Shelly web console flakey

  • Hi I am trying to learn to code scripts on a Shelly Pro 3. This device is connected to my network via a LAN cable and Wi-Fi. I notice a few things as I am trying to code scripts locally onto it.

    1. the shelly keeps loosing connection. and takes a while to come back online.

    2. when I start a scrip and then try and use the console in the script editor to see printed output results, the script stops and I see zero in the console.

    only once and a while does the start stay running and I get to see the results.

    can anyone tell me what I am that is causing the Shelly to stop the script constantly?

    Kind regards

    Duncan

  • this is the problem, use either LAN or Wifi, not both at the same time.

    Hi this was part of my issue. I had also done a very stupid thing, that was to set a static IP of the same value for both the LAN and Wifi connections. This obviously was causing a network conflict. Then I found another issue was a bad LAN cable from my Patch Panel to my Switch.

    With all of these matters resolved I was able to script what I needed to.

    The Console however is not what I would class as very stable. I have noticed specifically with bad code (I am learning Shelly scripts here so my code is full of errors). the script stills stops without much warning. Only once you have a stable script have I found my script will stay running and I can see outputs more regularly. What this has meant for me, is not coding 10s of lines of code and working through the errors, but rather one element only, try that if that breaks fix it, if that works add a new element. much slower than coding in VS Code and Python in my view.

    I hope my failures help someone else.

    Take care D
