already belongs to another user / account

  • To all users:


    The error message mentioned in the subject can occur when connecting to the cloud if the device (1st generation) still has a 6-digit ID.


    If you know the background, it becomes clear that this is not a real error or bug!


    Due to the great success of Shelly products, the original 6-digit IDs were quickly assigned and used up. Allterco has therefore expanded the ID to 12 digits.


    However, this means that the new last 6 digits may overlap with a 6-digit ID, i.e. they are the same! -> error message


    The problem is easy to fix and is described in this lexicon entry:


    Instruction to update firmware in case with ID collision

    Please note:


    • Please be sure to follow the instructions before creating new threads
    • Please do not send any more emails or PMs to admin with the request to delete the devices from the cloud if it is a 6-digit ID
    • No more 6-digit ID's are deleted from the cloud, please save you and us / admin unnecessary work


    Thank you for your understanding.
