Connect to cloud without application ?

    Can i configure a shelly device to connect to my cloud account without using the application ?

    Alas, i can not figure this out from shelly documentation (e.g.: https://kb.shelly.cloud/__attachments/…12-4a3b64952f4c). The web interface has a selction to enable/disable cloud, but there is no place to continue then explaining how i would connect the device to my cloud account.

    My shelly app (android 10 phone, version 5.24.4) does not manage to enroll the device directly. I had this problem in many cases (IMHO the applications sucks bedrocks), but i could always first connect my devices directly via their web interface to my wlan and then go to the app and "Add a device by IP".

    But when i use "Add a Device by IP", and enter the IP address of the Shelly Dimmer 2, the app says "Not a recognized Shelly device". And yes, my phone is connected to the same IP subnet as the Dimmer 2, and when i open the Dimmer 2 web browser i will see those HTTP connections. however, when i do an "Add a Device by IP", nothing shows up in the Dimmer 2 log for it.

    ;(

    Any help welcome!

    I never had any problems with the App. But you first should update your dimmer2 firmware.

    If device id has a length of 6 you should longify.

    Code
    http://<shellyip/longifyid

    Warning: Your device get‘s an Factory reset after that and you have to reconnet to your wlan

    But then you won‘t get this warning. And normally you don‘t have to Add by IP. The App will find new Shellys on his own.

    Same issue for me. I have several shelly devices with no problem at all. This is my first dimmer device and its behaviour is for me as explained by raidboy. Device is reacheble and actionable through web inferface http://<shellyip>/ but the app does not recognizes it, neither scanning or adding by IP ( getting the "Not a recognized Shelly device" )

    The deviceid length is a long number ( lot more than 6 )

    Any ideas about?

    Thanks in advance
